4 Heads are Better Than 1
Access and control are the names of the game with the Milwaukee M12 Fuel Installation Driver. To accomplish this end, Milwaukee has designed the drill with a whole lot of versatility.
It comes with 4 interchangeable heads you can swap out depending on the job at hand. It comes with a 3/8″ chuck for your standard, run-of-the-mill type drill work. A 1/4″ hex head takes care of impact driving applications. An offset head can get you tight into drilling and driving into tight spaces, while a right angle head makes working around corners possible.
The heads lock into the tool in 16 different positions, providing a prupose-built solution that adapts to any angle you’ll find yourself up against.
While certainly similar to the Bosch 12V FlexiClick and the Festool Quadrive, Milwaukee changes up the design. The Milwaukee Installation Drill features a slim profile with an inline grip on the back of the tool that adds to your control. The top of the drill is also flat, which lets you place it flush against the work surface.
On the front of the drill, Milwaukee placed a magnetic bit holder to keep a few options close at hand.
Milwaukee 2505-22 Power
The Milwaukee M12 Fuel Installation Driver features a brushless motor that makes sure you actually have the power to drill or drive into those tight spots. It can generate up to 1600 RPM and up to 300 in-lbs of torque, making it a solid solution for electrical, cabinet, MRO, HVAC, automotive, and remodel installation applications.
What We Think
For the $229 kit price, the Milwaukee 2505 Installation Driver brings a design reminiscent of the well-regarded Festool C18. It just does it for way less. It then adds a lot more functionality and flexibility—wrapping it all up in an M12 tool. This tool fits really well in the hands of MRO Pros, HVAC techs, and even cabinetmakers and finish carpenters. We like the flexibility, the design, and the value…and that’s pretty much the trifecta for new tools.
Pricing
The Milwaukee M12 Fuel Installation Driver is available as a bare tool for $179. It comes with the 4 head attachments, a compartmentalized contractor bag to keep those heads organized, a belt clip, and a 3-year warranty.
You can also pick it up as a kit for $229. It comes with all the aforementioned additions, but with a 12V battery and charger as well.
