QuickIN Technology and FEIN Design: What Sets This Model Apart

The QuickIN Max chuck is FEIN's signature on this tool. It accepts 1/4" hexagonal bits and round shank drill bits without an adapter, in one single motion.

Changing an accessory takes less than two seconds. On an intense job site, that changes everything.

The FEIN mechanical design focuses on long-term robustness: aluminum housing, metal gears, and careful balancing. The machine sits comfortably in the hand without fatigue, even during prolonged use.

• 4 mechanical speeds for fine adaptation to the material
• Brushless motor: increased service life, less maintenance
• QuickIN Max chuck: ultra-fast accessory changes
• Integrated percussion mode for concrete and masonry
• Maximum torque of 95 Nm for demanding screw driving
• Compatible with FEIN AMPShare 18 V batteries (shared platform)

At Dagobert Industrie, we stock this tool because it meets the requirements of industrial environments and intensive finishing work, where a consumer-grade drill quickly reaches its limits.

Detailed Technical Specifications of the FEIN ASCM 18 QMP AS

The FEIN ASCM 18 QMP AS is an 18V cordless percussion drill/driver designed for demanding professionals. It combines power, precision, and versatility in a compact format.

Its brushless motor delivers a maximum torque of 130 Nm, sufficient to tackle solid wood, steel, and light masonry effortlessly.

The 4-speed mechanical transmission is a rare asset in this category. It allows for precise adjustment of speed and torque for every material and screw driving task.

The 13 mm Quick-IN chuck accepts standard drill bits and screw bits. The tool change is keyless and takes just a few seconds on the job site.

The mode selector allows you to switch between drilling, screw driving, and percussion depending on the substrate. The percussion function remains suitable for light masonry materials.

• Voltage: 18 V
• Max torque: 130 Nm
• Mechanical speeds: 4
• Steel drilling diameter: up to 13 mm
• Wood drilling diameter: up to 65 mm
• Masonry drilling diameter: up to 16 mm
• Weight (without battery): approximately 1.9 kg
• Battery compatibility: FEIN 18 V AMPShare system

Model	Max Torque	Speeds	Percussion	Weight (w/o batt.)	Typical Usage
FEIN ASCM 18 QMP AS	130 Nm	4	Yes	~1.9 kg	Pro multi-purpose, light masonry
FEIN ASCM 18 QM	130 Nm	4	No	~1.8 kg	Pro wood/metal screw/drill
Makita DHP486	130 Nm	2	Yes	~1.9 kg	Pro multi-purpose
Bosch GSB 18V-90 C	64 Nm	2	Yes	~1.8 kg	Job site multi-purpose

The AMPShare compatibility allows you to use FEIN 18V batteries across the entire FEIN range, as well as on tools from other brands that are part of the standard. A real advantage for multi-tool workshops.

In-Situation Performance: Drilling, Screw Driving, Tapping, and Hole Saws

The ASCM 18 QMP AS covers a wide spectrum of applications, from light job site work to demanding metalwork. Its 4-speed transmission and maximum torque of 130 Nm allow it to handle the most demanding tasks without losing control.

The integrated percussion mode opens the door to drilling in masonry and concrete, without having to change machines. A real time-saver on the job site.

Drilling and Tapping Capacities by Material

Every material has its requirements. Here is what the ASCM 18 QMP AS can concretely do:

• Steel: drilling up to 13 mm, tapping up to M10
• Wood: drilling up to 40 mm, effortless driving of long screws
• Masonry / concrete: drilling up to 13 mm in percussion mode
• Hole saws: diameters up to 68 mm in wood

Tapping is natively handled thanks to the dedicated speed selection. No need for an external adapter or complex settings.

For hole saws, the reduced speed in 1st gear ensures sufficient torque without excessive overheating. Ideal for electricians and plumbers who perform serial work.

