Our take on the Milwaukee 2656-22CT M18 Cordless 1/4" Hex Impact Driver Tool Kit

The Milwaukee 2656-22CT is an 18V cordless 1/4-inch hex impact driver kit built around Milwaukee's 4-pole frameless motor. It delivers up to 2,750 RPM, 3,450 IPM and 1,500 in-lbs of fastening torque, which Milwaukee claims is the most power in its compact class. REDLINK Intelligence manages overload protection across tool, battery and charger, and an LED light and metal reversible belt clip round it out. It suits tradespeople and serious DIYers who drive long runs of screws and lag bolts and want a compact body with top-end torque; rivals like DeWalt's atomic and Makita's compact impacts are lighter or smaller but generally rated lower on torque.

Questions and answers

How does it compare with Milwaukee's newer M18 impact drivers?
Newer M18 models add multi-speed modes and slightly higher torque figures. This one still delivers 1,500 in-lbs and 2,750 RPM, so it holds up for most driving tasks.
What is in the box?
The 2656-20 impact driver, two M18 compact REDLITHIUM batteries, a multi-voltage M18/M12 charger, a belt clip and a contractor bag.
Does it work with other M18 batteries?
Yes. It runs on any M18 battery, so larger-capacity packs give longer runtime than the two compact batteries in the kit.
Is it good for lag bolts and decking?
Yes. At 1,500 in-lbs it handles lag bolts and long deck screws that lighter compact drivers struggle with.
Does it have speed settings?
No. It is a single-speed variable-trigger driver, so control comes from trigger pressure rather than a mode selector.
What bit size does it take?
It uses standard 1/4-inch hex bits, the common size for impact driver accessories.
Where is the Milwaukee 2656-22CT M18 Cordless 1/4" Hex Impact Driver Tool Kit cheapest?
At Red Tool Store, for $199.00, as of our latest check.
