Overview
This Milwaukee 2568-20 runs on the 12 volt M12 platform, weighing close to a pound and carrying the -20 suffix Milwaukee typically reserves for bare tools sold without battery or charger.
This sits in Milwaukee's M12 platform, built for compact one-handed impact driving. At roughly a pound, it is light enough for overhead or one-handed work, and the 450 RPM figure listed here is on the low side for an impact driver, so check the listing for confirmation.
- 12 volt battery powered
- About 1 pound
- 450 RPM as listed
- Rated 4.7 stars
Who it's for
Tradespeople already invested in Milwaukee's M12 battery platform who need a compact impact driver. Not a starting point for someone with no M12 batteries, since it is sold as bare tool.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Compact, lightweight at about 1 pound
- Fits the M12 battery platform
- Sold as bare tool, likely without battery or charger

Performance notes
