I have an assortment of Bosch 18V, Milwaukee M18, and Milwaukee M12.=20

They=E2=80=99re all great. I have the M18 1/2=E2=80=9D high-torque impact gu=
n and it=E2=80=99s an absolute beast. I have two of the Bosch 18V impact dri=
vers and they=E2=80=99re awesome but depending on the job the M12 =E2=80=9Ca=
ssembly driver=E2=80=9D or the M12 fuel impact driver are handier.

My experience with the M12 stuff is that if it has =E2=80=9CFuel=E2=80=9D on=
 the side of it it=E2=80=99s going to be pretty good. Not quite as heavy dut=
y as the M18 but way lighter. I have the oscillating multi-tool, the =E2=80=9C=
Hackzall,=E2=80=9D the high speed ratchet (life changing), and tons of other=
 stuff.  One of my favorites lately is the M12 inflator. Screw it onto a tir=
e, set the pressure, hit =E2=80=9Cgo=E2=80=9D and walk away. It fills it whi=
le you do other stuff. It=E2=80=99s awesome for picking trailers or stored v=
ehicles up at my barn and finding a low tire.

I=E2=80=99m a huge fan of the M12 stuff and if I didn=E2=80=99t need the M18=
 batteries to run the big impact gun or the hedge trimmer/pole saw/edger/str=
ing trimmer I would go exclusively M12.
