very powerful little combo. im usually a ridgid guy but tried this out and the milwaukee stuff is definitely nice. it could run circles around my normal ridgid stuff

Milwaukee shaved quite a bit off the length of the 2504-20 hammer drill compared to the 2404-20. We measured 6-9/16″ down from 7-3/4″. That’s a 1-3/16″ reduction in length! The way they did it was to redesign the brushless motor assembly so they could inline the mode switch and clutch into the twist ring. They also moved the cooling fins to the very rear of the driver. All of this works together to save space. For weight, Milwaukee dropped 2.4 ounces. That may not sound like much, but it matters over the long haul, particularly if you’re working above eye level or doing repetitive tasks.
Updated Milwaukee M12 FUEL Impact Driver vs 2453-20
Looking at the nose of the new Milwaukee 2553-20 impact driver, you can see how the impact mechanism and chuck are set further back towards the brushless motor. The fact that Milwaukee did this while increasing torque by 100 inch-pounds testifies to the apparent soundness of the design. The 0.9” reduction in length also makes for a much smaller footprint on the new FUEL impact driver. Since Milwaukee re-centered the mass, it still feels quite comfortable in the hand.
While the space-savings on the Milwaukee 2553-20 impact driver is significant, Milwaukee didn’t stop there. They also added a 4-mode drive control which offers a bit more flexibility in speed and torque control. In addition to having three speeds, the Milwaukee 2553-20 impact driver also adds a Self-Tapping Screw Mode. In this mode, the tool will drive at full RPM until the impact mechanism is engaged. Then the tool slows down the RPMs to allow for better control as you drive the screw the rest of the way in. It’s designed for fastening metal so you don’t sheer the head off by driving too fast.
Milwaukee opted to keep the same raked angle on both their M12 FUEL impact driver and brushless FUEL hammer drill. That means your grip won’t change, and the balance—which we already felt was good—remained excellent. The new M12 tools ship with either one or both Milwaukee RedLithium 2.0 or RedLithium 4.0 XC battery packs.
Build Quality
The build quality of these new tools is excellent as far as we can tell. Within the stator on the Milwaukee 2553-20 and new 2504-20 hammer drill, for example, you can find a large 7-point star-driveshaft which moves the gear assembly. All of the PCBAs (printed circuit board assemblies) are securely nestled into the glass-reinforced nylon body. That includes the main board and selector switch assembly. Having experienced more than one assembly line where products like this are made, the wiring assemblies and “trap” locations seemed intelligently-placed to keep them from moving parts. The tool seems like it can take some drops and keep running. The housing cover alone uses seven 16mm T-10 Torx screws.
Milwaukee M12 FUEL Impact Driver and Drill Specs Compared
To give you a quick side-by-side on specs, here are the differences between the new tools:
2404-20 2504-20 2453-20 2553-20
Torque 350 in-lbs 350 in-lbs 1,200 in-lbs 1,300 in-lbs
Speed (Low) 0-450 0-450 0-1,200 0-1,300
Speed (Med) – – – – – – 0-2,400
Speed (High) 0-1,700 0-1,700 0-2,650 0-3,300
BPM/IPM (Max) 25,500 25,500 3,550 4,000
Length 7-3/4 in. 6-9/16 in. 6 in. 5.1 in.
Weight (no battery) 2 lbs 8 oz 2 lbs 5.6 oz 1 lb 14 oz 1 lb 12 oz
What About the Milwaukee 2503-20 M12 FUEL Drill? Interestingly, the Milwaukee 2503-20 drill comes with the exact same specs and size as the 2504-20 hammer drill—just without the hammer function. Since the mode switch integrates into the clutch mechanism, you don’t shave any more length off the tool.
Milwaukee M12 FUEL Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Performance
Performance matters. Carrying around 12V tools as your “everyday carry” only works of those same tools can get the job done. These can. We put both M12 hammer drills into our torque testers and measured the following:
Milwaukee 2504-20 Max “hard stop” torque: 27.1 ft-lbs (325.2 in-lbs)
Milwaukee 2404-20 Max “hard stop” torque: 26.0 ft-lbs (312.0 in-lbs)
While our numbers didn’t perfectly match those of Milwaukee, the fact is—we’ve got a different setup than they do. It’s also in flux as we build a more permanent and robust testing apparatus. Needless to say, both drills are within 4% of each other and within 7% of the manufacturer’s claims. Our next test told us a bit more.

