Does it come with a battery and charger?

No. This is the tool-only version, so you need a compatible M12 battery and charger, sold separately.

How much torque does it make?

Up to 550 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque, with 0-3,000 RPM and up to 3,300 impacts per minute.

What size anvil does it have?

A 3/8-inch anvil. For heavy 1/2-inch-class fasteners, a larger impact is the better fit.

What is DRIVE CONTROL?

A four-mode setting that includes auto shut-off and a bolt removal mode to avoid over-tightening small hardware.

How big and heavy is it?

It is 4.8 inches long and 2.2 lbs bare, so it fits tight engine bays and suspension areas.

Which batteries does it use?

It runs on Milwaukee's M12 battery platform, so existing M12 packs work with it.

About the Milwaukee 3/8 Impact Wrench STUBBY M12 Tool Only

The Milwaukee 2562-20 is a compact cordless 3/8 in impact wrench from the M12 FUEL line. It loosens and tightens automotive, mechanical and installation fasteners. It is sold as a bare tool, without a battery or charger.

A POWERSTATE brushless motor delivers up to 550 ft-lbs of torque, with a no-load speed of 0-3000 RPM and up to 3300 impacts per minute. The tool is 4.8 inches long and weighs 2.2 lbs without a battery. Its short body is made for tight spaces such as engine bays, wheel wells and suspension hardware.

4-Mode DRIVE CONTROL lets the user choose output for different hardware. In forward, auto shut-off mode applies no more than 15 ft-lbs for hand-tight applications and helps prevent over-tightening. In reverse, bolt removal mode slows the tool once the fastener breaks free. Tri-LED work lights improve visibility around the socket. A battery isolation system gives a more secure battery connection and reduces vibration passed into the pack.
