Milwaukee Fuel SDS-Plus Hammer, Compact 12V Rotary Hammer for Anchors

It's a compact, cordless SDS Plus hammer drill designed for masonry drilling and light chiseling. As a bare tool, it does not include battery or charger, so you’ll need an M12 battery and an M12 charger to power it. It’s suitable for drilling into concrete, brick, and stone, installing anchors, and light demolition tasks in tight spaces thanks to its compact, lightweight design.

Key aspects include: SDS Plus chuck for quick bit changes, compatibility with Milwaukee M12 battery platform, cordless operation for freedom of movement, and a design focused on compactness and durability for working in confined spaces. It emphasizes efficient performance, ergonomic grip, and reliable durability for professional and DIY use.

If you’re weighing options on Fepy.com, you can compare this Milwaukee M12CH-0 with other SDS Plus cordless/hammers in the same segment, such as the Milwaukee alternatives and selected DEWALT models. Consider factors like battery compatibility (M12 vs. other platforms), tool weight, grip comfort, drilling speed, impact energy, and whether the model is a bare tool or ships with battery/charger. Examples of analogous options you might compare (product pages available on Fepy.com) include: Milwaukee M12CH-502 SDS Plus Hammer Drill (Bare Tool) at https://fepy.com/product/milwaukee-m12ch-502-sds-plus-hammer-drill-bare-tool and DEWALT DCH273X2 20V Max SDS Plus Hammer Drill (Bare Tool) at https://fepy.com/product/dewalt-dch273x2-20v-sds-plus-hammer-drill-bare-tool.

Use cases include drilling into concrete, masonry, and brick for anchor installation, running conduit or cable passes through masonry, chiseling gaps or channels, and doing maintenance tasks where a corded drill would be impractical. Its compact size makes it suitable for overhead or tight-space drilling.

Steps: (1) Insert a compatible SDS Plus drill bit. (2) Attach an appropriate M12 battery and ensure it’s charged with a compatible M12 charger. (3) Set the drill to the desired mode (drill, hammer, or chisel as needed). (4) Secure the workpiece, wear PPE (eye protection, hearing protection, gloves), and start slowly to guide the bit. (5) After use, switch off, remove the battery, and store the tool in a safe area. Always follow the bit manufacturer’s guidelines for depth stops and use appropriate anchors for the job.

Wearing proper PPE (safety glasses, hearing protection, gloves, and a dust mask when cutting masonry) is essential. Use as specified for SDS Plus bits, avoid overloading the tool, and ensure workpieces are secured. Keep hands away from rotating bits, and follow all local regulations and the bit manufacturer’s instructions for safe operation and maintenance.

Use a charged M12 battery with a compatible charger. Avoid deep discharges; recharge when the battery level is low. Store batteries at moderate temperatures and remove them from the tool when not in use for extended periods. Regularly inspect and clean contacts to maintain efficient charging and operation.

The tool uses an SDS Plus mechanism and a mode selector to switch between drilling, hammer drilling, and chiseling. For masonry drilling and hammer drilling, use the hammer mode; for light chiseling, switch to the chisel setting. Always ensure the bit is appropriate for the selected mode and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for each operation.

As a bare tool, the package includes the Milwaukee M12CH-0 SDS Plus Cordless Hammer Drill without battery and charger. You will need to purchase an M12 battery and an M12 charger separately to power the tool, as well as SDS Plus bits and any specialty chisels you plan to use.

Select an M12 battery with capacity suitable for your workload (higher Ah ratings typically provide longer runtime). Pair it with an M12 charger compatible with the battery you choose. Ensure the battery voltage matches the tool’s M12 platform and that the charger supports fast or standard charging as needed. Using a high-quality battery and a reliable charger will optimize performance and runtime.

Value depends on how you plan to use it and whether you already use Milwaukee’s M12 system. As a bare tool, it offers flexibility to pair with your existing M12 batteries and chargers, potentially lowering overall cost if you already own M12 gear. Compare the pricing, included accessories (if any), and the cost of purchasing batteries and chargers separately versus bundled options on Fepy.com to assess overall value.

Yes, you can work in dusty environments, but use appropriate PPE and consider dust extraction attachments if available for the SDS Plus system. Check Fepy.com for compatible dust extraction accessories and SDS Plus bit sets designed for masonry to help manage dust and debris during drilling.
