In the UK Milwaukee’s release schedule is around 6 months behind the USA. If you are on YouTube at all you’ll probably have noticed the hype in America around Milwaukee Gen 4 over the last few months. Watching the videos demonstrating the tools I couldn’t help but think to myself, what is Milwaukee gen 4? Which Set is gen 3? What gen tool do I have? The 18V Fuel Impact Driver features a brushless powerstate motor to provide maximum power and efficiency under a heavy load capable of delivering 226Nm of torque, and the redlink plus intelligence system delivers advanced digital protection for both the tool and battery which further enhances the tools performance under a heavy load. REDLINK PLUS™ intelligence system delivers an advanced digital overload protection for tool and battery and uniquely enhances the tool performance under load
For everyone else, I’ve added specifics and gone into detail on the tools, explaining the different upgrades we have seen and more. Where does the Milwaukee Gen 4 naming confusion come from?The 4-Mode DRIVE CONTROL provides greater control over output speed and power, for greater versatility. The Self-Tapping Screw mode provides faster installation time by reducing stripping of fasteners. The Milwaukee M18FID2-0 M18 FUEL ¼” Hex Impact Driver is the Fastest, Most Compact, and Most Powerful tool in its class.

At only 116mm in length, allows users to have more access in tight spaces. The REDLINK PLUS™ intelligence ensures maximum performance and protects from overloads, heating and or over-discharge.
The Milwaukee M18FID2-0 M18 FUEL ¼” Hex Impact Driver is the Fastest, Most Compact, and Most Powerful tool in its class. The POWERSTATE Brushless motor delivers up to 2,000in-lbs of torque and up to 30% Faster Driving speed, increasing user’s productivity for the most demanding fasteners on the job. Milwaukee’s Gen 4 Impact driver the M18FID3 features many upgrades and quality-of-life changes from its predecessor the M18FID2. Upgrades include:Mode 4 is the optimum between precision work and maximum performance and automatically adjusts speed, impact and torque Please Note: Milwaukee’s new M12 Tools were released around the same time as the 4th generation of M18 tools, this caused some content creators to lump all of Milwaukee’s new releases into “Gen 4”. The Milwaukee® DRIVE CONTROL™ allows the user to shift into four different speed and torque settings to maximise application versatility. Before the upgrade to fuel, Milwaukee already had a range of brushless drills and impact drivers. When Fuel was set to release in 2012 Milwaukee reset, calling their new range Fuel Gen 1. However, fans dubbed the release as Milwaukee’s 2nd gen (Milwaukee’s Second generation of tools). Fans have since named Milwaukee’s 2016 release as “Gen 3” and now this year’s (2022) release “Gen 4”.
