Milwaukee Tool continues to advance cordless solutions for demanding concrete demolition applications with the introduction of the M18 FUEL 18-pound SDS MAX Demolition Hammer.
Launch date is November 2026, and the tool list price is $1,299.
Engineered for controlled demolition of floors, walls, and columns, the new hammer delivers 11.4 foot-pound (15.5 J) of impact energy and hits harder than an 18-pound corded demolition hammer, giving professionals the power and productivity needed for demanding chipping applications without the hassles associated with cords.
Paired with an M18 REDLITHIUM FORGE HD12.0 Battery Pack, the demolition hammer delivers maximum chipping run-time, removing over one-third ton of material per charge. This cordless productivity provides enough work per pack to complete small-to medium-sized applications while allowing users to remain on the M18 System.
Powered by Milwaukee’s POWERSTATE Brushless Motor and REDLINK PLUS Intelligence, the M18 FUEL 18-pound SDS MAX Demolition Hammer delivers 11.4 foot-pounds (15.5 J) of impact energy, making this solution the hardest-hitting demolition hammer in its class. Designed for controlled demolition, the hammer features Milwaukee’s AVS Anti-Vibration System to reduce vibration and improve comfort during extended use. Four speed settings enhance precision across applications, while chisel lock and chisel-angle adjustment support greater ease of use and control while chipping. By eliminating cords, the solution also reduces the need to manage tripping hazards, generators and access to electrical outlets on the jobsite.
The M18 FUEL 18-pound SDS MAX Demolition Hammer is equipped with VACLINK Wireless Dust Control, enabling users to activate a compatible dust extractor directly from the tool for increased efficiency and safety during concrete demolition applications. Integrated ONE-KEY compatibility provides tool tracking and inventory-management capabilities.
Milwaukee is committed to improving productivity by providing performance-driven, trade-focused solutions that allow users to perform an entire day’s work on one battery system. The M18 FUEL 18-pound SDS MAX Demolition Hammer is fully compatible with the M18 System, which now offers more than 300 solutions.
*M18 FUEL is engineered for the most demanding tradespeople in the world. Delivering unrivaled performance, all M18 FUEL products feature three Milwaukee-exclusive innovations: the POWERSTATE Brushless Motor, REDLITHIUM Battery Pack, and REDLINK PLUS Intelligence Hardware and Software. Together, these technologies deliver unmatched power, run-time, and durability on the jobsite. Simply put, M18 FUEL tools are the most powerful 18V cordless tools in their class.
