      https://bcfasteners.com/shop/milwaukee-2753-20-m18-fuel-14-hex-impact-driver/

  3. any word on the release date for the m18 sds max?

    1. Milwaukee has said first quarter 2016 but nothing official has been presented to distributors yet.

    2. I contacted Milwaukee’s customer service department and was told that the prospective release date for the 6AH and 9AH batteries was at the end of April.
      I hope this is a good estimate, I’m looking forward to using the 9AH battery on my Sawsall and circular saw.

      1. I heard a different story a few weeks ago …we are hearing sometime in the 3rd quarter, but still nothing official as of today.
