Ya I use them. We have about 25 of the 3/8" and maybe 6 of the 1/2" in the tool crib. They get used steady 24/7/365. They do ok.
wow, those are some serious numbers
I have the model before this one. It's been good, pretty strong too. Only bitch I have is the batteries. They don't seem to charge as well as my Makita 18 stuff.

The fuel models are brushless motors. The older versions are standard motors.
I was a Makita guy forever. For some reason I switched over to Milwaukee last year with all of my cordless stuff. Impact, sawzall, drill....blah blah.
It all sucked IMO. 2 Chargers burnt up, drill burnt up, batteries suck..
Sold what was left of all my new stuff and bought the new brushless Makita setup. Couldn't be happier.
I should have never switched out from what, to me, is the best brand going.

To be honest I've never used makita stuff. And my own personal gear in my old service truck was snap on electrics. But the Milwaukee stuff for us really holds it's own. And I mean these are company supplied tools in a mine equipment maintenance environment. We are abusive to them in the worst way. I not gonna lie, if you need a bolt turner it's a bolt turner, if you need a hammer it's a hammer. Oil grease oilsand you name it. We clean them with brake clean. I'm surprised they survive at all. And they still do the job. I wouldn't knock them in any way shape or form.
These are 2 rows deep. 1/2 stuff to the left and 3/8 gear all to the right.

I don't have the Fuel version, but I really like my M18 1/2' impact. I bought the XC4.0 battery for it and that really made it nice. I am just a hobbiest, so it's not a tool I make a living with but it's done everything I've needed. It's awesome for taking out seat belt bolts.
