MILWAUKEE® Advances Rotary Hammer Solutions with the Second Generation M18 FUEL™ 4-Mode 26 mm SDS-Plus Hammer

The second generation M18 FUEL^™ 4-Mode SDS-Plus Hammer is the fastest drilling hammer in its class that hits harder and drills over 40% faster than its previous generation. Furthermore, the hammer is availale in different versions witH/ without FIXTEC^™, as well as With/ without ONE-KEY^™* which allows users track and manage the tool through the ONE-KEY^™ app.

“For years, the market was dominated by corded rotary hammers. Then, in 2014, with the power of M18 FUEL^™ technology**, Milwaukee Tool introduced a new rotary hammer that provided the performance of a corded hammer on our 18 V Platform,” said Thorsten Orlik, Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “This year we are continuing to push the boundaries with the second generation of the M18 FUEL^™ 4-Mode SDS-Plus Hammer – the fastest drilling rotary hammer in its class and even utilise the additional power of our HIGH OUTPUT™ 18.0 Volt plattform.”

True to all M18 FUEL^™ solutions, the new M18 FUEL^™ 4-Mode SDS-Plus Hammer combines three exclusive innovations – the POWERSTATE^™ brushless motor, REDLITHIUM^™ battery pack, and REDLINK PLUS^™ intelligence.

The POWERSTATE^™ brushless motor delivers 2.5 J of impact energy, 1,330 RPM, and 4,800 BPM to provide speed and power in the most demanding jobsite applications. When paired with a M18^™ HIGH OUTPUT^™ 5.5 Ah battery pack, the hammer can drill up to (125) Ø10 mm  x 50 mm holes per charge. REDLINK PLUS^™ intelligence ensures maximum rotary hammer performance and protects from overload, overheating, and over discharge. To enhance safety, this second-generation hammer delivers maximum control with AUTOSTOP^™ kickback control to prevent over-rotation in case the tool binds up when drilling into rebar or hard aggregate. Additionally, an AVS anti-vibration system minimises vibration for maximum comfort.

The 26 mm SDS-Plus hammer range is compatible with M18 FDDEXL or M18 FCDDEXL dust extractors.

The second-generation Dedicated Dust Extraction for M18 FUEL^™ 26 mm SDS-Plus Hammers (M18 FDDEXL) features an AUTOPULSE^™ filter cleaning system and is the only onboard dedicated dust extractor solution with an automatic filter cleaner for drilling up to 26 mm in diameter and 200 mm in depth, a much wider range than the previous generation. This is the only dedicated dust extractor on the market with an integrated solution that allows users to empty the dust box by attaching a vacuum for dust removal instead of dumping it out, limiting users’ overall exposure to silica.

The Compact Dedicated Dust Extraction for M18 FUEL^™ 26 mm SDS-Plus Hammers (M18 FCDDEXL) comes with a manual filter cleaning mechanism, that increases the air flow efficiency as well as the filter life time. Same as the extractor above, it is to be used for drilling up to 26 mm in diameter and 200 mm in depth.

Milwaukee Tool is committed to improving productivity by providing performance-driven and trade-focused solutions so users can perform an entire day’s work on one battery system. The new M18 FUEL^™ 4-Mode SDS-Plus Hammer is fully compatible with the entire M18^™ line, now offering more than 215 power tool solutions.

*ONE-KEY^™ is the first digital platform for tools and equipment. By integrating industry-leading tool electronics with a custom-built cloud-based program, ONE-KEY^™ provides a new level of control and access to information that revolutionises the way work gets done. The ability to customise, track, and manage through ONE-KEY^™ fundamentally changes the way users interact with their tools.

**M18 FUEL^™ is engineered for the most demanding tradesmen in the world. Delivering outstanding performance, all M18 FUEL^™ products feature three MILWAUKEE^®-exclusive innovations—The POWERSTATE^™ brushless motor, REDLITHIUM^™ battery pack and REDLINK PLUS^™ intelligence hardware and software—that deliver outstanding power, run time and durability on the jobsite. Simply put, M18 FUEL^™ tools are the most powerful 18V cordless tools in their class.
