Brushless motors are driving revolutionary performance.
Milwaukee Tool continues to revolutionize cordless power tools and expand the industry’s largest sub-compact battery system with the introduction of M12 FUEL™ — an exclusive line of extreme-performance cordless power tools within the M12™ System designed, engineered and built by Milwaukee® to take 12V to the next level of performance and durability.

The M12 FUEL™ line will include six unique drilling and fastening tools that all integrate Milwaukee’s exclusive POWERSTATE™ brushless motor, REDLINK PLUS™ intelligence and brand new REDLITHIUM™ 2.0 battery pack to deliver tools that will out run many compact 18V tools on the market today. M12 Fuel™ Drills will include a 2-Speed Screwdriver, Drill/Driver, and Hammer Drill/Driver. The M12 FUEL™ Impact offering will include a ¼” Hex Impact Driver, ¼” Square Impact Wrench, and 3/8” Square Impact Wrench.

The new POWERSTATE™ brushless motor works harder and lives longer than all leading competitors, while reducing noise and cooling more rapidly to deliver years of maintenance-free performance. Milwaukee POWERSTATE™ brushless motors convert energy into power and torque more efficiently resulting in superior application performance. REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence hardware and software is the world’s most advanced system of cordless power tool electronics that will maximize performance and protect the user’s investment. REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence is a best-in-class system that integrates full-circle communication between tool, battery and charger, and constantly monitors this internal network to maintain ideal conditions.

The new Milwaukee REDLITHIUM™ 2.0 batteries provide up to 2X more run-time, 20% more power and 2X more recharges than standard Lithium-Ion batteries. REDLITHIUM™ 2.0 also delivers best-in-class performance in extreme job-site conditions. With Milwaukee® durability built into each pack, the REDLITHIUM™ 2.0 battery operates cooler and performs in climates below 0°F/-18°C with fade free power.

Available this winter, the new M12 FUEL™ products are a true testament to Milwaukee’s focus on the user and investing in game changing technology. Get the latest information and updates on Milwaukee FUEL™ products at www.milwaukeetool.com/fuel and www.milwaukeetool.com/brushless.
