Milwaukee Tool has just announced a new pair of M18 FUEL cordless power drills, and we are stoked about it. These newcomers are a new and improved generation of tools from one of Milwaukee’s most highly respected cordless lines, the M18 series. Milwaukee cordless tools are known for dependability and have a solid reputation for being some of the finest professional-grade products. Having the FUEL designation means these tools feature brushless motors, making them solid yet long-lasting.
