Milwaukee Unleashes the Future with M18 AI Triggerless Drill

Milwaukee Tool disrupts the power tool industry with its latest innovation, the M18 AI Triggerless Drill with automatic speed and torque.

This groundbreaking new tool leverages contact-activation technology powered by artificial intelligence, eliminating the need for a traditional trigger and optimizing performance for unprecedented ease and accuracy. It automatically applies speed and torque under any application.

Wonderful... take something pretty simple and add some electronics to fail. Just what one needs when in the middle of work needing done.

This AI-enhanced approach not only drives screws and bolts but also automatically stops when optimal fastening is achieved or the drill bit breaks through the material. This is all thanks to its intelligent torque management. This ensures each job is done right the first time, with no room for error or material damage.

Or one could just learn to use a friggin drill...

Previously, you had to choose the correct gear or mode, feather the trigger, and often switch gears to complete a more difficult task.

I'm fine with controlling my Milwaukee drill all by myself. Been working out just fine for years.

That’s a hefty price for the gimmick features.

But it's smart!

Electronics banging around in a dusty environment. Sounds like an excellent idea!

What worker is going to say: "Oh yeah. I'm too dumb to pull the trigger at precisely the time I want the bit to engage. Yeah, I want to pay much more for a device that attempts to anticipate when I want to drill."

 

[Peacenik]

How does this drill know it's not drilling into the wrong thing? Such as human flesh? Or something the worker didn't want a hole in?

These things crossed my mind as well. And I'm assuming this thing has a power button like my trim nailer that must be pressed and will time out after a few minutes of non-use.

Does it have grip sensors to know you are holding it? Or can it take off in tool bag if up against something just right?

Next up, a sawzall that can take off when it's 'supposed to'!

Don't feel bad, everybody falls for them.

So they say, but it’s also expensive.

I was falling for it too until I got to this line:

“With the M18 AI Triggerless Drill, we’ve taken the best features of the Milwaukee 2906-20 and elevated them with AI technology to offer a tool that knows what the user needs, even before they do,” said Feyn Humint, Director of Product Development at Milwaukee Tool.

I can't believe I even considered it legit, but never know with shit they come out with these days.

Not really a gullible person, but maybe I am!

I will give it to them on their oscillating tool though, which is kinda 'smart'. Auto setting ramps up speed with pressure/resistance.

I'm buying one soon. I'm a milwaukee guy, and I have two corded ones but I really need a cordless.

Have probably 15 or so tools between the 12 and 18v line. About the only time I"ve pulled a cord out for years is for my big hammer drill, corded circular saw or table saw.

I have a lot of Ryobi 18v One+ cordless tools. My (portable) corded tools are a Kobalt 5 cu. ft. concrete mixer, Kobalt 10” sliding compound miter saw and a Skil 10” table saw.

Have a few Ryobi floating around. Can't beat for the price. And some Rigid.

Hope your Kobalt stuff is serving you well. Soured me from the start when I gave their pneumatic impact a shot. Damn thing barely turn a loose lug.
Talked to Dad one day and brought it up. He had bought the same before and concured a POS. "Well wish I'd talked to you first!"
He just went back to his trusty old B&D.

I bit the bullet and got the big Milwaukee 18v impact. Damn near sheer a stud off with the thing.

This sort of thing has long been common on manufacturing assembly lines.

I want cordless cords.
