Description
Built around Milwaukee's M18 FUEL platform, this twin pack pairs the two most-used tools on any job: a percussion drill and a 1/4″ hex impact driver. Both run POWERSTATE brushless motors with REDLINK PLUS electronic intelligence, delivering the power, run time and durability that have made the M18 combo kit a first choice across the trades. The Milwaukee Power Pack is a complete ready-to-work kit straight out of the box.
Alongside the two tools, this cordless drill and impact driver set includes two M18 B5 5.0 Ah REDLITHIUM batteries, an M12-18 FC fast charger and a heavy-duty HD Box carry case. With one battery on the tool and one on charge, downtime is kept to a minimum, and both tools accept any battery in the M18 range, making the kit an ideal entry point into the wider Milwaukee M18 system.
M18 FUEL Percussion Drill
The M18 FPD3 is the drilling workhorse of this Milwaukee twin pack, combining 158 Nm of torque with a compact 175mm body that reaches comfortably into tight spaces, between joists and inside cabinets. Its POWERSTATE brushless motor holds speed under load, making it one of the fastest drilling and driving tools in its class, with two gears offering 0 to 500 rpm for controlled, high-torque work and 0 to 2,100 rpm for rapid drilling.
As a percussion drill, it moves easily between materials. In hammer mode it delivers up to 33,000 blows per minute for drilling into brick, block and masonry at capacities up to 16mm, while in rotary mode it handles steel up to 16mm and timber at much larger diameters using flat, auger or self-feed bits. The 13mm all-metal chuck grips bits securely for quick changes and reliable retention under load.
Operator safety is built in through Milwaukee's AUTOSTOP control mode, which detects over-rotation in a bind-up and shuts the tool down before it can wrench the user's wrist. A bright LED lights the work area, an on-tool fuel gauge shows remaining charge at a glance, and an all-metal reversible belt clip keeps the drill to hand between tasks. Individual battery cell monitoring optimises run time and protects the battery pack over the long term.
M18 FUEL 1/4" Hex Impact Driver
The M18 FID3 handles the fastening side of the kit, producing 226 Nm of torque from a body just 113mm long, short enough to drive screws in stud walls, joist bays and other confined spots where a drill will not fit. Driving speeds reach 3,900 rpm with an impact rate of up to 4,400 ipm, so long screws, coach bolts and fixings into dense materials go in quickly and cleanly.
Four DRIVE CONTROL modes let the user match output to the task. Mode 1 is set for precision work, Mode 2 tempers power to prevent damage to fasteners and delicate materials, Mode 3 unlocks maximum performance for the toughest applications, and Mode 4 automatically adjusts speed, impacts and torque to balance precision with outright power. The 1/4″ hex chuck accepts standard impact-rated bits with quick one-handed changes.
Like the drill, it runs a POWERSTATE brushless motor with REDLINK PLUS intelligence, and individual battery cell monitoring keeps run time optimised across the working day. At 1.7 kg with the 5.0 Ah battery fitted, it stays comfortable through repetitive fastening work.
M18 5.0 Ah Battery
Two M18 B5 REDLITHIUM 5.0 Ah batteries are included, enough capacity to keep both tools working through demanding days with one pack always ready on charge. Compared with earlier Milwaukee battery technology and other lithium-ion designs, the B5 delivers up to 2.5x more run time, up to 20% more power and up to 2x more battery life, with results depending on tool and application.
Durability is a core part of the design. A metal frame construction with shock-responsive separators protects the cells from vibration and drops, while integrated water protection routes moisture away from the electronics and out of the pack. The batteries continue to perform in extreme cold down to -20°C without compromising run time, making them dependable on unheated sites through winter.
REDLINK digital overload protection prevents damage in abusive situations, and individual cell monitoring balances charge and discharge across the pack for maximum service life. An on-board fuel gauge shows remaining charge at the press of a button, and both packs are fully compatible with every tool in the M18 range.
M12 - M18 Fast Charger
The M12-18 FC fast charger keeps the kit working with minimal downtime, recharging the included 5.0 Ah batteries in 59 minutes or less. It carries two ports, one M12 and one M18, and charges sequentially on a first in, first to charge basis, so two packs can be loaded and left without any need to swap them over manually.
Compatibility extends across all M18, M14 and M12 REDLITHIUM battery packs, which makes the charger a practical hub for users already running other Milwaukee cordless tools. M12 packs from 2.0 Ah to 6.0 Ah recharge in 26 to 95 minutes, while M18 packs from 2.0 Ah to 5.0 Ah complete in 26 to 59 minutes. The unit is mains powered and wall mountable, keeping it off the bench in the van or workshop.
