Our take on the Milwaukee 3453-20 12V Fuel 1/4" Cordless Hex Impact Driver (Bare Tool)

The Milwaukee 3453-20 is the M12 Fuel subcompact 1/4-inch hex impact driver, sold as a bare tool with no battery or charger. Its brushless motor delivers up to 1,500 in-lbs of torque and up to 3,600 RPM in Mode 3, in a body about 5 inches long and roughly 2 lbs with a CP 2.0 Ah battery. A 4-mode drive control includes a dedicated self-tapping screw mode, and three LEDs light the work area. It suits trades and DIYers already on the M12 platform who want the smallest, fastest driver for cabinet, electrical and overhead work, trading the raw power of 18V drivers for access and weight.

What reviewers say

Owners rate the M12 Fuel impact driver highly for its size, speed and light weight, and many call it their most-used tool. Complaints center on it being a bare tool and on the limits of 12V power for heavy fastening.

What people mention
  • SizePraisedOwners say the short body gets into tight spots bigger drivers cannot reach.
  • SpeedPraisedReviewers call it fast for a subcompact, especially in the higher modes.
  • WeightPraisedUsers like the low weight for overhead work and all-day belt carry.
  • BatteryMixedIt is a bare tool, and owners note compact packs keep it short while larger ones add bulk.
  • PowerMixedTorque is strong for 12V, but users say big lag screws still want an 18V driver.
  • Drive modesPraisedThe self-tapping screw mode is singled out for reducing cam-out.

Questions and answers

Does it come with a battery and charger?
No. It is a bare tool: the box holds only the impact driver. You need an M12 battery and charger, which you may already own if you are on the platform.
How does it compare with the previous M12 Fuel impact driver?
It is shorter and faster, with a 4-mode control that adds a self-tapping screw mode. Torque is rated at 1,500 in-lbs.
Will it drive lag screws and deck screws?
It handles most deck and self-tapping screws well. For long, large lag screws, an 18V driver has more reserve power.
What bit does it take?
A standard 1/4-inch hex bit. There is no 1/2-inch square anvil, so sockets need a hex adapter.
How big is it?
About 5 inches long and 7.6 inches tall with an M12 CP 2.0 Ah battery, at roughly 2 lbs.
Which M12 batteries fit?
Any M12 battery fits. Compact CP packs keep it shortest and lightest; larger packs add runtime and bulk.
