- Today we review Milwaukee M18 Drill and Impact Driver Combo. This drill and impact kit comes with the tools, 2 5ah batteries, a charger for m18 and m12, and a carrying case. The impact tool was my most used tool as an automotive mechanic. Both tools have great power and brushless motors. Thanks to Home Depot for providing these tools.

Upgraded from an older 18v kit. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv I independently chose the drill and impact tool, before I came across the kit.I like the 3 speed impact gun. It seems more powerful than my older one, and it can be set to be really gentle. The drill is more appropriately sized for my use. I used to have a hammer drill, but I did not like that it was so big and it was not a great hammer drill. I rather have a smaller drill like this, and then get a corded hammer drill for the odd case I need that.
I've owned an M18 impact and drill set for 2 years. As a service plumber these things have had a hard life. I've done countless fresh water and sewer re-pipes with them. The drill has seen thousands of 1 3/8" self feeding holes for water lines and 2 3/8" - 4" holes for drains. Half inch holes in the concrete when my rotary tools were down. I've used my impact for all of my metal drilling, wood screws, lag bolts, maintenance on my personal vehicles, maintenance on tank less/regular water heaters and sewage ejector pumps. These tools are a great investment and this particular set doesn't owe me a thing.
humble fyi that last mode on the impact is for self tapping screws. slowly ramps up the speed so it doesnt walk on ya and the slows it way down to set the screw nicely and not over drive it. mainly useful when screwing down sheetmetal screws with the rubber gaskets on them
Aaron Eby thank you for the knowledge bro
I'm glad for your comment on slowing impact driver. I had trouble with Philips head?

As an electrician, all my power tools are Milwaukee. Hands down the best tools. By the way the fourth setting is for self tapping screws, works great.
I got sucked into the Milwaukee hype bullshit and bought a load of M18 fuel gear. The gear is cheap shit, the triggers on all four of my tools often don't work and the torque claims are bollocks. I have gone back to Hilti and on head to head testing in my workshop they piss all over The Milwaukee's.
I have this same kit at work and I LOVE IT! Use the Impact driver every day and also the drill most days. It is incredible and I highly recommend it!
The 4th setting is for self tapping screws and it will tighten all the way up to first impact so that you don’t strip your hole; it’s designed for putting up metal siding.
Thanks for the review. It’s clear you took a lot of time using the tools and I appreciate not only your thoroughness, but also your honesty.
So many other reviewers tend to just seem like infomercials. It’s nice to see that your dedication is to us viewers, and not the manufacturers.
A giveaway of these would be awesome, but no one could blame you for wanting to keep these. 😁
Absolutely love my M18 impacts, the 1/4" is great for interior stuff and body work. The 3/8" is what gets the most use in my collection, working under the hood it has more then enough power to do just about anything I want it to, and can get the tool onto. Their 1/2" impact, while heavy, works wonderfully for getting lug nuts and crank bolts off. And so far haven't been able to kill them either, which is a major plus.
Anyone looking to get into these tools, CPO outlets sells factory refurb's for a good price if you're into that, and of course Home Depot has them new as well. Keep an eye on HD around the holidays, as they have the batteries on sale a lot.
Milwaukee fuel line up is awesome. Got rid of my snap on cordless tools and replaced them with Milwaukee and am so glad I did. The 1/2 drive one key impact smokes anything snap on has by a long shot.
I am a steel framer and picked up the Gen 3 kit and I have to say that its the absolute best impact driver ever made. Truely is most powerful and yet somehow so compact. Paid itself off many times already.
My milsuckie has lasted 8 years and built many things. Batteries still going strong. No complaints at all.
As an auto enthusiast. And as someone who is starting as an apprentice in a trade, these would definitely be a blessing!
Ive always likes Milwaukee the electrical company i use to work for ditched all their dewalt power tools in favor of Milwaukee. Also when i was an apprentice i had the little m12 impact and absolutely loved that thing its fallen off 50ft lifts, been soaked in mud pits, used hard everyday, and also has been run over by a work van and still runs strong. 10/10 would buy Milwaukee again.
Milwaukee do make a pretty awesome electric tool. That high torque impact wrench they have is amazing! Thanks for an awesome review!
Share a good website, batterynice.com/, where you can buy power tool batteries and chargers with great performance. They have warehouses in the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Australia, and they have complete brands (Dewalt, Makita, Ryobi, Milwaukee, Black & Decker, Porter Cable, Worx, Craftsman, Bosch, etc.) Free shipping and not expensive. If you just need to buy batteries, it’s worth checking out
Man I could use those. Keep me from borrowing everyone else's tools.
mdbeeler oof your the worst! The guy who always borrows everyone’s tools
And not return them ...lol
Definitely need to invest in tools bro. Borrowing sucks
the little light is a GREAT Idea! but it illuminates everything else BUT the bit point!! you can see everything else around the bit, but where you are drilling!
