It's hard to say, but i would like to see one. I think one problem is, brushless motors have more size to them. So they might have to figure out how to deal with that first.

good point with the motor size i guess i can only hope. waiting to pick up the 1/4" ratchet hopefully something awsome will happen in a few months

I was wondering the same. Just got both the 1/4" and the 3/8" with those free deals, otherwise I would have waited to see.

I'm also holding off on a multi-tool, to see if they Fuel-ify that soon, or I'll have to go yellow.

Got a picture today. Lost my little M12 fuel 3/8 impact or it "grew legs". Went a week without it and got a new one today. My most used off all of them I'd say. The two speed fuel driver is new too.

Well I did some work for a friend for free (framed up a bunch of cabinets for his business) after having to basically beg for him to not pay me.

We ended up talking about my Milwaukee cordless tools that I used for the job, and it came up that they had introduced a new line (the FUEL stuff) that was better than what I had. Showed up to the house a couple days back and he'd dropped off shiny new M12 Fuel and M18 Fuel impacts.

Anyone need a minty M12 of M18 regular hex impact?:D

i'll throw my hat in the ring. Im a big fan of Milwaukee tools from back when they truly were heavy duty. But I do have the m18 fuel impact driver and hammer drill and am having good results. Other than the cordless, everything is made in USA!

I've been thinking about it for a while, but after working on a deck project all weekend with my old Bosch 18 volt brushed tools, I pulled the trigger on the 2797 Fuel hammer drill and impact kit. :)

Went with the reconditioned set from CPO, I'm pretty excited. :D

Just got the M12 power thing today. Use an M12 battery in it and charge phone, etc. Also has a DC power jack. I can always find USB cables but can never find the 12v or wall ends of them, plus a wall charger isn't always an option. Should come in handy once and awhile. Especially on trips where a charger isnt available or convienient. Like a plane. I actually looked up the TSA guidelines. There is no limit on batteries under 8 grams of ELC (Equivelant Lithium Content). The M12 2.0 has 1.8g, M12 4.0 has 3.6g. The extra's you carry just have to be protected from accidental activation. Although I will say that its more of cheap option to utilize batteries I already have. If you were needing something on a regular basis just for a phone or something I wouldn't run out an buy an M12 battery and this thing, far more compact solutions to that problem.

My impact driver and drill arrived today. They look pretty good, a few scuffs and scratches but that would happen anyway.

Used the impact driver with a 1/2" adapter to take the tires off my horse trailer, broke the adapter. It was a Milwaukee adapter that I've used for a long time on my little Makita impact driver, kind of surprised it broke. Either way, pretty impressed with my first Fuel tools.

Oops, sorry for the slow reply. I got the M18CAG115X which is the European equivalent of the 2781. Here's my Milwaukee collection below:

The grinder is pretty dusty from cutting some paving slabs. As well as the grinder, I have:
M18 Fuel Sawzall
M18 Fuel impact driver
M18 Fuel 3/4" impact wrench
M12 Fuel 3/8" impact wrench
M12 brushed screwdriver

They are all UK models except for the sawzall and the M18 impact driver. I am going to sell the brushed screwdriver as I will probably buy a M12 Fuel drill/driver kit.

Love this thing, put an entire duramax together bare block to accessories and all using it to run in 90% of the fasteners. Still had 2 bars left worth of battery on the little 2.0ah battery. Handy and fast. beats the snot out of the snappy one I had.

Whoa, black cases are neat!

Also, the DC power jack is nice, I don't know what the max amperage is on it but I fried mine plugging in a heated motorcycle jacket. :) Stick to the wussy consumer grade heated jackets.

My collection. Love the M12 3/8 rachet and the drill driver is perfect for hanging stuff in the house. The Fuel 3/8 has been so awesome its crazy. Just picked up the 1/2 and actually sold my MG725 as I have such high hopes. Have Makita 18v drill/hammer/driver and a 1/4 impact driver that have never let me down, tho some day Ill replace them with Fuel.
