Does it come with a battery and charger?

The 2854-20 is normally sold as a bare tool. Some bundles include an M18 Redlithium XC 5.0 battery, but a charger is usually separate. Check the listing contents before buying.

How does it compare with the 1/2-inch M18 impact wrench?

The 3/8-inch model is shorter and lighter, which helps in tight engine bays. The 1/2-inch version delivers more torque for lug nuts and heavy fasteners but is bulkier.

What is auto shut-off mode for?

Mode 4 applies no more than 20 ft-lbs and then stops, so you can snug small fasteners without overtightening them. It is handy for valve covers, brackets and trim bolts.

Will it remove stuck suspension bolts?

With up to 250 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque it handles most 3/8-inch fasteners, but heavily rusted or oversized bolts may still need a breaker bar or a 1/2-inch wrench.

Does it work with all M18 batteries?

Yes. It is compatible with every M18 battery and charger, though compact batteries keep the tool shortest and lightest.

What sockets fit the friction ring anvil?

Any standard 3/8-inch drive impact socket. Use impact-rated sockets, since chrome sockets can crack under the torque.

About the Milwaukee 2854-20 M18 FUEL 3/8" Impact Wrench

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 3/8" Compact Impact Wrench with Friction Ring is a cordless impact wrench that measures 4.8" in length for working in tight spaces. A POWERSTATE brushless motor delivers up to 250 ft-lbs of torque. Three LEDs surround the anvil to light the work area with fewer shadows.

4-Mode DRIVE CONTROL sets output speed and power with pre-set RPM and IPM levels, selected with a single button on the tool. Mode 4 includes auto shut-off, which applies no more than 20 ft-lbs of torque for hand-tight fastening and prevents overtightening. Mode 4 also includes bolt-removal control, which delivers full torque and then slows the RPMs once the bolt is loosened to prevent fastener drops.

REDLINK PLUS Intelligence electronics make these controls possible and protect the tool from overloads, overheating and over-discharge. The wrench works in environments up to 69kV and is compatible with all M18 batteries and chargers.
