Is this wrench strong enough for lug nuts?

It can loosen many passenger-car lug nuts, but it is not rated for heavy truck or overtightened fasteners. For those, use a breaker bar or an 18V impact wrench.

What is included in the kit?

The kit includes the wrench, two 2.0Ah M12 batteries, a charger and a carrying case.

Does it use the same batteries as other Milwaukee 12V tools?

Yes. It runs on the M12 battery platform, so it shares packs and chargers with other Milwaukee M12 tools.

What size sockets does it take?

It has a 3/8-inch anvil drive, so it takes standard 3/8-inch impact sockets. Use impact-rated sockets, not chrome hand sockets.

How does it compare with an 18V impact wrench?

It is smaller and lighter but delivers less torque. Choose it for tight spaces and light fastening; choose 18V for heavy suspension and lug nut work.

Our take on the Milwaukee 2454-22 M12 Fuel 3/8" 12V 2.0Ah Li-Ion Cordless Impact Wrench Kit

The Milwaukee 2454-22 is a 12V cordless impact wrench in Milwaukee's M12 Fuel line, with a 3/8-inch anvil drive and two 2.0Ah batteries in the kit. Its brushless motor and compact body make it a light tool for tight engine bays, suspension work and light assembly, where a full-size 18V wrench is too bulky. It trades peak torque for size against 18V impact wrenches, so it suits small fasteners rather than lug nuts on heavy trucks. Owners of the M12 platform value that it shares batteries with their other Milwaukee 12V tools.
