- Is 250 ft-lb enough for car lug nuts?
- Yes for most passenger cars, whose lugs are typically torqued to 80-150 ft-lb. Check your owner's manual, and use a torque wrench for final tightening.
- Does the 5.0Ah battery fit other Milwaukee tools?
- Yes. It is a standard M18 pack and runs any M18 tool, from drills to saws.
- What's in the box?
- The kit pairs the 3/8-inch impact wrench with a 5.0Ah M18 battery and a charger. Confirm the exact contents on the listing before ordering.
- Should I get the 1/2-inch high-torque instead?
- If you work on trucks, suspension or rusted bolts, yes; the 1/2-inch high-torque M18 delivers far more torque. For general car work, the 3/8-inch is lighter and more compact.
- Does it have speed or torque modes?
- Milwaukee's 3/8-inch impact has variable-speed trigger control. Mode count varies by model number, so check the specific listing.
- When is it cheapest?
- M18 kits usually drop during holiday sales and Milwaukee promotions. Watch the price history and buy below the recent range.
