Keep in mind that there are three versions of the M12 1/4" hex screwdriver:
2401 - this deal, least amount of torque (175 in-lbs) and speed (500 RPM) using a brushed motor. This is the heaviest of all models Biggest complaint was too slow and not very powerful.
2402 - brushless motor (FUEL) lots of torque (375 in-los) and speed (2 settings; 0-400 and 0-1,700 RPM). Also included a drill and driver setting. Because it's brushless is lighter (2.0lbs) and batteries last longer in it. People complained that this model was too powerful.
2406 - brushed motor yet the lightest of all (1.8los).
Good amount of torque (275 in-lbs) and speed (2 settings; 0-400 and 0-1,500 RPM). Considered the
"goldilocks" of all the M12 screwdrivers. Latest model released and rarely goes on sale.
Milwaukee M12 screwdrivers are a hybrid of the their M12 drill (as it includes the torque clutch settings) and their impact driver (as it includes the 1/4" hex chuck).
They allow for easy, one handed bit insertion or removal and are a good tool for all around DIY work or delicate woodworking/furniture assembly due to their enhanced torque and speed control. Many consider the M12 driver their go to driver vs the standard M12 drill/impact drivers that are available.
There is also the M12 "Installation 4-1 " drill/driver which comes with several different drill heads (1/4" hex, 3/8 chuck, inline and offset heads). That tool works well when installing cabinetry due to the many different interchangable heads. It has a brushless motor with great torque (300 in-lbs) and speed control (2 speeds 0-400 and 0-1,600 RPM). This tool was recently released (2021) but is not very compact due to his D shaped design vs. the typical pistol design of most drills.
Also this ends up pro-rated to $49.50 for the screwdriver kit and $49.50 for the two 1.5Ah batteries.

Anyways not a knock to this deal or post at all. This is a pretty good price. Just wanted to share my experience for those who already have the installation driver.

That being said - I learned how to use my impact for those jobs that require less power and eventually stopped using the screwdriver and gifted it to my father in law although I really do like this screwdriver.

M12 has some great tools but the lighting is really lacking, especially this one
