Compact, Hydraulic Driver

Description

Milwaukee Tool continues to revolutionize the tool industry with the introduction of the new M12 FUEL SURGE ¼” Hex Hydraulic Driver. As the first 12V subcompact hydraulic driver in the market, the SURGE uses a technology called FLUID-DRIVE Hydraulic Powertrain* which delivers 2X less noise and vibration and maintains peak torque longer than standard impact drivers.

 

The new M12 FUEL SURGE operates up to 2X quieter than standard impacts, which not only makes it an excellent option for quieter work environments such as maintenance in an occupied building or service work, but it also provides inherent hearing benefits.

 

Being the only subcompact hydraulic driver in the market, the compact design offers users a new solution for working in tight spaces. Its smaller size allow for it to be easily transported on a tool belt or in a backpack and allows the best access in confined workspaces.

 

With up to 2X less vibration, the smoother performance of SURGE provides more control and creates less fatigue and strain on the user. The exclusive FLUID-DRIVE Hydraulic Powertrain design essentially replaces the traditional hammer and anvil mechanism found in standard impacts with a hydraulic mechanism that generates the power necessary to create torque. Because there’s no metal-on-metal contact, the net result is smoother performance, with a decrease in noise and vibration, as well as longer sustained torque.

 

With faster driving speeds than standard impacts in certain applications, and 450 in/lbs of sustained torque, the new tool delivers unmatched performance.

Quieter, yes. More punch, NO.

And by now (March 2020), it is not the only one of its kind. Makita has also produced its version, and many others will follow. Unless a comparative, practical test is done, this information is little more than a paid advertisement. Any useful info should include a better description of the technology, and some hard data, like graphs to compare this to well established mechanical hammer drivers. Amclaussen.