It was $200 for the set with a bag.
For most construction applications the M12s are just lighter. Easy to have one battery charge as you use another. M12 probably not enough for auto mechanics or construction framers .

The media could not be loaded.
Got this set and was very pleased – impact driver worked well for my needs. But a month later when I needed to charge the battery, I found that NEITHER of them could charge.
I tried charging the big battery first. Lights flashing indicated that it wasn’t able to charge.
Then I took the small battery (never used, still wrapped in plastic) to test it. Again, it still couldn’t charge.
The instruction manual says the battery is either “too hot or too cold,” which is why it’s not charging. But the battery is stored in a cool, dark place — and I live in Singapore, which is a tropical country with an average temperature of 32 degrees Celsius in the daytime. It’s hard to believe that a brand new battery that’s just been taken out of its plastic could be overheated.
Unfortunately, I only discovered that the batteries couldn’t be charged after Amazon closed the return window.
Waste of my $200+ if I can’t use the set for more than a month due to faulty batteries.

Great kit, great tools, great price.
After some research I chose the M12 fuel as the best cordless power tools for my needs.
After using the tools for over a week, I can say that both tools have more then enough power for all odd jobs around the hose, and even for the more demanding jobs. all that in a compact and well priced package.
The bag in which the tools come in is very durable and practical.
One negative aspect of the drill is that it is a bit off axis, noting too bad, considering the price point .The other disadvantage I found using the tools is that the base of the trigger can become a pressure point.
Delivered to Israel in 7 days.Note that the price dose not include Israeli tax, customs and handling fees, which stack up to additional 283 NIS.
I modified the charger to work on 220 V ac after watching a video on youtube. nothing to complicated. So far it works just fine.
I am over the roof from this order!!
I defiantly recommend the deal!!
Muy buen guante listo para jugar –
A powerful and great product , the feel is magnificent so different from any other power tools I used before.

Tengo un año con los taladros y muy buenos para todo trabajo
Daniel Hosier –
We have over a dozen of these sets throughout our company and they last forever with professional use. The batteries are ok but some do fail over time and don’t like the cold
Emily –
The impact driver can take lugnuts off of a car easily. The drill has great power. They’re both very reliable and compact.

I am a cabinet maker for the last 35 years and my tools make me cash and I expect them to last many years especially at todays cost. Now this little impact driver is the bees knees for my shop. Mode 1 is perfect for those real tiny screws and hinges that you need a delicate touch and not strip out, mode 2 is good for driving those screws putting boxes together and mode 3 “when needed” will get the job done driving into those ancient historic timbers. Small and compact works great in those tight places.
Now the drill I would not purchase again but I am sure it has its place. Honestly it just doesnt have the moxey to really do the job on concrete. Works great to drill in wood but I could do with out the hammer feature for that. This drill is just so so at drilling anything over a 2 in hole saw, it will choke up then again its not going to rip your wrist off. Not a bad product but if your doing concrete or bigger hole saws just get the M18 and stop playing around, just be prepared to hold on.
Now the bag is a different story, it is beautiful, awesome embroidery unfortunately the zipper is junk and failed not a month in careful usage. Honestly for the cost of the products these should come with a PACKOUT ready hard case IMHO. I still have the original 18V milwaukee ever made and its starting to smoke so I guess that will be my next purchase.

For the price these little things are awesome. Small and compact yet powerful enough to tackle most at home jobs.
Steven Gomez –
Los uso para mi trabajo de carpintero y tienen la potencia sobrada. El taladro/rotomartillo lo probé en madera solida de pino con broca-cierra de 2⅛ y sin problemas, el taladro percutor me parece que no tiene mucha fuerza quizá solo sea para perforar en paredes de tabique con maximo ⅜ en concreto duro note que le cuesta perforar con broca ¼. El atornillador de impacto sorprende por el torque que tiene y su tamaño compacto, no suelo usar tornillos de más de 3″ del no.10 y logra meterlos sin rechistar.
En resumen la potencia correcta para lo que los necesitaba, si te dedicas a la albañilería o plomería y tiene que abusar todo el día de un rotomartillo definitivamente buscaría otras opciones de más potencia, pero para carpintería están excelentes y para uso doméstico sobrados.

He probado las herramientas eléctricas Milwaukee y funcionan perfectamente, el torque del atornillador es bueno suficiente para trabajos en donde no se requiera tanta fuerza, el taladro cumple a la perfección
