Our take on the Milwaukee M18 Cordless 1/4-in. Impact Driver 3.0Ah Kit (2656-21P)

The Milwaukee 2656-21P is an 18V cordless impact driver built for everyday fastening on the jobsite and around the house. It delivers up to 1,500 in-lbs of torque and 2,750 RPM through a 1/4 in. hex quick-connect chuck, and the kit includes one 3.0Ah M18 REDLITHIUM battery and a multi-voltage charger. It sits in the middle of Milwaukee's M18 impact lineup: more power than compact subcompact drivers, less bulk than the high-torque models. It suits homeowners, remodelers and trades who want one battery platform for drivers, drills and saws.

About the Milwaukee M18 Cordless 1/4-in. Impact Driver 3.0Ah Kit (2656-21P)

The Milwaukee M18 Cordless 1/4-in. Impact Driver Kit (model 2656-21P) is a cordless fastening tool for driving screws, lag bolts, and hardware. It delivers up to 1,500 in-lbs of torque, up to 2,750 RPM, and 3,450 impacts per minute. A variable speed trigger lets the user start a fastener cleanly before driving it home.

The driver has a 4-pole frameless brushed motor. It is about 5.5 inches long, which lets it fit into tight spaces such as stud bays, electrical boxes, and overhead work. A rubber overmold improves grip. The tool also has an LED light, a forward/reverse control switch, and a belt clip.

A 1/4 in. hex quick-connect chuck makes bit changes simple. The tool is part of the Milwaukee M18 battery platform, so its battery works across M18 tools. The kit includes a 3.0Ah battery, a multi-voltage charger, and a contractor bag.

Questions and answers

Is this impact driver good for home projects?
Yes. Its torque and compact size handle deck screws, cabinet work and assembly well, and the M18 battery works with other Milwaukee tools.
How does it compare with Milwaukee's Fuel impact drivers?

What comes in the kit?
The driver, one 3.0Ah M18 REDLITHIUM battery and a multi-voltage charger.
Can I use other M18 batteries with it?
Yes. It runs on any M18 battery, so larger packs extend runtime.
