OEM bit holder from Milwaukee is part # 49-16-3697 and for those interested in getting the matching boot for the gen3 impact driver as well, that part # is 49-16-3453. Put the boot on first and then the bit holder.

I just got my m12 surge today and I compared it to my coworkers m18 impact driver and the difference in noice is INSANE! You just gotta trust me on this one. I initially though the bit was slipping in the screw because there was so little tactile and audible feedback.. I'm just saying the sound difference is just MASSIVE..

Gen 3 m12 seems to have changed the ergonomics ever so slightly. Take a look at where the web between your thumb and index finger goes. It’s angled differently. I noticed this between the gen 2 and gen 3 impact drivers. I also kept bumping into the forward/reverse button on the gen 3, and never really noticed that on the gen 2

I agree. The surge makes the regular impact feel like it’s working too hard

I’ve used both, the regular one does have noticeably more power, but the surge is quiet enough that I ignore that unless I need the extra power. Watch out for your hearing, Kings.

I'm wondering how the M12 Surge compares to say the M12 3/8" stubby with a 1/4" bit adapter. I bet Milwaukee will update the Surge to 500-550 in-lbs. The Ridgid Stealth does 650, so the M18 Surge Gen 2 might have at least that much. Just a guess. Great vid! M12 Surge now on my list.

that would be interesting to see, though in my mind they occupy different situations. Impact driver for screws, impact wrench for bolts. I would love a new generation of surge, would hope to see the tri-LED at least.

I’m not sure what happened here but I’ve gone through three M12 surges. The first one the collar broke off and I couldn’t find it and so I took it to Home Depot and they just gave me a new one. It would’ve been an easy fix though the second one got stolen and so I had to pick up a third one. I had the second generation impact M 12 and I just picked up the third generation a few months ago, and the surge is absolutely positively nowhere near as powerful as either of those generations. You can find 1 million KZitem videos about the M 12 surge versus the regular M 12 in every situation the M 12 annihilate the surge. I mean it’s not even close. Unless I had three defective surge M 12 drills, this video is not accurate at all. All I do is construction work, and the M 12 surge is under powered and heavy although it does have its uses I have the M18 surge. And with the small 2.0 battery it is not that much heavier than the M 12 surge with the six amp battery. Honestly the M 12 surge is not that quiet compared to the M 18 surge. The emetine surge is much more ergonomic and lighter weight and better balance than the regular M 18 impact driver, I love the M 18 surge it handles everything. But my go to tool is the third generation M 12 impact. It is insanely powerful and lightweight and I wear headphones all day with noise canceling so the noise does not bother me at all.

I’m the opposite, I’ve went through 3 M12 impacts lol. I want to like them because they’re so light and compact, but they just haven’t offered any advantage over the surge. I keep a Kobalt XTR impact (2400 in-lbs) for anything I for some reason can’t tackle with the Surge or hammer drill. I do appreciate your response and experience. Ultimately you’re the one doing the work!