Model	Max Torque (Nm)	Speeds	Steel Drill (max)	Wood Drill (max)	Tapping	Percussion
FEIN ASCM 18 QMP AS	130 Nm	4	13 mm	40 mm	M10	✔
FEIN ASCM 18 QM (no percussion)	130 Nm	4	13 mm	40 mm	M10	✘
Makita DHP486	130 Nm	2	13 mm	38 mm	-	✔
Milwaukee M18 FPD2	135 Nm	2	13 mm	40 mm	-	✔

The 4-speed transmission is the true differentiator compared to the 2-speed models on the market. It offers a much finer range of speeds, useful whenever switching from M3 tapping to large-diameter hole saws.

Comparison: FEIN ASCM 18 QMP AS vs. Competing Cordless Percussion Drills

The FEIN ASCM 18 QMP AS is positioned in the high-end segment of cordless percussion drill/drivers. Here is how it compares to market benchmarks.

Model	Voltage	Max Torque	Speeds	Percussion	Weight (w/o batt.)	Positioning
FEIN ASCM 18 QMP AS	18 V	130 Nm	4 speeds	Yes	~1.9 kg	Demanding professional
Bosch GSB 18V-150 C	18 V	150 Nm	2 speeds	Yes	~2.1 kg	Professional multi-purpose
Makita DHP487	18 V	73 Nm	2 speeds	Yes	~1.7 kg	Semi-professional
Milwaukee M18 FPD2	18 V	135 Nm	2 speeds	Yes	~2.0 kg	Intensive professional
DeWalt DCD996	18 V	95 Nm	3 speeds	Yes	~1.9 kg	Professional multi-purpose

The FEIN ASCM 18 QMP AS stands out with its 4-speed gearbox, a rarity in this category. This allows for much finer speed control than the Bosch, Milwaukee, or DeWalt models, all of which are limited to 2 or 3 speeds.

Compared to the Makita DHP487, the FEIN offers significantly higher torque. It is suitable for heavy metal or concrete work, where the Makita reaches its limits.

Compared to the Milwaukee M18 FPD2, which has similar torque levels, the FEIN wins on screw driving precision thanks to its high-performance brushless motor and advanced electronic management.

The contained weight (~1.9 kg) is a tangible advantage on job sites at heights or in constrained positions, especially compared to the Bosch GSB 18V-150 C, which is 200g heavier.

In summary, the FEIN ASCM 18 QMP AS is the go-to for professionals who prioritize precision, versatility, and long-term durability.

FAQ - FEIN ASCM 18 QMP AS

1. What is the difference between the FEIN ASCM 18 QMP AS and a standard drill/driver?

The ASCM 18 QMP AS includes a percussion function in addition to standard drilling and screw driving.

Concretely, it tackles concrete, masonry, and hard materials without needing a separate hammer drill. One tool for three uses.

2. Is a brushless motor really useful on a daily basis?

Yes. The brushless motor of the FEIN ASCM 18 QMP AS delivers more torque, consumes less energy, and lasts much longer than a brushed motor.

Less maintenance, more battery autonomy, and reduced heat even during intensive use. It is a real advantage for long-term work sites.

3. What materials can be worked with this tool?

The ASCM 18 QMP AS handles wood, metal, plastic, light concrete, and standard masonry without difficulty.

For deep drilling in reinforced concrete, a dedicated hammer drill like the FEIN ABH 18 remains more suitable.

4. What is the 4-speed torque selector actually used for?

The 4-speed selector allows you to precisely adapt the torque to each task: fine screw driving on soft wood, metal assembly, fast drilling, or percussion.

This prevents stripping screw heads or damaging fragile materials. This is what distinguishes a professional tool from a consumer-grade one.

5. Which batteries are compatible with the FEIN ASCM 18 QMP AS?

The tool works with FEIN 18 V batteries from the FEIN AMPShare range. These accumulators are compatible with the entire FEIN 18V range.

At Dagobert Industrie, we offer the FEIN batteries and chargers suitable for completing your equipment.

6. Is the FEIN ASCM 18 QMP AS suitable for intensive professional use?

Absolutely. FEIN designs its tools for industry and construction professionals, with robustness standards that are superior to the semi-professional segment.

The compact construction, ergonomic grip, and brushless motor make it a reliable tool for busy work days.
