All be warned. M12 has no hammer only function

[@RaggedsEdge]

I’ve been using this m12 hammer drill for 8 years. It punches way above its weight. Just a note though, you did a few things that hurt it’s performance. First you drilled the bit past it’s flutes which means the dust has nowhere to go. That’s why it puffed every time you backed it out. Don’t over run the flutes. In fact pecking it in and out will help dislodge the dust better and drill faster. Also, you looked to be bearing down very hard on it. Let the tool do the work. Otherwise, I enjoyed the video.

[@MachineryNation]

Thank you for the feedback Ragged 👍🏼

[@bradtyson]

Good advice, precise nothing else to say. DO not push down excessively on a hammer drill you WILL burn the bit out no matter how good they are..

[@bobufo5729]

On the m18 one the instructions are insightful . There is actually a gauge built in it’s the little accordion style folding rubber between the handle . It shows how hard your supposed to press and the manual has a photo

[@s1dew1nd3r4]

how do you find the m12 stuff compared to the m18 gear? im interested in buying into a new system but im just unsure at the moment if to go for mil/mak/dewalt.

[@richarddunnett2619]

I love the sound of SDS in the morning

[@BCF78]

That M12 is a lovely bit of kit. Seems very user friendly. Congrats to you guys on the 10k subs and to Brain for winning the giveaway 👏

[@MachineryNation]

It is a lovely tool, thank you 😎

[@michaelbarrett5732]

Yet another great video, so refreshing to see people have a bit of a laugh while also being informative about tools I am genuinely interested in. As I slowly build my Milwaukee collection, it’s great having videos to help choose. Keep it up!

[@MachineryNation]

Thank you Michael 😎

[@prestigemechanical3600]

X2 great to see the laughs and smiles ! Keep up the great work boys ! I just subscribed ! Great channel !

[@MachineryNation]

@@prestigemechanical3600 Thank you 🤩

[@OzzyTravels]

I have the m12 and don't let it fool you because it is slower. It is a powerful wee tool. I use it for fixing pans into concrete floors and framing to brick and that tool is bloody awesome

[@i_know_youre_right_but]

How has it held up mate? I’ve been toying with the idea of swapping my 18v for the 12v but I can’t imagine the 12v SDS being very durable when it comes to drilling in concrete all day..

[@OzzyTravels]

@@i_know_youre_right_but handy to have both. But if you’re using the m12 get bigger batteries. I find you get more power out of them. The 2 amp barriers don’t have the oomf of life to make it worth having for all day use

[@Bubatronic303]

I'm an electrician and I have the M18 SDS, great for chasing out socket and switch boxes. Saves on beating my knuckles with the lump hammer 🔨

[@edwardburke9181]

Congrats on the 10k boys . another fun demo and giveaway .

[@TheLawnmowerLady]

Does that bit lasts longer by pulling out more often?

[@MachineryNation]

You tell me 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

[@Zozo806]

yes, a clean hole is a cool hole.. A cooler bit will not as quickly burn out

[@smusyk2859]

Excellent comparison guys was a makita fan but after using milwaukee the makita drills rarely comes out to play

[@TheYazza1]

Could you try m18 hammer drill v M12 sds drill?

[@tommyharris5817]

Can the M12 drill holes easily in my old solid garage concrete floor, as my cordless 18v combi/hammer drill didn't even make a dent?

[@Saxondog]

Love the way your oppo thought he had all his ppe kit on but forgot his Jim Carrey...The Mask. Still love that film ... Smoking!

[@MachineryNation]

All the gear no idea 😂 great film 💪🏼

[@burtbloggs]

These videos are such fun to watch.

[@MachineryNation]

Thank you so much Burt 😎

The two ronnies are back lol and James bonds uses a peashooter ? . Well done both. Funny vid

[@MachineryNation]

Hahahah thank you Neil 🤩 Ps JB defo uses a pre shooter 😂

[@nano7599]

you have so much fun making the videos

[@singbob]

I have both the m12 sds and m18 chpx (more for the roto stop feature) but the m12 is excellent! I've drilled through lintels (with the ruwag lintel bits) which my cheap titan corded sds with 3j of breaking power couldn't manage...to be fair was probably the drill bits.

