The Milwaukee 3453-22 is a subcompact 1/4-inch hex impact driver built on the M12 FUEL platform. Its brushless POWERSTATE motor is rated the fastest in its class, and at 5 inches long with a CP 2.0 battery it fits where full-size drivers cannot. Three LEDs ring the bit for shadow-free light in cabinets and crawlspaces. It suits cabinet installers, electricians and homeowners who want a light driver for screws and small fasteners, and it trades peak torque for size against 18V drivers. Owners rate it highly for power-to-size and battery life.
