I've been using my m18 fuel hammer drill for tapcons and I realized today that I have quite a few jobs coming up that will require many more tapcons. Would a m12 fuel rotary hammer be a better option?
Are you using the 2712 (1") or 2715 (1-1/8") today? The ratings are pretty close but the performance/weight/size are pretty different which is why I ask.
I'm pretty biased, but the M12 FUEL 2416 And M18 2612 (5/8") were designed specifically with these kind of fasteners in mind. Great performance in those hole sizes but keeping the weight down.

The M18 is a more powerful drill. Sure.
Torque isn't what counts when drilling concrete, it's impact energy. Hammer drills just don't have much impact energy, that's why they don't usually measure it or even publish it. It's good in a pinch for small holes, but that's about it.
You have the right idea. The tools operate very differently. To a point, the hammer drill speed is proportional to how hard the user pushes. With a rotary hammer, just keeping it engaged with the material (just enough pushing force) is the optimum condition. Further pushing just adds additional drag which can slow down the tool and reduces #holes drilled on a charge.

It's the same saw, guys.

Hmmm...Plumber, Electrician, ... Pest Control? This could go great with my M28 mouse trap concept.

Magic 8 ball, will M28 come back from the dead? "Outlook not so good".
Putting out the SDS Fuel M28 overseas seemed like it was coming back a year or two ago but it turns out that was the Jokers at Milwaukee roleplaying Weekend at Bernies with M28s corpse.
Not just overseas. It's an M28 version of the M18 2715.

Hopefully it's available in a bare tool.
Both are coming out as bare tools. Looks like the die grinder page isn't up but the mid torque is up:

Well, i don't think this will help, it says the chuck is 1/2" But this is the second gen Fuel drill
1/2" is referring to the capacity of the business end. The internal thread of the chuck for fitting to the output spindle is 9/16"-18 UNF.

Hello everyone,
I've been having a problem with the milwaukee M18 FPD 2nd gen drill.
The chuck got stuck and I need to replace it.
The problem is that on this newer model the spindle on to which the chuck is mounted is actually larger than on the older model and larger so far than any chuck i've tried to fit on it.
From what I've learned this particullary spindle would be 9/16".
So far I have not been able to find a chuck that would fit this drill and I REALLY need new chuck.
Is there any way to proper identify this type of chuck and if yes where can I get one
P.S. No i haven't tried to have it serviced as it would take at least a couple of weeks....
You can find the part number for the chuck by searching the model number on this site.

I've been looking at the several different M12 cameras and can't justify buying one....yet. I just haven't come across a situation where I needed it. Still trying though.
You might already know this, but there are a few different models at different prices. The 2309 goes for around $100. It runs on a standard 9V battery rather than M12.

It fits! Used some foam from an old car seat cushion. Still has room for a long bin to hold packages of brads and 1 small bin for whatever and just enough room to tuck in any xc (3.0, 4.0, or 5.0... maybe 6.0) battery. Don't need a battery this big, but I don't have an extra slim pack. When the box is stood up (carried) it holds it tight and the weight of the tool actually hangs from the bit of divider I left in there. Glad I didn't cut it all the way out.
Just wanted to let you know that I LOL'd at seeing the handwritten "3.0" on the battery--awesome.

I have a good reason to think that the account is real. I forwarded a few posts to Dan about some issues that a crew member was having with a Milwaukee tool.
If I had to guess I'd say real, so I wouldn't doubt you. Fake account probably wouldn't add the NA at the end.

@A_Milwaukee_Engineer has posted on here a few times, not conclusive if the user name is the actual title, but the answers have been knowledgeable so im guessing he/she has more info than we might
I am actually an engineer at Milwaukee Tool if that's what you mean. I don't know who the 'Milwaukee Tool NA' account is or if it's real. o_O maybe, maybe not.
QuoteI'm in power tool new product development. I've lurked here for a long time. Just made an account to answer a question. Great forum y'all have here. I'm a tool nerd myself, so it's fun to read the commentary from a bunch of fellow tool nuts.

