18v Drill

[TBServices]

Why are you using an impact for clips and PB? The TINY M12 CD does that stuff with ease!

I only use my impact for large screws through timbers etc.

The impact driver C18 ID in that kit is only single fixed torque whereas the Fuel drill kit impact has 3 torque settings from very low for delicate screws etc, to very high.
Also the Fuel drill is lighter & smaller, so personally I would get the Fuel kit.

i have a 3 speed impact driver, has not made a difference in how i use the tool really. If im doing delicate work i would not use an impact driver tbh but a drill driver with the clutch setting required. I guess it depends what you want to pay and use it for. If you want to spend the extra 100 squid get the fuel, or spend the 100 squid on a saw or radio. If the weight is a concern then get a kit with the 2ah batts.

choices, choices! 🙂

The main reason i got the fuel stuff was the weight reduction and the normal impacts tendency to snap screws on occasion.
or fly straight through talon clips!

i mainly use my fual impact on 2 which is plenty powerful.
one for plasterboard and floor boards.

3 for lag bolts or 4 inch plus screws.

i would always spend the extra money on the fuel stuff now.

Thanks for telling me. Exactly what I had thought - I don't want an impact driver that is full torque all the time as it would make it unusable for a lot of work. When spending £300 + what's another few quid?

I have a little combo van so i try to carry as little with me as i can

so i have a dewalt t stack with my sds and impact in and 4 batts
2 3 amps and 2 1.5 amps.
All my drill bits in the top.
Does me 90% of the time 🙂

I keep my CD in my tool bag. I love love love it.

another option is you could spend the extra 100 towards a 10.8v/12v screwdriver for the delicate work. the dewalt would be my choice.

Nope. Milwaukee again. Everything else is PANTS. not even an opinion, it's just fact.

do you have both? i prefer my dewalt over my M12 mainly down to the grip/comfort. both good tho.

2 setting is what you get out of a makita impact performance wise imho,
1 is really delicate, soon as it starts to "impact" it cuts out
will still go through plaster board if you're not careful but its controllable.

i have a screwdriver for putting plasterboard up though, i would never use it other than the odd fixing in pb

I don't bother with expensive bits. The boxes of 20 dewalt for a few quid are so cheap they're disposable and the life/cost ratio (cost per screw) is better than expensive bits.

No I don't, I wouldn't dream of holding a dewalt "tool". They're for kids aren't they? 😉

Milwaukee's bits arn't rated high enough for their own impacts.

Only wera and dewalts black impact range are!

HEY! I only tried to lick that angle grinder once! Bans been lifted.

 

[TBServices]

And yes, I'll use their bits. Reasonably priced and readily available.

 

[Hirstgas]

Is there just one model of the M12-CD or are they all the same?

 

[IDCHAPPY]

I've got this, it's light enough to carry all day and can drill 20mm in masonry.
its worth getting the 4ah batts for it if your budget can stretch, then I've got the 18v combi drill with 3ah for screwing and "soft" drilling.

Oooh, I just got a semi :lol:

 

[Plumbstar Tom]

oooh, i was going to go for the Maita combi kit, either brushless or not (brushless ahs slightly less upmh) but not though about Milwaikee so ths has thrown a spanner in to the works now. thats a good price from FFX

What to do

I think I will end up with a Milwaukee fuel 18v set. Its more than I want to pay, but seeing as I don't intend on buying these items again for a fair few years I may as well go with the best ones available at the current time. Just need to hunt down the cheapest place for it now.

 

[Killy Bing]

I will shop around for you, as i'm a lovely person 😀

when you get it makesure to register with the milwaukee heavy duty site for the warrenty.
