Our take on the Milwaukee M18 Compact Brushless 1/4" Hex 3-Speed Impact Driver

The Milwaukee M18 Compact Brushless 1/4" Hex Impact Driver is a bare-tool cordless driver rated at 1,700 in-lbs of peak torque and 3,600 RPM, with a three-mode drive control for matching power to the job. It weighs 1.7 lbs without a battery and uses Milwaukee's M18 18V lithium-ion packs, which charge in about 22 minutes on a rapid charger. No battery or charger is included, so the price reflects the tool only. At $74.79 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, it sits well below what M18 Fuel drivers typically cost, though that is a single-store low and other stores price it higher.

Pros
  • 1,700 in-lbs of peak torque is strong for a compact driver
  • Three speed modes let you drop power for delicate fasteners
  • Brushless motor runs cooler and lasts longer than brushed
  • 1.7 lbs and 4.4 in long, easy to use overhead
  • Shares the M18 battery platform with the rest of the line
Cons
  • Bare tool: no battery or charger in the box
  • 2 Ah pack listed means short runtime on heavy driving
  • Not a Fuel model, so it trails the top M18 driver on torque
  • Single 1/4 in hex chuck, no 1/2 in square drive option

Questions and answers

Is this a good price for the M18 compact impact driver?
At $74.79 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, it is a low price for a bare-tool M18 brushless driver. Expect to pay more at the other stores that list it new.
Does it come with a battery and charger?
No. It is a bare tool, and the listing shows zero batteries included. You need an M18 18V pack and charger, which you may already own if you are in the M18 system.
How does it compare with the M18 Fuel impact driver?
The Fuel version delivers more torque and is built for heavy daily use. This compact brushless model is lighter and cheaper, and fine for most driving and assembly work.
What is the three-mode drive control for?
It lets you cap speed and torque so you do not strip small screws or overdrive into soft material. Switch to the top mode for full 1,700 in-lbs on lag bolts and deck screws.
What size bits does it take?
It has a 1/4 in hex chuck, so it takes standard 1/4 in hex shank bits. It does not accept 1/2 in square drive sockets without an adapter.
When is it cheapest?
Bare-tool prices tend to drop during holiday sales and when Milwaukee runs battery promotions. Check the price history before buying if you are not in a hurry.
