With so many Milwaukee M18 tools to choose from, it’s helpful to be informed, know your options and understand how to choose which M18 tools will get the job done.

The Milwaukee^® Fuel™ system puts the most advanced technology in cordless tools in your hands, and includes not one, but three exclusive Milwaukee innovations: POWERSTATE, REDLINK™ and REDLITHIUM™. Recently Milwaukee expanded their capabilities with innovation in high-output batteries using new 21,700 lithium-ion cells to deliver more power and runtime than ever before.

Powerstate Brushless Motors

Milwaukee designs motors specifically for each power tool to deliver optimal performance. By converting energy into power and torque more effectively, they have up to four times the power-generating components than competitive brushless motors. By reducing wearable parts, Powerstate brushless motors extend the tool life by as much as two times. They are ideal for professionals because they deliver more application speed, torque and durability in a smaller size. Additionally, Powerstate brushless motors reduce noise and cool more rapidly to deliver years of maintenance-free performance.

RedLithium Batteries

With smart tools and brushless motors come smart batteries. Milwaukee opted to put electronics not only in their power tools, but also in the M18 RedLithium battery packs. The tools and batteries work together to deliver more work over the course of your day and over the life of the battery. These batteries provide five times more run-time, 50 per cent more power, and two times longer life than standard lithium-ion packs. The construction of the battery casing protects against impact, vibration, water and heat to provide the most durable pack for any construction site. In addition, the new Milwaukee high output battery packs now allow cordless tool power output to match and exceed cordless in ways it never could before.

RedLink Plus Intelligence

RedLink Plus Intelligence combines hardware with software so Milwaukee tools can have full-circle communication. RedLink Plus connects the brushless power tool with the M18 battery and monitors and controls the charger when putting a battery on for recharging packs. The system constantly monitors this internal network to maintain ideal conditions for both performance and protection.

This smart monitoring of tool and battery allows Milwaukee to push tools further, drive them longer and ensure that motors and battery packs remain safe in the process. Without this smart interaction, batteries can be driven too hard for too long causing them to overheat or fail prematurely. RedLink Plus is Milwaukee’s electronic solution that keeps everything operating smoothly.
