Milwaukee® Delivers Breakthrough Speed with M18 FUEL™ Drywall Screw Gun - Setting the Bar for Corded Performance, Cordless Productivity

By harnessing the power, performance and run time that they are able to deliver through M18 FUEL™ technology*, Milwaukee® introduces the M18 FUEL™ Drywall Screw Gun.

Capable of driving screws faster than the leading corded competitor and providing 3x longer run time than leading cordless models, the M18 FUEL™ Drywall Screw Gun is the first cordless solution on the market that offers the best balance of speed, run time and ergonomics in the industry to provide unrivaled productivity.

“Cordless drywall screw guns are not new to the industry, but the options available in today’s market do not offer the right combination of performance and ergonomics that professionals require during prolonged use on the jobsite,” said Komron Shepherd, Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “Unwilling to settle on sub-par performance, we spent countless hours of jobsite research looking for exactly the right combination of features users need most. Through our advanced technologies we are able to provide a true productivity enhancement and solution unlike the rest. A great example of this is the AUTO-START feature. With AUTO-START engaged and the trigger locked on, the motor only starts when the screw contacts the drywall. This results in no unnecessary motor noise between screws and up to 3x longer run time. Ultimately, this gives the user the ability to use our screw gun the same way they use their corded guns, but with the portability benefits of cordless.”

By combining three exclusive innovations - the POWERSTATE brushless motor, REDLITHIUM-ION battery pack and REDLINK PLUS intelligence - the new M18 FUEL Drywall Screw Gun delivers break-through performance – driving screws faster than corded at 4500 RPMs. 

Available as bare unit (M18 FSG-0X) or in a kit with a collated attachment (M18 FSGC-202X). M18-FMS254-1

The removable collated attachment allows the user to use the gun as a stand alone screwdriver or a collated screw gun. Tool free adjustment and mounting/dismounting of the screw gun attachment, enables precise driving of strips of screws at top speed. Intuitive design of collated attachment allows for easy cleaning of drywall dust and reinforced structure protects against dropping of tool. For use with commercially available collated screws 25 mm to 55 mm.

When equipped with an M18 REDLITHIUM-ION 2.0 Ah battery pack the tool can consistently fasten up to (27) 120 cm x 240 cm  sheets and weighing in at only 2.0 kg with battery.

Due to its necessity for long periods of time on the jobsite, Milwaukee® spent countless hours designing the M18 FUEL Drywall Screw Gun so that it offers a balanced and lightweight experience for the user. This focus on improved ergonomics has resulted in a Screw Gun that’s comfortable in the user’s hand all day long. 

Available in February of 2017, the new M18 FUEL Drywall Screw Gun offers the speed users require, with the level of comfort they need to get the job done. It is a true testament to Milwaukee®’s focus on the user and investment in game-changing technology.

*M18 FUEL is engineered for the most demanding tradesmen in the world. Delivering unrivaled performance, all M18 FUEL products feature three Milwaukee®-exclusive innovations - the POWERSTATE brushless motor, REDLITHIUM-ION battery pack and REDLINK PLUS intelligence hardware and software - that deliver unmatched power, run time and durability on the jobsite. Simply put, M18 FUEL tools are the most powerful 18V cordless tools in their class.
