Milwaukee® Launches New and Improved M18™ Compact Drilling and Fastening Tools

Milwaukee® continues to strive for and deliver best in class solutions with the launch of six new M18™ Compact Drilling and Fastening products. Featuring improved performance, features and ergonomics, Milwaukee® will introduce two new compact drills and 3 new compact impact drivers/wrenches, all of which will begin a transition to replace existing models on the market today.

The new models will include the M18™ Compact Drill/Driver (M18 BDD), M18™ Compact Hammer Drill/Driver (M18 BPD), M18™ Two-Speed Compact Impact Driver (M18 BID), M18™ 3/8” Compact Impact Wrench (M18 BIW38) and M18™ 1/2” Compact Impact Wrench (M18 BIW12).

Since launching in 2007 and 2008, the C18 DD and C18 ID have been the most successful cordless drill and impact driver in Milwaukee® company history, leading the charge in the M18™ System’s rise as the fastest growing 18V system in the world. The 18V Compact Drilling and Fastening category has long been the largest and most competitive segment in professional power tools, and Milwaukee® will look to continue leadership within this category with a dedication to delivering best-in-class solutions.

The new products are the most compact tools in their respective classes, featuring improved ergonomics for greater accessibility into tight working areas. In addition, the tools have best-in-class power to weight ratios, delivering more power under load, more output torque, and increased speed for faster drilling and fastening.

With the durability users have come to expect from Milwaukee®, the new Drill Drivers and Impacts offer advanced electronics through Milwaukee’s REDLINK™ INTELLIGENCE. This system provides advanced overload protection in abusive situations and improved temperature management to maximise tool life and protect the user’s investment. 

The new M18™ Compact Drill/Driver (M18 BDD) and M18™ Compact Hammer Drill/Driver (M18 BPD) are also the only tools in their respective classes that feature an all-metal gear case and all-metal ratcheting chuck for impact resistance and maximum durability.

The new M18™ ¼” Hex Compact 2-Speed Impact Driver (M18 BID) gives users the option to choose between two fastening modes for increased versatility. With Milwaukee’s proprietary 2-Mode DRIVE CONTROL™ feature, users are able to maximise productivity on the jobsite with optimised speed and power for the application at hand.

The new tools are compatible with the entire M18™ System, now offering over 50 cordless Lithium-Ion products. Milwaukee® is committed to the on-going development of this platform and will continue to provide innovative solutions that offer industry leading reliability, performance and ergonomics.
