Man this is perfect, an actual video that answers the question in the tittle, short, sweet, and concise. Thank you!
Is this a joke? He barely explained anything.
I use fuel tools at work and they’re great. I bought a 10 tool brushed Milwaukee kit for the house and it has served me very well. As those brushed tools wear out I will be replacing them one at a time with brushless or fuel models, but that may take a long time since I don’t use them day in and day out.
Thanks for “brushing” us up on the differences between brushed, brushless and Fuel tools in the Milwaukee lineup. (See what I did there?) Annnyhoo….. Brushless tools are fantastic and Fuel kicks it up to 11. (Or 12, in the case of the M12 Fuel Multitool.) Love ‘em!
Started out:
- Black and Decker 18V Brushed
(and NiCad batteries)
-Moved to Kobalt 24V Brushless
(Great tools but not a very expansive selection at the time.)
-Stepped up to Milwaukee Fuel and not looking back.
Great video, Nick. Keep up the great work.
OPT is the best!
Not every DIYer is willing to spend the money on Milwaukee. If you’re a DIYer and bought Milwaukee Fuel tools, you will enjoy doing projects a lot more especially if you do the very frequently.
That's very true! For a DIYer especially, Milwaukee is an investment that one will have to look at and balance costs for. They're definitely a phenomenal tool, but the price points may not be for everyone, and that's alright too! Heck, our copywriter's dad refuses to give up on his old backpack-style gas leaf blower even though he's told him multiple times how much strain it would save on his back; some people are just comfortable with what they're comfortable with!
@@OhioPowerTool As a Lady DIYer all of my power tools are Milwaukee. The men in my life keep trying to run off with them "by accident of course". Well worth the investment.
No doubt, glad my brother (electrician) shamed me away from Ryobi. Not that there’s anything wrong with saving money with the mean green machines
@@Mr_GabblesYep, I'll spend a little more just because of everything Milwaukee has to offer. I love my m12s they do everything I need.
@@monicaalexander4648makes no difference if your a woman or not
Thanks for the video.... Just bought a brushless impact and drill set and though they seem nice i think i'll have to return it and get a set in the fuel lineup....
I've had the brushless circ saw and the fuel circ saw, I'm just a plumber so I just use it for renos around the house but I found the fuel circ saw to be waaaaaay better
I came here to find the difference between Brushed and Brushless motor and I can say that after watching this video I still have no idea what the difference is :D
The difference is that Brushed motors have these carbon brushes that transfer energy through the motor. Brushless is the same concept except it doesn't have brushes. The blog in the description is a great tool to read to learn more! Hope this helps!
Fuel For Life! my favorite impact driver of all time is the Gen Milwaukee. Thanks for the video man. Appreciate it
I use to love it but the dewalt impact performs better in my field .. I tighten a bolt with a dewalt and my Milwaukee can’t loosen it up .. it’s suck but Idewalts 1/4 impact is better
@@christopherlockridge6191 I like the 840 if I’m using dewalt. The 850 is awesome but something about the 840 has me reaching for it more
I just bought the brushess drill and bit driver combo. I had them in the past and used them for about 4 years on semi trucks. I abused tf out of both of them. The bit driver never died I just left it behind. The drill on the other hand explosed when a 1/2" drill bit snapped going through 3/8" thick aluminum because I was pushing it way too hard.
Gimme FUEL Gimme Fire...
They're the tools that I desire,
OOH
sorry

You didnt even say the difference. You just said the brushless was similar to older models.
Basically, all Milwaukee FUEL tools are Brushless, but not all of Milwaukee's Brushless tool options are in the FUEL category. FUEL tools have all the benefits of brushless motors paired with their POWERSTATE brushless motor technology, REDLITHIUM batteries, and Redlink PLUS intelligence for added power output. They're considered the best-of-the-best for Milwaukee's brushless tools in terms of torque and drive power.
Hope this helps!
Just the information I needed as I’ve bought one fuel tool, one brushless and now I’ll get another in fuel.
Think I’ll sell the brushless and get the fuel in that model.
Thanks!
2:27 All you really need from this video 🤣🤣🤣
😂
keep it simple
Is Milwaukee going to offer an adapter to plug a tool into an outlet?
The big power users like the table saw or angle grinder.
Put a wire brush on an the 6" angle grinder and it uses an amp hour a minute.
Let's hope they do one day! Fingers crossed!
Is the regular brushless line up being discontinued? At Home Depot, they have M18 18V Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 1/2 in. Compact Drill/Driver with One 2.0 Ah Battery on clearance for $89.99. And can you use the fuel batteries on the reg brushless power tools?
All M18 batteries work with Brushless M18 Tools! The brushless lineup is alive and still going strong but it does struggle with finding an audience at different times in the year. The big box stores are probably why this option even exists as they love to have different price points on every single tool, most pro suppliers like Ohio Power Tool stock and sell FUEL tools, because they are just a little more money but always have best performance possible. We think the M18 brushless are good tools and if kits go on sale for $99 at holiday than can definitely be a great deal.
