Overview
Milwaukee builds this impact wrench around a POWERSTATE brushless motor and a half inch square drive with a pin detent for sockets. A four-mode drive control and tri-LED ring around the anvil handle precision and visibility.
Torque is high for a compact body, and the short length reaches into tight spaces where larger wrenches would not fit. Mode four limits torque for hand-tight work and also slows once a fastener comes loose, which cuts dropped bolts. A battery is not included, and weight is listed two ways.
Who it's for
A technician who already owns M18 batteries gets high torque and fine control in a compact tool. Buyers who need maximum breakaway for stuck industrial fasteners, or who have no batteries, should look at a kit or a higher-torque class.
Pros and cons
- Brushless motor for strong output
- Pin detent holds sockets
- Four drive modes for control
- Auto shut-off protects small fasteners
- Bare tool, battery sold separately
- Weight listed two ways
- Mid-torque, not for the biggest bolts
Performance notes
The brushless motor and impact mechanism turn rotation into hammer blows, so output torque depends on battery charge and the mode selected. Mode four applies a torque limit for small fasteners and, after a bolt breaks free, reduces speed so the bolt does not drop. REDLINK PLUS electronics protect the tool from overload, overheating and deep battery discharge.
