Hey everyone! I'm considering a switch from DeWalt to Milwaukee for my tools and I'm particularly interested in their M12 impact driver line. I've heard great things about the Fuel series, but I want to know which specific model I should go for to help me make this change. Any recommendations?

You should definitely check out the Milwaukee 2551-20, which is the Surge Hydraulic Impact Driver. It's incredibly quiet and powerful – one of the best I’ve used! Perfect if you want something that really packs a punch without all the noise.
If you’re looking for the top-tier M12 impact driver, you can't go wrong with the Milwaukee 3453 Fuel 3rd Gen. It’s considered the best of the best from Milwaukee! Plus, there's an awesome kit with the drill available right now, which comes with free batteries. Just a heads-up, I did have some disappointment with the M12 Surge though; I've heard they might be updating it soon, so keep an eye out for that!
I actually got the new kit recently and really like the 3rd gen impact driver! The drill isn't as beefy as the larger models, but it's been doing the job well for me.

The hammer drill in that kit is surprisingly good for its size too!
