The Milwaukee 2563-20 M12 FUEL Stubby 1/2" Impact Wrench is a compact cordless impact wrench built for tight spaces. It delivers up to 550 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque from Milwaukee's M12 battery system, yet weighs only 2.2 lbs bare. The POWERSTATE brushless motor and 4-mode DRIVE CONTROL, including Auto Shut-Off and bolt removal mode, give precise control. Owners praise its power-to-size ratio and portability, though some note it cannot replace a full-size impact for the toughest jobs.

Reviewers give the Milwaukee 2563-20 high marks for its power and compact size, often calling it a game-changer for tight spaces. Many appreciate the lightweight design and useful drive modes. A few mention that it struggles with very stubborn bolts and that the mode button can be awkward.
The Milwaukee M12 FUEL Stubby 1/2" Impact Wrench is a compact cordless impact wrench with a POWERSTATE brushless motor. It delivers up to 550 ft-lbs of torque and 0-3,000 RPM. The bare tool weighs 2.2 lbs and is 4.90 inches long, so it can fit into tight spaces.
It has 4-Mode DRIVE CONTROL for adjusting speed and power output. Auto shut-off mode applies no more than 15 ft-lbs of torque in forward for hand-tight applications and prevents overtightening. In reverse, bolt removal mode slows the RPM once the bolt is free so it doesn't fly around the work area. To change modes with one hand, shift the forward-reverse shuttle into neutral and double-tap the trigger.
Three LEDs light the work area with fewer shadows. A friction ring socket retention system reduces downtime when accessories are changed often. A Battery Isolation System secures the battery connection and reduces vibration transmitted to the pack.