[@bradtyson]

drill bits really do make the difference

[@andrewbyrne6017]

M12 all day when your up a ladder all day . Great video 👍

[@omerhaq7720]

Great Video. Can’t wait to join Milwaukee range!

[@ryancable9582]

Great video series. Amazing how powerful the M12 range is.

[@MachineryNation]

It is loverly Ryan 🙏🏼

[@cormaclogan7250]

Have the m18 but want all the m12 stuff just love it! 😍😍

[@MachineryNation]

Yes Cormac, do it!

[@carloscastillo7864]

Those little drills got some power

[@HerrenGamingNews]

I've used the M18 SDS it's definitely a great tool but I see the value of the M12 if you're working in tight spaces or need to drill holes for anchor bolts at home.

Thank you fellas for protecting yourself and being a good example for the use of PPE. Silicosis is a real threat to many of us. Plus we can't hear you blubbering on with that Bane mask you strapped to your honkers.

Thank you GCP 🥳

It maybe slower but the M12 did ok. It’s quicker than my Bosch SDS, hint hint 😉 Great give away

Thank you Al 👍🏼Does your Bosch still have the turny thing on the side you have to wind to make it go faster? 😉

Another wicked video guys. I have the M18 SDS it's wicked drill even works in reverse 😂 and makes a good little breaker if you haven't got one on site. But that M12 wow what a little drill I was very impressed with it. 👌

[@MachineryNation]

Superb, Thank you Jacob.

Great set of videos guys, have a few m12 tools for around home and was wondering if i should step up to the m18, after seeing these don't feel the need now and will stay on the m12 platform

Nice video think I need that m12

[@catchacow1927]

[@nibs2344]

The lightness of the M12 would be perfect up a ladder drilling holes to mount a floodlight, alarm box, camera etc. May have to invest in one

[@MachineryNation]

Perfect for that 👍🏼

[@nibs2344]

@@MachineryNation Any idea when is it back in stock?

[@Romeworld95]

Thus is exactly why I bought M12. Fixing holes anywhere is such a breeze. Takes a tad bit longer but it's so light and versatile. A shame it doesn't have a belt clip though.

[@adamdiaz8442]

Are u guys going to be getting the new Milwaukee vacuums and the new accessories

[@MachineryNation]

Hopefully we will when they reach the U.K. 👍🏼

[@Big_Johns]

Careful Ryan, James was straining drilling those holes and you know what happens when he strains. 🤣🤢 Congrats on the 10K subscribers Hayes Machinery!! 👍

Thank you Sparky 👍🏼

[@MrSPLbear]

8:45 Let the tool and the drill working. It is a compact hammer drill. Don't need to push it with two hands. When the rotating speed is decreasing you have to decrease the pushing power till the speed is increasing. Don't push the drill until it stops.

[@joshc.7897]

Honest opinion on the m12 hammer drill vs m18 hammer drill. I need batteries for m12 fuel multi tool and I can purchase kit with batteries and drill/impact or do I buy m12 batteries separate and get m18 drill I already have m18 batteries. Thanks best tool review channel I have found! Ps I’m home owner/diy not a contractor.

[@jonathanrose456]

Great fun but, given the M12CH is now 9 years old & Milwaukee are upgrading a lot of M12 Fuel tools, how long before they release a newer version?

Brilliant comparison there, if only the M12 was able to chisel 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@MachineryNation]

I proved you don’t need to chisel 😂😂

[@dylandrew1980]

I have both and each have their uses, back boxes or lighting is the m12 all the way, anything larger than 8mm and I’d be looking for the the bigger one if it was near by…. Larger than 12 and it’s the larger the whole way.

[@karlwoolhouse4826]

I’ve got the same m18 one, 12ah battery in it, like a knife though butter

Yes indeedy! I recon you could drill for oil with that!