Bro this is too true
Just starting off in the industry, I graduate from UTI in July next year; would really appreciate these!
Looked all around to buy this exact set for a while now to get me started with contracting on smaller jobs :)
I did like that you showed it in real world use, not just reading specs.
milwaukee is my go to brand when it comes to battery powered tools. at work we have the largest impact driver milwaukee delivers, that thing is heavy AF but it removes any nut or bolt you point it at. we once had to remove a seized lugnut on our rear tractor wheel, it took 5-10 minutes to fully unscrew that nut and the battery was still half full when it finally got it off, RIP threads :')
I bought the impact driver. I do a lot of exhibition work so constantly fixing screws in and out all day long. It’s a real workhorse for carpenters and first fix carpentry. The 5amp hour battery lasted for a couple days between charges as well. Nice informative video.
I have the M12 set and LOVE IT. When I’m drilling through thick tile, it does heat up but less than my old B&D 20v. Zero issues with the chuck. Super happy with both for work and home.
Starting automotive school and these tools would be really useful.
I've always been a Dewalt Guy. I have been thinking about trying out Milwaukee so Today I'm in the Big Orange Box store and they have these drills and a Sawzall along with the packout box on wheels with ( 2) 5.0ah batteries and the charger for $250.00 half off the price of $500.00. I couldn't resist the deal , so I bought it and came and watched this review. Thanks for the review.
I’m a fan for sure.
Great Deal
I have this exact set that I use for projects around the house. I see that the impact driver may not be good for lug nuts but where else will it work well on? I would have liked for you to go into more detail of where this impact comes in handy around the auto shop.
I have that kit,love it.Replaced my 18 volt Dewalt drill and impact driver I don't use anymore
Just started a job at a dealership and these would help loads!
I'm an aerospace engineering student and work in a full scale aircraft structural lab taking apart an F-35. These would make life so much easier! Tough tools for a tough plane!
I'd love to win them. Keep up the good work. Thanks for giving the "at home mechanic" confidence.

We use these tools at my job (industrial plumbing). Beat the crap out of them and they almost never miss a beat. Only ever experienced the drill over heating when drilling for most of the day with large hole saws (4" or 5") . Only experienced the Chuck seizing once as well.
I got this set plus a 1/2 inch impact driver for 400 at home depot it still feel like a really good deal to me. I love them
I own the fuel m18 1/2 impact.. it’s a beast! I went to torque down bolts I had installed on a piece of heavy machinery- and they were already at spec of 180nm..Milwaukee is always a good choice, but it’s the icing on the cake with this bad larry.
I just started a program at my school and we need to supply tools for ourselves. This set would make life so much easier. Also, I use the Humble Mechanic pocket screwdriver from PetrolBox almost every day.
I actually just got the m18 600 ft lb 3/8th a few months ago and can happily say, it was worth every penny of its rediculous price tag!! If you haven't reviewed it yet you should!
I love the mid torque. It’s a little smaller and lighter. But still great power
I bought my fist set of milwaukee fuel 2 months ago and they kick ass with the hammer drill and impact driver.
I have Milwaukees 3/8 impact wrench 55lbft (awesomeness) and a m12 stubby 1/2 impwct driver. Love them they've paid for themselves over and over.
This wood be a perfect start to the Milwaukee tools I have wanted to get! It's so cool that he's giving these away!
i beat the crap out of my first M18 drill put up a nice fight for about 4 years before it let the smoke out... have the M18 brushless now seems pretty solid so far.
i really like your videos, iam just a humble diy mechanic that doesen´t have ANY power tools, and this kit could be my answer to so many time consuming jobs. GREETINGS FROM SWEDEN !
I love my milwaukee tools the best. And I just bought this drills set is perfect .
I use these at work and can confirm they are great. It'd be nice to have a set for home as well.
Humble! I service and maintain my own cars have found the top end M18 Fuel 1/2 impact wrench the biggest and best tool investment I have ever made.
I have a Vauxhall Tigra B (project car) and using that tool I was able to completely strip down the whole worn out front suspension and replace literally everything in about 1.5 hours. It made stripping out track control arms a breeze.
This impact wrench is angry. It rips through some big old bolts with ease and frankly, saved a lot of time and some knuckle skin. Before that job I wasn't so sure spending over £400 on an impact wrench was a good idea but now it has given me the confidence to go out and buy classic cars and build some new projects.
3 Year warranty too... I really rate Milwakee's high-end hardcore stuff!
Count me in!!!
