Our take on the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 1/2 in. Compact Impact Wrench with Friction Ring

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 1/2 in. Compact Impact Wrench is a cordless, brushless impact wrench built for lug nuts and heavy fastening in tight spaces. It delivers up to 3,000 in-lbs of fastening torque, 2,400 RPM and 3,500 IPM, with a friction ring anvil for quick socket changes. It is shorter and lighter than Milwaukee's full-size High Torque model, so it fits where a big wrench will not, though it gives up peak torque. It suits mechanics, DIYers and fleet or farm users already on the M18 battery platform; the tool ships as a bare tool, so batteries and charger are extra.

Questions and answers

Does it come with a battery and charger?
No. It is sold as a bare tool, so you need an M18 18V battery and charger, or a kit version.
Will it remove lug nuts on a car or truck?
It handles most passenger-car and light-truck lug nuts. Very tight or rusted fasteners on heavy trucks may need Milwaukee's High Torque model.
What is the difference from the M18 FUEL High Torque wrench?
This compact version is shorter and lighter with 3,000 in-lbs of fastening torque. The High Torque model is larger and delivers more torque for stubborn bolts.
What socket drive does it use?
It has a 1/2 in. square drive with a friction ring anvil, so standard 1/2 in. impact sockets fit.
Does it have a light and variable speed?
Yes. It has a built-in LED light and a variable-speed trigger, plus 3,500 impacts per minute.
Which M18 batteries work with it?
Any Milwaukee M18 18V lithium-ion pack works. Larger packs add runtime but also weight.
