The M18 BPD-402C is Milwaukee's standard, non Fuel percussion drill, sold as a kit with 4.0 Ah battery power and a charger. It is a reasonable entry point into the M18 system for DIYers and light trade users who want the platform without paying for Fuel performance. What makes it stand out is the clear speed and impact data in the listing, which several rivals leave out.
- Max torque
- 60 Nm
- Batteries in box
- 4.0 Ah (count not stated)
- Charger
- Included
- Chuck
- 13 mm
- Speeds
- 2
In its favour
- The listing gives two speeds, 0 to 450 and 0 to 1,800 rpm, plus 60 Nm of torque.
- A 13 mm chuck and an impact rate of up to 28,800 per minute for masonry are listed.
- The battery fits the wide M18 range, so you can add Milwaukee tools later.
Good to know
- The listing does not say how many batteries come in the box; check before ordering.
- Brushless motor is not mentioned, so expect less runtime per charge than Fuel drills.
Our take
The numbers Milwaukee gives
The listing gives two speeds, 0 to 450 rpm and 0 to 1,800 rpm, a maximum torque of 60 Nm and an impact rate up to 28,800 blows per minute. It also lists a wood screw capacity of 7 mm and a 13 mm chuck. The 450 rpm gear is slow enough for controlled driving and large bits, and the 1,800 rpm gear handles small holes in masonry and metal.
The spec table says Impact Driver as the drill type and 3200 W as maximum power. Both look like data errors; the title and impact rate point to a percussion combi drill.
Kit contents are unclear
The included components field says battery and battery charger, and the title says 4.0 Ah, but it does not state how many batteries are supplied. A single pack would make long jobs slower, so check the count with the seller before buying.
The motor type is not stated either. There is no brushless claim in the listing, so assume it is brushed, which typically means less run time per charge than the Fuel drills.
Fuel or standard
Milwaukee's M18FPD2 offers 135 Nm, more than twice this drill's torque, but comes with a single 5 Ah pack. The M18 FPD3-0 matches that output and is sold bare. For a home user drilling wall plugs and assembling furniture, 60 Nm is enough, and the BPD is likely to be the lighter, simpler tool.
Compared with the Makita DHP453RFE at 42 Nm, the Milwaukee has a clear torque lead and a published speed range.
Not ideal for
Trades who bore large holes in joists every day, and buyers who want certainty on the battery count.
Verdict
Choose the M18 BPD-402C if you want to start on Milwaukee's M18 platform with a capable two speed combi for general jobs, and you have confirmed the battery count. For heavy boring, step up to the M18FPD2, and for a lighter home kit with two packs, the Makita DHP453RFE is an alternative.
