Our take on the Milwaukee 3453-20 M12 FUEL Impact Driver w/ 48-11-2425 M12 Battery Pack

The Milwaukee 3453-20 is a subcompact 1/4-inch hex impact driver built on the M12 FUEL platform. Its brushless POWERSTATE motor delivers up to 1,500 in-lbs of torque and 3,600 RPM, in a body about 5 inches long and 2 lbs with a battery. A 4-mode drive control includes a dedicated self-tapping screw mode, and tri-LED lighting covers the work area. It suits cabinet installers, electricians and remodelers who work overhead or in tight spaces and already own M12 batteries. Against 18V drivers it gives up peak torque; against other subcompacts it is among the shortest and lightest, and owners rate it highly for power-to-size.

  • SizePraisedReviewers highlight the short head and barrel for fitting between studs and into cabinets.
  • WeightPraisedUsers report less arm fatigue during overhead and ladder work.
  • Battery lifeMixedThe included compact pack is fine for light jobs but drains fast under continuous driving.
  • Kit contentsCriticisedBuyers note the box lacks a charger and case, so it only suits people already on M12.
  • ModesPraisedThe self-tapping screw mode and speed settings are called useful for consistent fastening.

Questions and answers

Is this a good driver for cabinet and trim work?
Yes. The short body and light weight make it easy to control in cabinets and overhead, and the self-tapping screw mode helps avoid overdriving.
How does it compare with an 18V impact driver?
It gives up peak torque to 18V models but is much shorter and lighter. For most fastening under 1,500 in-lbs it keeps up; for heavy lag bolts an 18V tool is the better pick.
What comes in the box?
The driver, one M12 REDLITHIUM HIGH OUTPUT CP2.5 battery pack and a belt clip. No charger and no case are included.
Does it work with other M12 batteries?
Yes. It is compatible with all M12 batteries and chargers, so larger packs extend runtime at the cost of weight.
Does it have a clutch?
No mechanical clutch. Torque is managed through the 4-mode drive control, including the dedicated self-tapping screw mode.
How much torque does it make?
Up to 1,500 in-lbs, with 3,600 RPM and 4,000 impacts per minute in the top mode.
