Get Both Power and Precision at the Touch of a Fastener
Brookfield, WI – April 1, 2025 – Milwaukee Tool once again disrupts the power tool industry with its latest innovation, the M18 AI Triggerless Drill. This groundbreaking new tool leverages contact-activation technology powered by artificial intelligence, eliminating the need for a traditional trigger and optimizing performance for unprecedented ease and accuracy. It automatically applies speed and torque under any application.
Innovative Features Meet Robust Specifications
Building upon the robust foundation of the Milwaukee 2906-20, the M18 AI Triggerless Drill boasts impressive specifications tailored for high performance and durability:
- Torque: Delivers up to 1525 in-lbs of torque, automatically adjusted by AI for precise control.
- Speed: Features a two-speed gearbox with 0-550/0-2,100 RPM, intelligently managed to adapt to task requirements.
- Chuck: Equipped with a robust 1/2″ all-metal ratcheting chuck for superior bit grip.
- Onboard Intelligence: REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence ensures maximum performance and protects the tool against overloads, overheating, and over-discharge.
- Contact-Driven Operation: Smart, Safe, and Efficient
The M18 AI Triggerless Drill introduces a new era of drilling by activating upon contact with any fastener or material. This AI-enhanced approach not only drives screws and bolts but also automatically stops when optimal fastening is achieved or the drill bit breaks through the material. This is all thanks to its intelligent torque management. This ensures each job is done right the first time, with no room for error or material damage.
Introducing Milwaukee M18 AI
Milwaukee M18 AI brings a whole new level of automation and comfort to the jobsite. Previously, you had to choose the correct gear or mode, feather the trigger, and often switch gears to complete a more difficult task. Now, with the help of AI, Milwaukee Tool has taken the driver’s seat, so you only have to worry about placing the tool on the fastener or the drill bit on the material.
“With the M18 AI Triggerless Drill, we’ve taken the best features of the Milwaukee 2906-20 and elevated them with AI technology to offer a tool that knows what the user needs, even before they do,” said Feyn Humint, Director of Product Development at Milwaukee Tool. “This tool is not only about power and performance but also about making the user’s job easier and more efficient.”
The Ideal Tool for Beginners and Pros
While it may sound like something out of a science fiction novel, the technology behind Milwaukee’s M18 AI Triggerless Drill is very real and ready to change the game for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike. For fastening jobs, the tool automatically detects tension between the bit and the screw to know whether to ramp up speed slowly or apply full torque. This lets you use the drill for tasks ranging from installing drywall screws to fastening large lags or screws to secure the ledger board of a deck.
In drilling applications, the AI instantly informs the drill whether it needs to activate high speed immediately for applications like using a hole saw or drilling into metal. Conversely, it will also ease into a job as when taking care not to burn hardwoods or when maximum torque is required.
Pricing and Availability
Set for release on April 1, 2025, the M18 AI Triggerless Drill retails for just $249 as a bare tool and will be available as a kit for $349 with a Milwaukee Forge 6.0 battery. will be available through select Milwaukee Tool distributors.
