MILWAUKEE, WI- Milwaukee Tool is redefining the cordless SDS Plus rotary hammer market once again with the introduction of the next generation of cordless rotary hammers delivering ultimate jobsite performance and productivity. The second generation M18 FUEL™ 1” SDS Plus Rotary Hammer is the fastest drilling hammer in its class that hits harder and drills over 40% faster than its previous generation. Available later this year will be a version with 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 introduced a new rotary hammer that provided the performance of a corded hammer on our M18™ Platform,” said AJ Johnson, Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “This year we are continuing to push the boundaries with the second generation of the M18 FUEL™ 1” SDS Rotary Hammer – the fastest drilling rotary hammer in its class.”

True to all M18 FUEL™ solutions, the new M18 FUEL™ 1” SDS Plus Rotary Hammer combines three exclusive innovations – the POWERSTATE™ brushless motor, REDLITHIUM™ battery pack, and REDLINK PLUS™ intelligence.

The POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor delivers 2 ft-lbs. 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™ XC6.0 Battery Pack, the hammer can drill up to (125) 3/8” x 2” 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 minimizes vibration for maximum comfort. The second-generation M18 FUEL™ HAMMERVAC™ SDS Plus Dedicated Dust Extractor features an AUTOPULSE™ filter cleaning system and is the only onboard dedicated dust extractor solution with an automatic filter cleaner to deliver OSHA® Table 1 Compliance*** for drilling up to 1” in diameter and 6” 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.

Milwaukee 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™ 1” SDS Plus Rotary Hammer is fully compatible with the entire M18™ line, now offering more than 200 power tool solutions.
