Quick verdict

The M18 FH offers useful breadth for installers who alternate between concrete holes and light chiselling. Its four-mode selector includes a separate setting for positioning the chisel.

Key specifications

  • 18V M18 FUEL brushless platform

  • 2.5 J impact energy

  • Up to 26 mm drilling in concrete

  • 0–1,330 rpm and 0–4,800 impacts per minute

  • SDS-plus fitting and four operating modes

What we like

  • AUTOSTOP responds to bind-up by stopping the tool.

  • Chisel alignment makes it easier to choose a working angle.

  • Compatible on-tool extractors are available separately.

What to consider

  • Milwaukee gives 6–20 mm as the optimum drilling range.

  • The M18 FH-0X package needs separately supplied batteries and charger.

Who should buy it?

Existing M18 users carrying out masonry fixings, installation work and occasional tile or mortar removal.

Final verdict

A versatile rotary hammer for an established M18 kit. Select batteries and extraction around the actual work rather than maximum capacity alone.
