Overview
A mechanic working in tight engine bays gets a compact half inch impact wrench in this Milwaukee. It runs on eighteen volt batteries and has a fixed square head and a friction ring for holding sockets.
A short body suits confined work where a full-size impact wrench will not fit. The limitation is that the listing's torque figure is unusually low and no battery or charger is mentioned.
Who it's for
Automotive work in confined areas suits a compact body. Heavy-duty bolt removal needs a high-torque impact wrench.
Pros and cons
- Friction ring holds sockets
- M18 FUEL platform
- Polished alloy steel
- Torque figure looks low
- Battery not mentioned
- Included components line cut off
Performance notes
Impact action delivers rapid torque pulses suited to medium bolts, and the friction ring holds sockets during use. Runtime and power depend on the battery attached.
