The verdictOur take

The M18 CID was an earlier brushless impact driver at 180Nm with three modes, now discontinued and kept for old-against-new comparison. It was a capable driver in its day. We rate the current BLID2 or FUEL FID3 the better buys today; the CID is only relevant as a used option for existing M18 owners.
