Product Description – Milwaukee 2551-20 M12 FUEL SURGE™ Hydraulic Impact Driver
The Milwaukee 2551-20 M12 FUEL SURGE™ is a 12-volt cordless 1/4" hex hydraulic impact driver designed for professional fastening applications requiring quiet operation, smooth driving, and compact size. It uses Milwaukee’s FLUID-DRIVE™ hydraulic powertrain, delivering significantly less noise and vibration than traditional impact drivers while maintaining strong fastening performance.
Powered by a POWERSTATE™ brushless motor, the driver provides up to 0–3,200 RPM for fast screw driving and consistent power under load. The hydraulic system produces longer sustained torque, allowing it to complete common fastening tasks efficiently even with lower peak torque than conventional impacts.
Its compact and lightweight design improves access in tight spaces, making it ideal for professionals in electrical, cabinetry, HVAC, and general construction. Built-in REDLINK PLUS™ electronics protect the tool and battery from overload, overheating, and over-discharge.
