Milwaukee M18 FUEL FUEL STRIKER Hammer Chisel
My favorite thing about battery powered tools is that they are truly cordless options. Tools that were once tethered with cords and hoses can finally breath freely and move about with no constraints. The air hammer is another tool that now has a cordless option. If you work at an auto shop you no longer have to deal with the constraints of an air hammer such as compressors, hoses, and loss of pressure, etc.
The Milwaukee M18 FUEL Striker hammer chisel gives you the ability to tear down suspensions, remove ball joints, remove seized components, etc and yet it is fully cordless. Thanks to its brushless motor and M18 battery, it can replace an air hammer and even has the performance of the leading long-barrel air hammers operating at 145 PSI. This Milwaukee can generate 7 joules of striking force to get work done.
It uses a twist style chuck that’s fully compatible with .401 inch round shank accessories and has quick and easy bit changes.
It also has 3 selectable speeds plus a ramp-up mode that gradually increases impact speed from 0 to 3,000 BPM when the trigger is fully engaged.
There’s also an optional protective boot made specifically for this hammer chisel to protect the rear of the tool.
We can expect it to launch September 2026.

Milwaukee M18 & M12 Four Bay Simultaneous Super Charger w/ PACKOUT Compatibility (48-59-1818) – $499.00
Last but not least is a new M18 and M12 multibay battery charger. This new charger can charge 4 batteries at the same time. But not just that it’s also a super charger. It’s faster than their rapid charger which was considerably faster than their stock chargers.
It can charge four M18 XC5.0 batteries in just 45 minutes, four M18 XC8.0 in just 70 minutes, and four M18 Forge HD12.0 batteries in just 90 minutes! Leveraging CHARGE ADAPT Adaptive Charge Distribution, the charger distributes power across all engaged bays to enable efficient, simultaneous charging.
It has a total of four M18 battery bays, two on each side. It also has two M12 battery bays on one side only just below their respective M18 bays. Though you can only use either an M18 or an M12 in those two bays because by using one type, it blocks the other type.
This charger is also COOL-CYCLE capable. Cool-cycle is an active cooling system that they say provides high speed cooling for less downtime. The COOL-CYCLE active cooling only works with M18 batteries that have the Cool-Cycle capability. They don’t say exactly how it works but I imagine it might be using fans but don’t quote me on that. I know other brands like Makita and Bosch do it, so it makes sense Milwaukee would too.
Of course LED lights are included to communicate the state of charge.
This new Super Charger is also a PACKOUT tool and can stack and connect to other PACKOUT gear for easy transport.
It will be available June 2026 for $499.
Specifications:
- Compatible with all M18™ and M12™ Batteries
- Power source: AC
- 5 Year Warranty
- Super Charge Rate – 38 Amps
