AI Review Summary:
Across thousands of verified reviews, buyers consistently praise the SURGE for noticeably quieter operation and reduced vibration versus standard impacts, citing less fatigue during long fastening sessions. Many call out smooth, controlled driving with the self-tapping mode and appreciate the compact size for cabinet and HVAC work. Durability and the 5‑year warranty earn positive marks. Some users note the 450 in‑lbs sustained torque feels weaker for heavy lag bolts compared with hammer-type impacts, and a few mention the hydraulic unit can lose performance in extreme cold. Representative quotes: “Significantly quieter—my go-to indoors,” “Feels smooth and precise,” and “Great for screws, not my choice for big lags.”
Upgrade to the M18 FUEL SURGE today for faster, quieter, and more controlled fastening across every project.
