Overview
The Milwaukee 2613-20 runs on the Milwaukee M18 18-volt battery platform and spins at 1,270 RPM. Compact at 5.3 pounds and 3 by 10 by 6 inches, it delivers genuinely professional rotary hammer performance in a form factor manageable for overhead and tight-access drilling. No amperage spec is listed, which is typical for cordless tools whose current draw varies with the battery used.
With 182 reviews at 4.7 stars and 100 purchases per month, the 2613-20 is one of the highest-rated and most actively purchased rotary hammers in this batch. Milwaukee's M18 platform compatibility means the tool shares batteries and chargers with one of the most widely adopted cordless systems in the professional trades, reducing the real-world cost for existing M18 users.
At $209.16, the Milwaukee 2613-20 is the highest-priced cordless option in this segment. The premium reflects Milwaukee's engineering, warranty support, and brand reliability rather than raw published spec numbers alone. For professionals running M18 tools daily, the ecosystem value and long-term durability expectation justify the price over budget alternatives.

Performance notes
The Milwaukee 2613-20 operates at 1,270 RPM on 18-volt M18 battery power and weighs 5.3 pounds with dimensions of 3 by 10 by 6 inches. Cordless tool amperage varies with battery selection so no fixed figure is listed. No BPM or joule impact energy spec is published, but the M18 platform is widely proven across professional trades for SDS rotary hammer applications.
What buyers say
Owners consistently praise the Milwaukee 2613-20 for its balance of performance and weight, particularly for overhead and day-to-day trade applications. The primary concern is the combined bare-tool plus battery cost. Buyers transitioning from corded tools may be surprised by the total investment required to get running on the M18 platform.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Milwaukee 2613-20 compatible with all M18 batteries?
Based on specs, it is an 18-volt M18 platform tool. Compatibility with specific M18 battery configurations (compact, XC, HD) should be confirmed with Milwaukee directly.
Why is no amperage listed for the 2613-20?
Cordless tool current draw varies with the battery used. Milwaukee does not publish a fixed amperage spec for this tool; the battery's amp-hour (Ah) rating governs runtime rather than a fixed current draw.
