Milwaukee M18 FUEL D-Handle Rotary Hammer Straightens Out Traditional Design
The new Milwaukee M18 FUEL D-Handle Rotary Hammer features an in-line design for extended overhead and downward drilling applications. It matches and even exceeds the power of their existing corded rotary hammers according to Milwaukee. With one charge, the D-handle rotary hammer can perform a full day’s operation. While this may be a little ambitious, they’re certainly getting a lot of work out of their battery packs.
“As users look for increased productivity, Milwaukee’s advances in motor and battery technology have made it possible to provide a full range of SDS Plus solutions on a single battery platform. This has allowed the rotary hammer market to begin trending from corded to cordless. Through our best-in-class FUEL technology, we’re able to provide these users with the ability to completely cut the cord and experience the immense productivity benefits of a cordless D-Handle on the same battery platform as the other tools they’ve come to know and trust.”
– Andrew Plowman, Director of Product Management for Milwaukee Tool
The D-Handle Rotary Hammer is built with corded durability and longer than expected run-time from this class of tool.
“The design of the Milwaukee M18 FUEL D-Handle Rotary Hammer has moved from a squat drill to an elongated reciprocating saw style body. That gets your support hand further down the tool for a more stable grip. While it’s optimized for overhead and downward applications, users will also find a new hand position by bringing the auxiliary handle down for side drilling while standing.”
– Kenny Koehler, Pro Tool Reviews Managing Editor
