Fully redesigned, this solution features increased speed and performance while maintaining industry leading sound and vibration reduction when compared to a standard impact driver.
The new M18 FUEL™ SURGE™ features a ground-up redesign of the FLUID-DRIVE™ Hydraulic Powertrain that delivers up to 50% quieter operation than standard impact drivers. The significant reduction in noise for a tool used daily by many professionals helps to limit long-term hearing risks for users. This quieter performance also makes the SURGE™ Hydraulic Driver an ideal solution for use in occupied spaces or noise-restricted locations, enabling professionals to work confidently with minimal disruption to surrounding areas.
Delivering a noticeably smoother driving experience, the M18 FUEL™ SURGE™ Hydraulic Driver reduces metal-on-metal contact within the tool, with up to 3X less vibration than standard impacts. Impact driver users will experience less fatigue and strain in application while using the M18 FUEL™ SURGE™ Hydraulic Driver. The new SURGE™ Hydraulic Driver is also 0.7” shorter and 0.3 lbs lighter than the previous generation, making it easier to maneuver in confined spaces and more comfortable to use over extended periods.
The POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor delivers up to 3X faster driving speeds than the first generation and 1,000 in-lbs of torque, expanding the range of applications. This capability, combined with an improved trigger design and 3-MODE DRIVE CONTROL™, ensures users can find the right balance of speed and control needed on the jobsite. REDLINK PLUS™
Intelligence provides advanced thermal management and overload protection, allowing the tool to run cooler and more efficiently during extended use.
