They were able to lower the noise level, reduce the weight by 1 lb, reduce the length by 1/4″, cut the vibrations down, increase ipm’s and make an everyday impact driver. So Milwaukee went to the drawing board and wanted to design a better tool for these types of applications.
DECIBEL MILWAUKIE DRIVERS
Most of the applications for impact drivers were decking, drywall and other applications that don’t need all the torque. Milwaukee does a ton of research and during their research, they found that most tradesmen didn’t need all the torque. As I said earlier, Milwaukee is about solving problems and that’s what they did with the Milwaukee Surge. However you have to look at the whole tool and not just the torque number. Now if we are just looking at numbers, I am sure this isn’t a tool to turn heads and it would be a no brainer to buy the 2753. The Milwaukee Surge delivers only 450 in-lbs of torque, well that is a huge difference.
DECIBEL MILWAUKIE DRIVER
All great and dandy, but what about torque? As you probably know the Milwaukee Fuel 1/4″ impact driver 2753 delivers 1,800 in-lbs of torque, which is awesome. The weight is right over your hand and isn’t front heavy. The Surge is extremely light weighing only 2.1 lbs and is only 5″ long, making it great for tight spaces and all day use. Instead of having to pull the sleeve out and insert the bit, all you have to do is push the bit into the sleeve and it will automatically lock into place.
The Surge has a 1/4″hex which has a great design. On the bottom base of the driver, there are 4 modes, low, med, high and finishing. Milwaukee designed the Surge around their brushless motor. So not only do you get a much quieter impact driver, but you get about 3 times less vibrations because you don’t have the metal hitting metal.
DECIBEL MILWAUKIE PLUS
Another plus to this design is the vibrations. In fact, when you are using the Milwaukee Surge, it only produces 76 decibels. By taking this away, they reduced the noise level down by 50%. So in essence, they are taking away the hard metal hitting metal with a fluid-drive hydraulic powertrain system. Instead of having metal on metal, Milwaukee uses a hydraulic system with an enclosed chamber where the fluid sits. Here is where Milwaukee comes into play and the Milwaukee Surge impact driver. When that spring is released, the energy drives the hammer down while simultaneously twisting it. An impact driver rotates an internal hammer that compresses a spring. The reason impact drivers are so loud is because the internal mechanism is metal against metal. Impact drivers are extremely loud by themselves, but get into a closed room such as a basement and it sounds like a war zone with all the noise. However there is a downside to impact drivers, the noise. Impact drivers are powerful, fast and a huge time saver. There isn’t a better tool available for all around fastening. So speaking of that, they designed a new impact driver, the Milwaukee Surge.ĭoesn’t matter what brand, but everyone has used an impact driver. Just take a look at their M12 line and you can see exactly what I mean. Instead Milwaukee looks at the problems tradesmen are facing and designs a product around them, even if it means the target audience is smaller. Milwaukee doesn’t look at designing a product based on the traditional methods, such as they will build it only if there is a big enough audience. When I say tradesmen, I am not talking about just electrical or plumbing, they are building tools for all the trades. They want to design tools for the tradesmen to solve their problems and make their life easier. As you know, Milwaukee likes to think outside the box. Well Milwaukee Tool is at it again with another tool in their M18 line.
