Overview
The Milwaukee 2953-20 is an 18 volt cordless impact driver spinning up to 3900 RPM and weighing about 2.2 pounds. The -20 model number marks it as a bare tool, sold without battery or charger like other Milwaukee M18 tools in this batch.
At under 2.5 pounds, this impact driver is built for extended one handed use on fastening tasks like driving screws or lag bolts. It shares the M18 battery platform with Milwaukee's other tools, so current owners can add it without buying a new charger. One attribute in the listing, an amperage figure in the thousands, does not match a plausible tool spec and looks like a data error, so it is left out here.
- 3900 RPM top speed
- About 2.2 pound tool weight
- 18 volt M18 platform
- Bare tool, battery sold separately
Who it's for
Fits Milwaukee M18 owners adding a dedicated impact driver for fastening work, from framing to deck building. Less suited to a first time cordless buyer, since no battery ships with the bare tool.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
