Overview
Anyone who wants a short, light impact driver for tight spots can look at this Milwaukee FUEL model. The listing describes a one quarter inch hex drive, variable speed and a small body.
The reason to buy is high torque in a compact tool, with four speed settings for control. The limit is the bare tool listing and a muddled component line that mentions unrelated drills.
Who it's for
Automotive, cabinet and equipment work with limited reach is the setting. Without a compatible battery already on the shelf, budget for one.
Pros and cons
- High torque for the size
- Four speed settings
- Compact and light body
- Hex drive for common bits
- Bare tool, battery separate
- Component line is confusing
- Drilling capacity in wood is small
Performance notes
The impact mechanism adds short rotational hits that drive fasteners without twisting your wrist. Four speed settings let you start slowly and finish fast. Battery capacity sets how many fasteners you drive per charge.
