Overview
Twelve volts and 3300 RPM put the M12 FID2 in Milwaukee's compact impact driver tier, built for tight spaces rather than raw torque. It weighs 1.63 pounds and measures roughly 7 by 3 by 8 inches.
M12 tools trade the extra power of Milwaukee's 18 volt line for size and weight, which is the trade this driver is built around. There's no torque figure in the data, so this stays a size and speed story rather than a power comparison.
- 12V M12 platform
- 3300 RPM
- 1.63 lb body weight
- About 7L x 3W x 8H
Who it's for
Tradespeople and DIYers already on Milwaukee's M12 battery platform who want a light driver for cabinets, joists, or overhead work. Not the choice for anyone needing maximum torque for large lag bolts, where a bigger platform does more.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Compact body fits tight spaces
- Light at 1.63 pounds
- Runs on Milwaukee's M12 battery platform
- 12 volt platform trades torque for size
- No torque spec listed for comparison
Performance notes
At 3300 RPM the driver is geared toward speed on smaller fasteners rather than driving heavy lag bolts. Its roughly 7 by 3 by 8 inch body and 1.63 pound weight keep it maneuverable in cabinets and framing gaps where a full-size 18 volt driver won't fit, though no torque spec is listed to weigh against larger tools.