I want to invest in Milwaukee but I want to buy their newest latest and greatest line up. Is that the fuel?
That depends! Milwaukee releases new tools on their M12, M18, and MX FUEL lineups pretty frequently; each have their pros and cons, so it's really up to personal preference and what you think you'll need them for throughout the day. If you're doing a lot of professional all-day labor, you may want to look into the FUEL line to get that boost in power and performance, but if you're just looking to use them around the house, you could definitely save some money and get away with an M12 lineup!
If I just want something powerful enough to easily remove my wheel lug nuts would brushless be fine? Just considering price
Go with the Milwaukee m12 3/8 stubby. I promise you, you WILL NOT regret this decision.
Thank you! This answered my question perfectly.
Glad we could help!!
thing is if buying just the skin only (without battery), im looking at 184mm (7.25") circular saw, the Fuel is nearly twice the weight as the standard brushless one, and a bit more expensive, so why get that when the standard brushless has very similar specs?
For some, it's just personal preference! I know some people that love the weight of their circular saw, but others prefer a lighter tool for ease of use!
As far as the impact drill, it had slightly more than double the rpm than a standard brushless(specs on gun) 600-1500 or so I believe
So theoretically it should be stronger and not use as much battery. More rpm probably means it’ll take way longer to overheat
I've only used the M18 multi tools standard Vs fuel and even tho the standard one was really good the fuel kicks it's ass big time I couldn't believe the difference between them
I’ve had my brushless impact and drill drivers for 3 years now I’ve thought about upgrading I have a m12 fuel impact tho now
i dont like fuel i cant tell if im screwing or not i like betther brushless i can feel when i screw into wood or whatever material
because you're not using the FUEL tool w 100% understanding of its features and capabilities.
For finish trim work, always use the drill on 1 (vs 2) and set the clutch to the lowest setting (2-4) then drive your screw. Check results. If you want the screw to drive further in, slowly and gradually Increase clutch to desired setting.
Thank me later :)
So what exactly does FUEL mean? I’m still not understanding.
Sorry for the confusion, the FUEL range is considered the best of Milwaukee's brushless power tools. FUEL tools have all the benefits of brushless motors paired with their POWERSTATE brushless motor technology, REDLITHIUM batteries, and Redlink PLUS intelligence for added power output.
Look at it this way: all FUEL tools have brushless motors, but not all of Milwaukee’s brushless motor options have the boost in power and runtime that the POWERSTATE brushless motor delivers to the FUEL tools.
@@OhioPowerTool excellent, thank you for that. That helps!!
Not knocking the regular brushless stuff, but the only Milwaukee drill I’ve ever had die on me was the brushless 1/2” drill/driver. I’d put the blame partly on me as I was pretty hard on it. I definitely got my money’s worth out of it, and I don’t expect anything made today to last forever regardless of manufacturer or price point.
Is fuel the brushed
Great job good presentation not too dramatic a little racier than necessary however
We had a lot of information to get through, it was definitely a bit more fast-paced (some might say racier) than usual!
I didn’t get any information here.
Hi! Did you have a specific question in mind that did not get addressed?
Didnt give any information about the difference between brushless and fuel at all.
Here is a link to our blog that goes even further into depth about the difference between brushless and FUEL. (news.ohiopowertool.com/milwaukee-m18-fuel-vs-brushless-vs-brushed-motors-how-do-they-compare/) To put it simply both are brushless motors but FUEL added more power and features as it was a line for individuals that needed more power out of their tools. Regular brushless tools are for those who may not need all of the extra power and additional add-ons (like Redlink PLUS for example). Milwaukee wanted to keep an affordable line for those who needed it but they also wanted to keep growing and provide more power with upgraded specs to original models. Hopefully, this helps!

The mid-level brushless series is not fun to use. The drill chokes up, not fun to use.. The saw has a crappy safety trigger that doesn't work 1 out 10 times. not fun to use. They just don't chooch.
Milwaukee brushless are absolutely junk , have 3 hammer drills and 3 impact drivers that are DOA after a year, switching platform so I can hopefully get reliable tools , FYI my 12year old brushed yellow are still working, inc the batteries
Sounds like DeWalt may be the better option for your tasks 😉 No problem with that!
difference is in the name. doesnt matter why its different. dont have to explain why somethings is better when its better
Still get a lot of questions in store and online but once you know you know. Just trying to address some of the top questions we get with these videos.
Milwaukee salesman in disguise 😂
Milwaukee, is the best! Don't get butthurt people...
Nice One 😎
that was like the worst explanation ever
Choose Dewalt they're American not Chinese like Milwaukee
Hate to break it to ya but they're only assembled in the US and that's only a small percentage of their tools. It's still basically Chinese
Fowl language not appropriate
We're sorry Dana!
The fuel isn't much better I'm upgraded from ryobi and brushless is good enough for me