Nice review. I’m glad you are giving them away rather than keeping them. Feels a bit less “dirty” that way.
As a mechanic, I use the M12 1/4" ratchet and drill kit. This would be a great step up to have. I am a fan as well....of you and Milwaukee.
Impressed by the amazing Review. I personally love using Milwaukee products. They are top-notch when it comes to portable tools.
Let me share with you a good website, batterynice.com/, where you can buy batteries for power tools with great performance. They have warehouses in the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Australia. It is worth visiting
Hey Charles! I would love to get a drill and impact! I just moved into an apartment at my college about a month ago. Week one was interesting...someone backing out next to my car in the parking lot ripped the bumper off my car. So instead of fixing the bumper I bought a light weight flywheel and metal slave cylinder for my B6 S4. It has really been a case of ballin on a budget with my story. Originally bought it for just over $2k and been dumping money into it ever since! Pulled the engine and did the timing chain job myself. Love the videos and the quality of your content. It's not over exaggerated and I greatly appreciate that! Keep being the dad your daughter needs! Shout out to one of the great dads! Build cardboard helicopters and make her laugh! Family is really all we got here!
Humble, love your channel. My DeWalt drill is slipping and would love to switch to these drills!
Who doesn't like a free tool giveaway?!? Can never have enough quality tools
Awesome review! For someone who has been around Audi's since 1999 and still does not have any air or impacts (yeah, what am I thinking?), this would be a great first addition in that category to my toolbox. I typically borrow air tools (have an air compressor) and have been reviewing electric impacts recently, so this review couldnt come at a better time. Pick me, pick me :)
Who wouldn't want this combo. Top notch kit.
As a building maintenance technician, I also use the impact driver more than the drill. And heck yeah, I could use those tools! 👍
Already have some tools(3/8 stubby impact wrench is on the way) in the m12 line. Would be very glad to have these in m18 line to expand my Milwaukee collection.
Hey Charles I'm a long time subscriber 1st time Commenting commenting I also just started my 1st job at shop and I could really use a drill. Thanks keep up the great videos.
Have the M18 1/2" impact driver. Nice tool. Low speed is supposed to be 100 ft lbs but is less and will not tighten lug nuts properly.
Great Review! Starting my first year Apprentice in automotive, would love to have these
DIYer here. weeked warrior working on my car!! would LOVE to have that Milwaukee kit as my first power tools!!
I agree with you on pick up the 2Ah batteries. The big battery packs are great if you're drilling a lot of large holes with a drill, but I really don't think they're necessary with a 1/4" impact. I know with my (non-Milwaukee) big cordless drill with a 1 1/2" paddle bit, I can kill a 2Ah battery in a few minutes and with my 3/8" cordless impact, the same battery lasts all day of regular use or a few hours of constant use.
Milwaukee tools are really good tools. I don't have any for personal use, but I do use them quite often at work.
Great review overall! But torque as pound-feet instead of Nm and mass as ounces instead of kg really makes it hard to understand without using a calculator all the time. I would love to see you using metric units, at 03:50 you even used Nm as torque, but then continued with pound-feet. Besides that your video was very informative and concise, good job!
Great review, as usual. Ty. Never really considered Milwaukee, being a DeWalt guy. The Fuel ID looks really great. I'll try to find a place I can "test drive" one.
I love my M18 compact drill and impact. I wasn't sure about the impact, but I got the kit with both partially on your recommendation on how much you used the impact. I then realized how many more times I needed to drive fasteners for home and automotive projects versus using the drill.
The two Milwaukee tools I would love to have you review would be the 2767-20 high torque impact as an alternative to a pneumatic impact and the M18 Surge hydraulic impact driver (2760-20) as a quieter alternative to the standard Fuel impact driver.
Now I have tool envy again and it is time to start saving up to upgrade my cordless drill. My current one has issues when I use it to run an ice auger for ice fishing over the winter.
This would be a great set. I'm still doing everything by hand with my trusty Craftsman ratchet set I bought YEARS ago.
Nice. I just got the M12 Fuel 3/8" impact. I may have to add this for larger jobs.
These would be great to have at work, (apprentice diesel tech). I had to borrow an impact yesterday to remove and reupholster seat bottoms.
Oh hell yes I would love the set. My old Craftsman just don't cut it anymore.
Great review. I'd like to see more power tool reviews, especially more Milwaukee tools. Definitely a fan of yours and a fan of Milwaukee Power tools. would love to get a kit like this.
Nice drills!