Good point on AC/DC (war of currents), but Carl is right. I was referring to wireless power. Tesla's experiments from 100 years ago are pretty interesting to read about.

Wireless Charging
This thing is Amazing! I had no idea it even existed or was in the works.
Been using this battery for 3 days straight on my M18 2731 Saw and M18 2704 Hammer Drill
Please keep this under wraps as its a prototype I got from Milwaukee
Should be out next month

Why not just ask for an M18 bicycle with a tool case on the handlebars?
Time to cancel all my projects and get going on this!

I watched that hoverbike one when it came out. I thought the guy was going to lose a leg trying to ride that thing. Pretty crazy.

I'll be buying the polisher. Interested in the weedeater as well, but it appears that the battery in use is their 9.0 battery on it. Was I reading right in some of the photos that with the 9.0 that the tool is capable of using it at 54V?? 18x3 through the use of the battery taps rather than straight 18v??
Mike, nope. It's 18V. Three rows of cells to get the extra capacity. Our XC packs have 2 rows.
Edit: I think I see the image you are referring to in #NPS16. They are saying that the pack designer could configure the pack that way if they chose to. Series versus parallel.

I was wondering if there is any way to see what "version" of a tool you have based on the serial #. I have a M18 fuel drill/driver combo kit (the 2897-22) and purchased it about 2 months ago now. I think this kit has been out for over a year now. I was reading on another forum they have made new versions/variations since my kit was first released. for example i was told the newer ones have all the electronics inside sealed in silicone. ...are the drill & driver exactly the same inside. if you were to get it today vs if you got it the day it was released? or are there dif versions/builds out there even thou the model # is the same.
Check out the box on the top of each pdf. You will see the different Service Parts Lists on each product's webpage.

Tim,
Hopefully this helps. Some of the links/screencaps you have are to older models which can get confusing, for sure.
Here's the current lineup:
Brushed https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/combo-kits/2691-22
Compact Brushless https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/combo-kits/2799-22cx
FUEL ("Gen2") https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/combo-kits/2897-22
FUEL + ONE-KEY https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/combo-kits/2796-22
These are all hammerdrills with 1/4" hex impact drivers. Batteries vary but are listed in the contents. Comp covered the battery line-up (only missing the 6.0Ah XC which like the 9.0Ah isn't out quite yet).

That's the hole size they are recommended to drill most of the time.
As Jeff said, it's the maximum hole diameter you should use the tool for. Can the tool drill the hole? Yes. Is it the speed you'd be satisfied with for frequent use? Probably not. For the usual size, divide the max rating by 2 and add 1/8" or 1/4". Usually gets you pretty close.
If you were drilling 1" holes all day, you wouldn't want to be using SDS. SDS-Max would be more appropriate (with 1-1/2"+ max rating).
SDS or SDS+ or SDS-Plus are all the same thing with a common shank size. SDS-Max is a different, larger shank size.

After further review I think the loose piece may be 42 on this diagram. Does anybody know what the retaining ring is holding into place?
Based on your original picture, I think you're right. It snaps on to the nose of #29 to keep it (and associated parts) from falling back into the tool.

I have an old Sawzall that has a really loose internal housing bolt I'm having trouble figuring out how to tighten or replace. If there is a how-to video or set of steps somewhere someone can point me to, that would be awesome. Thanks!
You can search for a service parts list at the address below. Searching the four digit model number will usually return a list of results. Look at the first four digits of the serial number to match the right list to your particular tool.

Welcome to TIA. Thank you for answering my question.
Can you build us a Fuel multi tool? LOL!
I can do anything I put my mind to, Mr. Harris
M12 rotary hammer vs m18 hammer drill

Oh, whoops. I misread your post title. Sorry about that.
Well, anyway, I think you'll love one of the small rotary hammers for a big Tapcon job over the hammerdrill.
