Our take on the Milwaukee 2855P-20 M18 FUEL 1/2" Compact Impact Wrench w/ Pin Detent, Bare Tool

The Milwaukee 2855P-20 is a cordless 1/2-inch compact impact wrench built on the M18 FUEL platform. Its headline is size: 4.9 inches long, which Milwaukee calls the most compact in its class, paired with up to 250 ft-lbs of fastening and nut-busting torque from a brushless POWERSTATE motor. A 4-Mode DRIVE CONTROL adds a 20 ft-lb AUTO SHUT-OFF mode for hand-tight fastening and a Bolt Removal Control that slows the anvil once a fastener breaks loose. It suits mechanics and trades who already own M18 batteries and want a light, short wrench for engine bays, suspension and tight chassis work; rivals like the DeWalt and Makita compact 1/2-inch wrenches trade some length or torque for their own battery ecosystems. The pin detent anvil holds sockets securely but needs a tool to release them, which some owners find slower than a friction ring.

What reviewers say

  • 4.8 / 5245 ratings

Rated 4.8 out of 5 across 245 ratings, owners consistently praise the compact size and the torque it delivers for its footprint. The pin detent anvil draws the most complaints, with some users finding socket changes slower than a friction ring.

What people mention
  • SizePraisedOwners say the short 4.9-inch body gets into engine bays and tight chassis spots that full-size wrenches can't reach.
  • TorquePraisedReviewers report it breaks loose and tightens fasteners well for a compact 1/2-inch wrench, up to its 250 ft-lb rating.
  • Pin detentCriticisedSome owners find the pin detent anvil slower for socket changes than a friction ring and want a tool to release sockets.
  • LightingPraisedThe tri-LED ring around the anvil is described as bright and even, with fewer shadows in tight spots.
  • Drive modesPraisedUsers like the 4-Mode DRIVE CONTROL, especially the low-torque AUTO SHUT-OFF mode for hand-tight fastening.
  • Bare toolMixedBuyers note it arrives without a battery or charger, which is fine for M18 owners but adds cost for newcomers.

About the Milwaukee 2855P-20 M18 FUEL 1/2" Compact Impact Wrench w/ Pin Detent, Bare Tool

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 1/2" Compact Impact Wrench with Pin Detent is a cordless impact wrench built for tight spaces. It is 4.9" long. A POWERSTATE brushless motor delivers up to 250 ft-lbs of fastening and nut-busting torque.

Tri-LEDs surround the anvil to light the work area with fewer shadows. A 4-Mode DRIVE CONTROL system offers preset 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 helps prevent overtightening. Mode 4 also has bolt removal control. It delivers full torque, then slows the RPMs once the bolt is loosened to prevent fastener drops.

REDLINK PLUS Intelligence electronics enable these controls. They also protect the tool against overloads, overheating and over-discharge. It is a bare tool, so the M18 REDLITHIUM battery pack is not included. It works with all M18 batteries and chargers.

Questions and answers

Does the 2855P-20 come with a battery?
No. It is a bare tool, so no battery or charger is in the box. It runs on any M18 REDLITHIUM pack you already own.
How much torque does it make?
Milwaukee rates it at up to 250 ft-lbs of fastening and nut-busting torque. That is compact-wrench territory, not full-size lug-nut duty.
What is the difference between the pin detent and friction ring versions?
The pin detent locks the socket onto the anvil through a hole in the socket, so it won't pull off. The trade-off is that you need a pin-pusher to change sockets.
What does AUTO SHUT-OFF mode do?
Mode 4 caps torque at about 20 ft-lbs for hand-tight fastening so you don't overtighten small fasteners. It also includes Bolt Removal Control, which slows the anvil after breakaway.
Will it remove lug nuts?
It can loosen many passenger-car lug nuts, but it is a compact wrench. For repeated or heavy lug-nut work, a full-size high-torque impact wrench is the better fit.
Which batteries fit it?
Any Milwaukee M18 battery pack fits. Smaller packs keep it light and compact; larger packs add runtime and weight.