I’m “jazzed up” about that impact driver
So I already have the older m12 brushless. Its treated me pretty well. I could use an upgrade but I'd never I'm doing ok for myself. I'd throw my hat in for an tech school graduate or apprentice though. Them young boys need all the help they can get with tools. If I see someone has serious drive and passion that I know is just getting started out I give him my old tools or take very little money. It's nice seeing new younger guys doing it. I feel as if that numbers falling to sadly...
On a more AWESOME note! I just bought the new snapon thermal imaging camera. I know it's not a tool I need but I've been wanting one for.... shit.. at least 10 years. Pricey bastard but I'm looking forward to it!
I'm a Milwaukee fan as well. I have a M18 drill and angle grinder at my work and they are just awsome. I would realy like to have some for my self.
Hey man, the last button is a self tapping mode for self tapping screws.. starts it off slow to minimize walking of screw then ramps it up to send it and stops just as you set screw in place to prevent stripping it out. Great video but wanted to clarify that for you and others that might not know. Cheers m8
Thanks for the addition. That is not a feature I've used in automotive. But I bet you can find a place for it. :)
My tools were stolen from my truck.
My company let me buy a new drill set.
I bought these. They are very 👍🏻
I could use those every day. My old set is 15 years old and on its last legs. Batteries only last about 5-10 minutes after full charge.
I have just saved up enough and brought a brushless angle grinder but I went for a Makita ..I would like to give a impact driver a try but a Milwaukee.They are becoming popular..Great review..Thanks
Those tools take a lot of stress without any damage at all, I understand that is ideal not not max it everyday but it will deliver for most applications.
agree!!
Wife got me this for Xmas. I’m pretty excited.
This is almost exactly what I have been looking for...this particular kit is bit (no pun intended) out of my price range and I've been trying to decide between just going impact or drill.
Let me share with you a good website, batterynice.com/, where you can buy batteries for power tools with great performance. They have warehouses in the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Australia. It is worth visiting
Very impressive, I would love that tool.
i have been replacing all my snap-on electric tools with either mac/dewalt OR Milwaukee, they have much better battery life, are much better value for the money, much more durable and best of all i can run into the home center to grab a battery if i need one for much less than the snap-on ones
Yep. I didn’t buy in on the Snappy electric stuff. I always felt it was too expensive
I have both the M12 and M18 versions of these and 90% of the time find myself grabbing the M12s just so much smaller but feels like almost the same power.
Just got me a second set of wheels for my R, I have to travel 100 some miles every other weekend basically for autox, swap wheels run and swap wheels again, it sucks with hand tools lol! Long time sub here, love your work buddy 🤙
Great job on the comments for the tools ,like the feedbacks ,thanks ,take care
These drills are awesome its gotta be number 1 use on the when shit breaks
I'm just getting into the game and I have the baby brother m12 impact and it's so crazy how much torque comes out of it I love Milwaukee they are winning my my attention left right and center I love there stuff and hope to collect more and more and more
I just bought a house and have a ton of work to do and could really use these
Could use em, I work alot at night on the weekend. Can't use too many loud tools / air tools as to not piss off the neighbors.
I'm from Europe so Milwaukee's are a little more expensive down here and are a little out of my reach just for working around the house and car. Would love to have some, maybe one day :)
I would love to have this combo. Would be so useful around the garage
I would love to use the little impact gun. I borrowed a dewalt impact for a little bit and it really is a nice thing to just run down nuts and bolts really fast. Taking off exhaust with an impact helps a lot too.
I'm a newly certified VW tech and would absolutely love to have this set to use at work! Please Charles!?
Willing to pay for shipping to Canada too! 👍 🇨🇦
I had a really old Milwaukee impact drill for 6 years with no issues and it just now died. I could use a current model.
I would love to add them to my tool collection. They would come in handy.
I support Home Depot motor sports. The impact would be awesome for my tool kit for auto tech school
I could really use both of these Fuel Milwaukee tools. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the video. I have some of the M12s and they work great. I'll use those M18s for sure.
You need their new stubby M12 impacts. They have 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" Models. 250 ft/lbs or torque and a mode that run bolts down without over torquing or snapping them.
Could really use a quality impact. Been starting to do more car maintenance myself and have been trying to build up my tool collection. An impact is one of the few things I still need.
I'd love to get my hands on the combo kit... bought myself a new Milwaukee Fuel sawsall and wow is it better then any other similar one that I've used before
I bought the m18 not the fuel and I drilled a single whole through 4 peices of timber about two inches thick each with a 16 mm auger bit, nothing the makita I previously owned ever struggled with, the gear box blew straight away 😂 luckily got a replacement straight away
i have the fuel 1/2inch and 3/4inch for work. there hands down the best we have used. much better than snapon and IR
Damn im old
Remember when i just cared about candies
Now i get excited for things like this lol
