Hey folks! I'm in the market for a compact drill to help out around the house, especially for all the furniture we keep assembling. I'm curious whether it's worth spending an extra $55 on the Brushless M12 Fuel over the regular M12 Brushed model. The Brushed version comes with one battery and a charger for about $145. What do you all think? Is the Fuel worth the extra cost?

I'd recommend sticking with the brushless Fuel if you can. The M12 isn't the strongest drill out there, and you want the extra power and reliability, especially for heavier projects.
For sure, go with the M12 Fuel all day! It's my favorite. If you're planning on doing any serious projects, consider getting both the drill and the impact driver. Also, check out the 4-in-1 installation driver; it's handy for a lot of jobs! Just keep in mind it has limitations on bit sizes due to the chuck.
Definitely go for the M12 Fuel! It's got more power and lasts longer, which is super helpful for all sorts of tasks around the house. If you're going to invest, this option is really worth it!
Totally agree! I started with a basic drill but upgraded to the Fuel, and it's been a game changer. No regrets!
