@@georged1085 I LOVE the M12 impact! It’s so dang light and compact, it’s not even close to any 18V alternative. Its speed and power does not leave you wanting assuming you’re not driving massive lags or structural screws all the time. I also find that I really prefer its ergonomics over the M18 fuel impact. Holding it in awkward positions it’s just easier and more comfortable to use. Biggest downside is its length. The M18 fuel and Dewalt DCF850 are both notably shorter but it’s almost never an issue. Don’t like using it for spade bits because impacts throw wood chips everywhere. So I still use the M12 drill for up to 2” hole saws, 1-1/2 spade bits.

I have been using this hoss for the last few months. It's a spectacular tool. You're right that it gets toasty at high duty cycle / high load jobs. Also I had no idea Milwaukee makes an M12 rotary hammer. 😍

It’s a great little guy for sure! Yeah their rotary hammer is pretty nice and compact. Good for tight spaces and portable. A lot slower than my 18V 1-1/8” rotary hammer but still miles ahead of a hammer drill

Testing should including popular holesaw cutting locks for doors with wood material equivalent to the real thick wooden or metal door. That's where toys and pro duty tools reveal its quality.

I have these for the house man, or doing residential work on the side, these m12 tools are strong a.f. im an industrial electrician and use the m18 line in the field, but from experience doing residential jobs these will handle most anything you put them through in a house.

Looks like the fpd0 is advertised as slightly less peak torque at 390in-lbs with a boost in speed at 1700rpms in speed 2. My guess is the higher speed is nice but you end up using speed 1 more often because it likely has notably less torque in speed 2. They’re not readily accessible in the US so I wouldn’t get my hands on it unless someone sent it to me

To answer your question, yes the hammer drill and impact is a great place to start and highly recommended. However, you already have M18 tool or other 18V battery powered tools? I ask because I usually recommend going the 18V route as a home owner because you may end up wanting a leaf blower, hedge trimmer, chainsaw, etc that are best on the 18V tools.

I get both. I have multiple charges that charge m18 and m12. I grab m12 for high over head work or tight spaces like a crawl space or in/under a vehicle. Or long continuous work for the light weight. I have m18 when I really need power. I have the m18 hammer drill and m12 hammer drill. M18 has more power but sucks hanging ceiling drywall for hours on end. Your shoulder is shot. The m12 keeps your shoulder in the game longer. Any saws, multi tool or heavier stuff. Always go M18. I only buy Milwaukee Fuel also. It cost more but worth it to me.
