Complete video (th-cam.com/video/p8GV4U483LU/w-d-xo.html) where we unbox the Milwaukee M12 Fuel 4-in-1 installation drill kit and do a general comparison between other Milwaukee M12 drills. We also do a side-by-side drill comparison between this driver kit and the Milwaukee M12 Fuel screwdriver (2402-20).
Yea I built these diecast display cases myself after I got sick of trying to find some nice ones at a reasonable price. Glad I was able to help thanks for watching!
I typically only use the right angle for building furniture as well but have since purchased the Bosch 12v 5-in-1. The Bosch is a lot slimer profile vs the Milwaukee so I have been using it a lot more. When adding the hex attachment it's even smaller than my M12 screwdriver.
The main difference is the size/balance where the screwdriver is the clear winner. Outside of that the next biggest thing would be the installation driver does use a button on the top for forward/reverse which is kind of annoying. In regard to how they perform they are nearly identical. I would say if you have the need for the additional attachments these installation drivers are nice, however if you don't the screwdriver is still one of my favorite drills.
@@livingezee For me personally, that's correct. If Milwaukee comes up with a gen2 for the installation driver and gets rid of the bulk up front, then I would maybe reconsider.
Yea I agree that bar on the front needs to go if there is a gen2. I did another video comparing the Bosch 12, and I have since moved on to the Bosch as it's a lot more compact and is shaped like a traditional drill.
@@TeamDIYNowcompletely disagree the magnet up front is half the reason I use it. Holding a bunch of small screws on the drill is a game changer for assembly
Yea but can the m12 screwdriver put the same torque into the product at 90°? How about with an offset? Can it carrry traditional drill bits, or do they have to be impact ready?
I have used Milwaukee's right angle drill adapter in the past with the regular M12 drill without any problem. For the offset, you could use a flexible drill adapter as well (amzn.to/48MYeJe) with the regular drill. With that said, if you need the angles, offset etc I would just go with the installation driver. Also, neither one of these drills in this video require impact bits as they are both considered regular drills not impacts.
@@TeamDIYNowYeah, that’s good and all, but what if you can only use 1 hand? As a commercial electrician, I frequently have to mount metal boxes to studs. That offset adapter comes in handy for screwing to the stud. I have to hold the box with 1 hand and screw it with the other. The best solution is that offset head.
@@TeamDIYNow its insane i drive screws into metal like butter with the GEN 1 screwdriver, with the installation driver it just cant do it , i can only imagine the GEN 2 . Time to spend more money on Milwaukee 🥹
Agreed, they are similar tool in regard to power output. However, the installation driver can be used for various applications. I use both tools regulary as the screwdriver is still my favorite all around screwdriver.
@@TeamDIYNowwhat are some things you'd use the driver for instead? Just curious on purpose for each tool😅 Milwaukee makes a lot of very similar things that do pretty much the same thing it's so confusing
@@kohanrains776 The 4in1 driver kit would be good alternative if you have the need for multiple drills but only want to buy one. You can use it for angles, hex bits, regular chuck, etc. With that said if you only have the need for a regular drill for misc things I really like the M12 screwdriver.

Thanks for the video. Nice diecast display.

i really only want the installation tool for my IKEA building gigs.. thats about it
I typically only use the right angle for building furniture as well but have since purchased the Bosch 12v 5-in-1. The Bosch is a lot slimer profile vs the Milwaukee so I have been using it a lot more. When adding the hex attachment it's even smaller than my M12 screwdriver.
Yea because it has very little power, the screw driver is a Beast
Do you find any benefits of using the screwdriver over the installation driver other than it being slightly smaller and maybe lighter?
The main difference is the size/balance where the screwdriver is the clear winner. Outside of that the next biggest thing would be the installation driver does use a button on the top for forward/reverse which is kind of annoying. In regard to how they perform they are nearly identical.

@@TeamDIYNow thank you. So the screwdriver is always preferred except when those attachments are needed right?
@@livingezee For me personally, that's correct. If Milwaukee comes up with a gen2 for the installation driver and gets rid of the bulk up front, then I would maybe reconsider.
The whole point of the installation driver is to get into cramped spaces so the hand guard is foolish off them to put it on it.
Yea I agree that bar on the front needs to go if there is a gen2. I did another video comparing the Bosch 12, and I have since moved on to the Bosch as it's a lot more compact and is shaped like a traditional drill.

The screw driver is WAY more powerful in my opinion
Yea it does feel more powerful on some applications. The screwdriver is still my all-time favorite drill because of the power to size ratio.
@@TeamDIYNow its insane i drive screws into metal like butter with the GEN 1 screwdriver, with the installation driver it just cant do it , i can only imagine the GEN 2 . Time to spend more money on Milwaukee 🥹
Why are they all the same but different 😅
I'm not sure what you mean by all the same but different?
Pretty much the same
Agreed, they are similar tool in regard to power output. However, the installation driver can be used for various applications. I use both tools regulary as the screwdriver is still my favorite all around screwdriver.
