Can the Milwaukee M12 FUEL Hammer Drill Use SDS-Plus Bits?
Asked by DiyMaster1234
Hey, I'm pretty new to the DIY scene and just bought a Milwaukee M12 FUEL drill. I'm curious if it's compatible with SDS-Plus bits. I haven't tested it yet since I'm waiting for it to arrive from Latin America in about a month. Thanks for any insights!

The M12 FUEL drill doesn't support SDS bits, but it performs well with regular hammer drill bits. I just used mine to install some concrete screws in my basement, and it handled it like a champ!

Unfortunately, the M12 FUEL drill isn’t designed to work with SDS-Plus bits. While there are adapters out there, they won't give you the power needed for effective use. You're better off sticking to standard hammer drill bits with this model.

BitFinder22: I’ve had a similar issue finding HEX bits that are suitable for concrete. It can be tough to locate the right ones online. Look for masonry bits specifically designed for concrete—those should work great. As for using the 2.0 battery, yes, it should be fine for handling concrete, just ensure you don't overheat it!
