Our take on the Milwaukee 3453-22 M12 FUEL 12V 1/4 Hex Cordless Li-Ion Impact Driver Kit

The Milwaukee 3453-22 is a 12V cordless impact driver built on the M12 FUEL platform, with a brushless POWERSTATE motor rated at up to 1,500 in-lbs of torque and 3,600 RPM in its top mode. It is only 5 inches long and about 2 lbs, so it fits into cabinet interiors, under sinks and between studs where an 18V driver will not go. A 4-mode drive control includes a self-tapping screw mode, and three LEDs light the work area. It suits electricians, cabinet installers and remodelers who want a small driver for fasteners and light lag work, and it trades outright power against 18V rivals for size and weight.

What reviewers say

Owners of the M12 FUEL impact driver line praise the size and weight for overhead and cabinet work, and most find the power enough for screws and light lags. The common complaint is that it cannot replace an 18V driver for heavy fastening.

What people mention
  • SizePraisedOwners say the short body reaches into cabinets and tight framing spots.
  • WeightPraisedUsers report little fatigue when driving overhead or carrying it on a belt.
  • PowerMixedIt handles screws and light lags well, but owners say it falls short of 18V drivers on heavy fastening.
  • LightingPraisedThe three LEDs are described as bright enough for dark work areas.
  • BatteryMixedRuntime is fine for trim work, but users note the kit batteries and charger add cost.

Questions and answers

Is this enough for deck screws and lags?
It drives deck screws and short lags without trouble. Long lags and heavy timber are better left to an 18V driver.
How does it compare with the previous M12 impact driver?
The FUEL version adds a brushless motor, more torque and the 4-mode drive control, including the self-tapping screw mode.
What comes in the kit?
The kit includes the driver, M12 batteries, a charger and a belt clip. Check the listing for the exact battery capacity.
Does it use the same batteries as other M12 tools?
Yes. It runs on any Milwaukee M12 battery, so it shares packs with the rest of the M12 line.
Can it take standard 1/4-inch hex bits?
Yes. The 1/4-inch hex chuck takes standard impact-rated bits, and bits insert with one hand.
Is it good for cabinet and electrical work?
Yes. The short body and light weight make it a common choice for cabinet installs, outlets and fixture work.
