The M18 FUEL™ 1-1/2 in. magnetic drill drills faster than the number one corded competitor, delivers the strongest magnetic hold on 1/4 in. steel providing a safer drilling environment in this material, and drills over (66) 13/16 in. holes per charge. By utilizing permanent magnets, the magnetic base operates without electricity; ensuring that the magnet does Nt deactivate if the battery is drained. Equipped with AutoStop™ lift-off detection, power to the motor is automatically cut if excess rotational motion is detected while drilling. Powered by a MILWAUKEE® POWERSTATE™ brushless motor, both drills are faster than their corded counterparts, and deliver the same 1-1/2 in. annular cutter capacity. REDLINK PLUS™ intelligence is the most advanced electronic system on the market, preventing damage to the tool and battery caused by overloading or overheating. The M18™ REDLITHIUM™ HIGH OUTPUT™ XC8.0 battery pack provides 50% more power and runs 50% cooler vs REDLITHIUM™ XC batteries. It maintains full power and runs substantially cooler through heavy applications, allowing users to push their cordless tools harder and longer than ever before. The M18™ REDLITHIUM™ HIGH OUTPUT™ XC8.0 battery is fully compatible with 200+ M18™ tools.
