Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp. expanded its M12 lithium-ion system with the introduction of what it calls the industry’s first sub-compact hammer drill/driver. The tool delivers 275 in-lb of torque and 0-400/0-1500 rpm, measures 7-5/8-in. long and weighs 2.8 lb. The M12 hammer drill/driver features a metal gear housing for durability and a single-sleeve, metal-ratcheting chuck for good bit retention. An integrated ‘fuel’ gauge and LED light provide added user convenience. The tool is among the first to be powered by the recently introduced RedLithium battery technology. It includes the hammer drill/driver, two M12 RedLithium batteries, 30-min charger and carrying case.
