Our take on the Milwaukee 3453-20 M12 FUEL Impact Driver w/ 48-11-2440 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, while the tool is about 5 inches long and 2 lbs with a battery, so it fits where full-size drivers won't. A 4-mode drive control adds a self-tapping screw mode, and a tri-LED ring lights the work. It suits electricians, cabinet installers and remodelers who want light, fast driving in tight spaces; it gives up the raw torque and runtime of an 18V driver, and the kit here pairs the bare tool with one 4.0 XC battery rather than a charger or case.

What reviewers say

  • 4.9 / 5513 ratings

Rated 4.9 out of 5 across 513 ratings, owners treat this as one of the best subcompact impact drivers available. They praise the power-to-size ratio, the light weight and the LED ring, and mostly fault the bundle for lacking a charger or case.

What people mention
  • PowerPraisedOwners say it drives long fasteners and lag screws that subcompact drivers usually struggle with.
  • SizePraisedThe short body and light weight let it fit between studs and work overhead with little fatigue.
  • BatteryMixedThe 4.0 XC pack gives good runtime, but buyers note the bundle includes only one battery and no charger.
  • LightingPraisedThe tri-LED ring is called bright and well placed for seeing the bit in dark cabinets and crawlspaces.
  • ModesPraisedThe self-tapping screw mode is singled out for preventing overdriving in metal work.

Questions and answers

Is this a kit with a charger?
No. The bundle includes the impact driver, one M12 REDLITHIUM XC 4.0 battery and a belt clip. You need a separate M12 charger, or an existing one from the M12 system.
How does it compare with the previous M12 impact driver?
It is shorter and lighter than earlier M12 impact drivers and adds a fourth drive mode for self-tapping screws. Torque is rated at 1,500 in-lbs, higher than the older generation.
Will it handle lug nuts or heavy automotive work?
No. At 1,500 in-lbs it is a subcompact driver for screws and fasteners, not a replacement for a high-torque 1/2-inch impact wrench.
Does it work with all M12 batteries?
Yes. It is compatible with all M12 batteries and chargers, so existing M12 packs work in it.
What comes in the box?
The M12 FUEL 1/4-inch hex impact driver, one 48-11-2440 M12 REDLITHIUM XC 4.0 battery pack and an all-metal belt clip. No case or charger is included.
Can I use standard 1/4-inch hex bits?
Yes. It takes standard 1/4-inch hex bits and is compatible with the Milwaukee 49-16-3697 bit holder.
