Does it come with a battery and charger?

No. It is sold as a bare tool. You need an M12 REDLITHIUM battery and an M12 charger, which are sold separately.

How much torque does it make?

Up to 220 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque from the brushless motor, which Milwaukee calls the most powerful in the cordless right-angle class.

What is Auto Shut-off Mode?

In forward, Mode 4 stops applying torque above about 15 ft-lbs so you don't over-tighten small bolts. In reverse, Bolt Removal Mode slows RPM once the bolt breaks loose.

Will it fit in tight spaces?

The head profile is 2.8 inches, so it reaches many spots where a pistol-grip impact and extensions won't fit.

What sockets does the friction ring take?

Standard 3/8-inch square drive impact sockets. The friction ring holds the socket on; there is no pin detent.

Is it good for heavy-duty work?

It handles most automotive and assembly jobs, but for sustained high-torque work a full-size 18V impact is the better tool.

What reviewers say

4.6 / 547 ratings

Owners rate it 4.6 out of 5 and praise its torque and reach in tight spots, calling it a go-to for engine-bay and suspension work. Complaints center on it being a bare tool and on the 12V platform's limits for heavy continuous use.

What people mention

TorquePraisedOwners say it busts stubborn bolts that smaller right-angle tools stall on.
AccessPraisedThe low-profile head reaches tight engine-bay and suspension spots without extensions.
Mode controlPraisedUsers like Auto Shut-off and Bolt Removal Mode for precision and control.
Bare toolCriticisedBuyers note it ships without a battery or charger, adding to the real cost.
Platform limitsMixedSome say the 12V platform is fine for most jobs but not for heavy continuous use.

About the Milwaukee 2564-20 M12 FUEL Lithium-Ion 3/8 in. Cordless Right Angle Impact Wrench with Friction Ring (Tool Only)

This is a 12V cordless right angle impact wrench with a 3/8 in. friction ring anvil. It has a POWERSTATE brushless motor that delivers up to 220 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque and 200 ft-lbs of fastening torque. The impact mechanism is designed to prevent kick-back.

The head profile is 2.2 in., so the tool fits into tight spaces and can reduce the need for socket extensions. An LED light illuminates the work area. A rubber overmold resists corrosive materials and adds comfort during use.

4-Mode Drive Control adjusts speed and impacts per minute in Modes 1 to 3. In Mode 4, auto shut-off in forward applies no more than 15 ft-lbs of torque to prevent over-tightening. In reverse, bolt removal mode slows the RPMs sharply once the bolt is loose. REDLINK PLUS Intelligence protects the tool against overloads, overheating and over-discharge. It runs on M12 REDLITHIUM battery packs, which work with all M12 tools.
