Our verdict

A short, strong driver for fasteners with several speed steps. The listing names only the unit and a guide, so confirm if a battery is included.

Overview

Not a full size drill, this Milwaukee model is a compact brushless impact driver. The listing gives four speeds and a high torque rating, with the driver and an instruction guide as the included components.

The reason to buy is high torque and four speeds in a short body that reaches tight places. The limit is the unclear battery situation, since the components line names the driver and guide only.

Who it's for

Decking, cabinet work and automotive repair are the situation. Anyone without a compatible battery should plan to buy one, because the components line does not include it.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • High torque for the size
  • Four speed settings
Cons
  • Battery inclusion not clear
  • Drill bit capacity figure looks unusual
  • Chuck size listing is unusual

Performance notes

The impact mechanism adds short rotational hits that seat fasteners without twisting your wrist. A brushless motor wastes less energy as heat, which helps battery run time. Four speed settings let you match control to the job.
