M12 FUEL 1/2" Hammer Drill/Driver vs M18 FUEL 1/2" Hammer Drill/Driver

The M12 FUEL 3404 and M18 FUEL 2904 are each the top hammer drill on their battery.

The M18 has much more torque (1,400 in-lbs vs 400 in-lbs). The M12 is lighter (2.6 lbs vs 3.3 lbs, tool only) and its battery is far smaller, which you feel overhead and in tight spots.

Choose by the battery you already own and the size of the holes you drill: M12 for small anchors and pilot holes, M18 for big bits and hole saws.
