Overview
At about 454 grams, Milwaukee's 3453-22 is built to be the light end of its impact lineup: a 12 volt tool spinning to 3600 RPM for tight-clearance driving, with the 22 kit suffix typically pairing it with a battery and charger.
At under a pound, this sits toward the lighter end of Milwaukee's impact lineup, the kind of tool picked for overhead work, cabinetry or anywhere a bulkier 18 volt driver will not fit. Running on the 12 volt platform trades some raw power for that size and one-handed control. No torque figure is listed here, so it is worth comparing against a specific fastening job before assuming it will replace a larger driver.

Who it's for
Tradespeople and DIYers already on Milwaukee's 12 volt battery platform, who want a light, compact tool for tight spaces and overhead driving, get the most out of this. Heavy lag bolts and structural fastening are better handled by an 18 volt tool, where more torque is available.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Compact, roughly 1 pound body suited to tight spaces
- 12 volt platform allows one-handed control
- No torque spec listed, so maximum fastening power is not confirmed
- 12 volt platform trades power for portability versus 18 volt tools
Performance notes
The tool spins up to 3600 RPM on Milwaukee's 12 volt platform, and at roughly 454 grams it stays light enough for one-handed use overhead or in cabinetry. No torque or impacts-per-minute figure is included in the spec data, so its fastening power relative to larger 18 volt tools is not confirmed here.
