The Milwaukee M12 BD is a compact 12V drill driver with a 1/4" hex holder, a 2-speed 38Nm tool reaching 1,500rpm, at 0.8kg bare. It is sold as a kit with two 2.0Ah packs, a charger and a case, and drills 20mm in wood and 10mm in steel. We rate it a handy light driver for installers on M12; for a 13mm chuck and a brushless FUEL motor, the M12 FDD2 is the step up at 45Nm.
