I actually bought two two packs of these Milwaukee batteries. Couldn't be happier with the experience. Can use these on my drill and impact drill for a couple of days during heavy use before I have to actually stop and charge them.

With ONE-KEY, users now have a tool that delivers the most repeatable torque output in the industry. Users looking for a targeted torque range now have solution that will get users close to their targeted torque value, reducing the likelihood of significant under or over torque.

Integrated Tool Tracking, also available through ONE-KEY, provides full visibility to how and where tools are being used across your network of jobs and users. The app will track all ONE-KEY compatible devices within 100 ft range of your phone. By building the functionality into the tool, not the battery, all devices are trackable even if the battery is not charged or on the tool. The app will automatically keep records of the last time a tool was within range of the app, allowing you to pinpoint missing tools quicker and increase accountability of your crew. If you’re having trouble locating a lost tool, expand your search with the help of anybody with the ONE-KEY app. By opting in, when any phone with the app comes within 100 ft of your tool, you will receive an updated location. Paired with tracking, Integrated Tool Security provides the ultimate theft protection. Protect your investment with features like tool lock-out, or hide tool from the nearby devices screen so only you can see your tool is in range. If your tool is lost or stolen, render it useless by sending a remote command to the tool to shut itself off the next time it comes within range of any ONE-KEY app.

I work as a mechanical engineer and use one of these almost every single day. They pack a serious punch for their size (stated 300Nm but I have never tested it) and are very good on battery life. A single 5ah battery will easily put in 750 M10x25 bolts without slowing down. Compact, lightweight, high torque for the size, will take in the field abuse and will work harder and longer than you can.

I bought these a year ago for a house renovation and I use them almost daily for furniture making and craft work. They have never let me down. Their diminutive size was a worry when I first saw them - like they wouldn't be up to the task - but they have all the power you'll ever need

I've got a lot of Milwaukee M18 and M12 power tools, and have just as many batteries. Having a single charger that can simultaneously rapid charge both 12 and 18 volt batteries (up to 3 simultaneously) using only a single electrical outlet plug is awesome.

Milwaukee equipment just keeps getting better. This is my third Milwaukee 18v drill over the past 25 years. The first two were brilliant, brushless is just another level. Although more light weight and compact than the previous versions, this one is super powerful. Never thought that I would feel this much power from a cordless tool. Great ergonomics too, well positioned led for work in cabinets. I think that you can tell that I love this drill!

Sometimes a regular hammer drill just does not get the job done, regardless of the volts it has; and I’m definitely not knocking on the M12 nor M18 hammer drills. When that happened to me, I when ahead with purchasing the next level up M12 SDS-Plus Rotary hammer! NOW this gets the job done, tons of power turning and chipping at concrete, smooth, not as much vibration as I thought it would have!
