MILWAUKEE M18 FUEL SDS PLUS ROTARY HAMMERS OUTPERFORM THE BIG BOYS’ CORDED MODELS
As we watch the M18 Fuel lineup expand, the Milwaukee M18 Fuel SDS Plus Rotary Hammers are something to be excited about. One thing I love about Milwaukee’s innovation in the cordless market is that they tell their engineers and product managers to make the best tools on the market. Not just the best cordless tools, but the best tools period. And here we go with another M18 Fuel product that outperforms corded models.
We got the chance to see and use the Milwaukee M18 Fuel SDS Plus Rotary Hammer while were up in Wisconsin for the New Product Symposium, so we know that the the claims are true… and we have the video to prove it!
With three distinct categories in the SDS Plus Rotary Hammer class (compact, medium, and large) and the industry looking for cordless solutions, Milwaukee has developed a system that runs on a single battery platform.
According to Andrew Plowman, Director of Product Management for Milwaukee Tool, “Users don’t want to manage multiple battery platforms, it’s a productivity killer. By utilizing proprietary M18 and M18 FUEL™ technologies, we’ve developed a single battery system solution that meets the full range of user needs in each distinct SDS Plus rotary hammer market segment. Our full solution now includes a lightweight M18 5/8” for the compact segment, a M18 7/8” and M18 FUEL 1” for the medium segment which makes up the majority of the market, and an M18 FUEL 1-1/8” for the most demanding applications in the large segment.”
The Milwaukee M18 Fuel SDS Plus Rotary Hammers are going to make some people think that they have an unfair advantage in the engineering department! Well played, Milwaukee, well played.
