You can use them 1 handed and not worry about ti spinning. They are light weight and super powerful. Take a look at this, just insert an auger bit and drill out an entire house: https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/cordless/2765-22 To be honest, I use my M12 Impact gun with a 3/4" DareDevil spade bit to do most of my drilling thru joists. But I do service work so I don't do nearly as much drilling as an electrician doing new construction. |

I tried a 7/16" hex adapter on my Fuel High Torque, and as I expected, I didn't care for the lack of speed, nor for the racket it makes. I'll stick with my M18 Hole Hawg.

The 1,600in-lb model? The one I linked to is 750 ft-lbs. That's 9,000in-lbs! Big difference, it goes thru fast and like butter. |

Does anyone have both the M12 sticklight AND the lantern?
I have the sticklight and LOVE it. I am just wondering how it compares to the M12 lantern (before I spend the money on the lantern). |

I have the M12 stick light, and the M18 lantern. The lantern is more for general illumination, as one might expect, than for lighting a task. It is also a softer light than the stick provides. I have pretty much all of the Milw. LED's, other than the 2 just released. Of them, the M18 flood is what I use the most, but my go-to work light is a Bosch FL12. Great little light, with a magnet that holds better than any the Milwaukees. |

i have the m12 fuel 1/4 drill.
It's a beast. Probably my number 1 used power tool at work especially for underhood shit and small tiddly bit kind of crap. I have a 1/2" cordless impact, not milwaukee, and thats about where the line is drawn for electric vs air for me. They are too heavy once you move into heavy duty territory. I work with my hands over my head all day and a big cordless impact kills me. I plan on getting one of their 1/4" fuel impacts though, maybe m18, haven't decided yet. |

I did burn up a 18v fuel drill the other day at work. |

Right there with you, doing foundation repair and floor leveling, you toss tools around in the dirt, mud, sand a lot. I can't recall any DeWalt tools failing. We never used Milwaukee tools so I have no first hand experience there. |

How well do the chucks on the fuel drills hold onto bits. I've had cordless dewalts that you couldn't tighten hard enough to retain the bit on a tough drill job and the chuck is keyless so you can't reef it down.
Need to be able to put some stank on them for drilling out hardened exhaust studs and bolts. |

All three of these drills do it |
