Our take on the Milwaukee 2854-20 M18 FUEL 3/8" Compact Impact Wrench w/ Friction Ring

The Milwaukee 2854-20 is a cordless 3/8-inch impact wrench built on the M18 FUEL platform, with a POWERSTATE brushless motor and a body just 4.8 inches long. Milwaukee rates it at up to 250 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque, which puts it among the strongest compact 3/8-inch wrenches while staying short enough for engine bays and tight undercarriages. It suits mechanics and technicians who want one-hand access in cramped spots, and it runs on the same M18 batteries as the rest of the line. The trade-off against full-size 1/2-inch impact wrenches is lower peak torque, and against smaller 1/4-inch drivers it is heavier and bulkier.

About the Milwaukee 2854-20 M18 FUEL 3/8" Compact Impact Wrench w/ Friction Ring

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2854-20 is a cordless 3/8-inch impact wrench with a friction ring. It is 4.8 inches long, so it fits into tight spaces such as engine bays and narrow undercarriages. It is sold as a bare tool.

A POWERSTATE brushless motor delivers up to 250 ft-lbs of torque. A Tri-LED light ring around the anvil lights the work area and reduces shadows. A button selects one of four DRIVE CONTROL modes, which set the speed and impact rate.

AUTO SHUT-OFF limits fastening torque to 20 ft-lbs to prevent over-tightening. Bolt Removal Mode sharply lowers the RPM once a fastener breaks free, so it doesn't drop. REDLINK PLUS electronics protect the tool from overheating, overloading and over-discharge.

Questions and answers

Does the 2854-20 come with a battery?
It is sold as a bare tool, so battery and charger are separate unless a bundle is offered. It runs on any M18 battery.
How much torque does it make?
Milwaukee rates it at up to 250 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque from its brushless motor.
What size sockets does it take?
It uses 3/8-inch drive sockets, held by a friction ring.
How does it compare with the 1/2-inch M18 impact wrenches?
It is shorter and lighter but makes less peak torque, so heavy truck and suspension work still favors a 1/2-inch high-torque model.
Is it good for lug nuts?
It can loosen many passenger-car lug nuts, but tightly torqued or rusted fasteners may need a higher-torque wrench.
What is in the box?
The bare tool includes the wrench itself; batteries, charger and case are sold separately unless bundled.
Where is the Milwaukee 2854-20 M18 FUEL 3/8" Compact Impact Wrench w/ Friction Ring cheapest?
