Milwaukee M12 Hammer Drill: Compact Power for Everyday Locksmith Use
At Mr. Locksmith, we rely on tools that are compact, reliable, and powerful—tools that stand up to daily use in the field. The Milwaukee M12 5th Gen Hammer Drill is exactly that. Designed with professional tradespeople in mind, this latest upgrade in the M12 line delivers impressive torque, versatility, and portability, making it a perfect fit for locksmiths and technicians on the go.
Why We Like the M12 5th Gen Hammer Drill
The M12 5th Gen Hammer Drill puts out 450 in-lbs of torque, which is more than enough for most locksmith tasks—including installing deadbolts, drilling safes, and working with metal doors. It’s small, lightweight, and efficient—ideal for tight spaces and mobile jobs where a larger drill might be overkill.
Real-World Use: Locksmith Applications
We tested the M12 hammer drill in real locksmith scenarios. It handled everything from:
Drilling hardened steel safe bodies
Installing strike plates and latch hardware
Boring holes in commercial and residential doors
Working inside vehicles and confined spaces
With the ability to switch between 2Ah and 4Ah M12 batteries, we can balance power and runtime depending on the job. It’s light enough to carry every day, and powerful enough that we rarely reach for our heavier M18 drill anymore.
Tool Features That Matter
Adjustable clutch and hammer function for masonry
LED light for dark job sites
Compact size fits easily in tool bags and glove compartments
Durable build that stands up to rough daily use
Verdict: Perfect for Mobile Locksmiths
If you’re a locksmith or tradesperson who values performance without the bulk, the Milwaukee M12 5th Gen Hammer Drill is a worthwhile addition to your kit. It won’t replace every drill you own—but for 90% of day-to-day locksmith work, it gets the job done.
