The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 1/2" Drill Driver (2903-20) is the industry's most powerful and most compact drill driver in its class. Powered by the POWERSTATE Brushless Motor, it delivers 1,400 in-lbs of torque and the fastest drilling and driving performance under load — capable of completing 2-9/16" self-feed holes in dense woods. At only 6.9" in length, it provides best-in-class access and maneuverability in tight spaces. AutoStop Control Mode prevents over-rotation in bind-up situations for enhanced operator safety. REDLINK PLUS intelligence protects from overloads, overheating, and over-discharge. Tool only — battery and charger sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this include a battery and charger?
No — the 2903-20 is a tool-only SKU. It is compatible with all Milwaukee M18 REDLITHIUM battery packs, which are sold separately. For a kit with batteries and charger, look for the 2903-22 or similar kit SKUs.
What is AutoStop Control Mode?
AutoStop is a safety feature that detects bind-up events — when the bit catches and the tool begins to over-rotate — and stops the motor to protect the operator. A dedicated indicator light on the foot of the tool illuminates when an AutoStop event occurs.
What makes the POWERSTATE Brushless Motor better?
Brushless motors eliminate carbon brushes, reducing friction and heat for longer motor life, more consistent power delivery under load, and greater energy efficiency compared to brushed motors. The POWERSTATE motor is Milwaukee's highest-performance brushless motor platform.
Is this drill compatible with all M18 batteries?
Yes — the 2903-20 is compatible with the full range of Milwaukee M18 REDLITHIUM battery packs. For maximum runtime, Milwaukee recommends the XC5.0Ah battery pack.
