Does it come with a battery and charger?

No. It is sold as a bare tool; the M18 REDLITHIUM battery pack and charger are not included and must be bought separately or already owned.

How much torque does it make?

It delivers 650 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque. Mode 4's AUTO SHUT-OFF caps output at 35 ft-lbs for hand-tight fastening.

What is the difference between this and the High-Torque model?

The High-Torque M18 FUEL makes more torque for the heaviest bolts but is larger and heavier. This mid-torque trades some peak power for a compact, lighter body.

What socket drive does it use?

It has a 1/2-inch anvil with a friction ring (hog ring) that holds sockets in place for quick changes.

Is it good for lug nuts?

Yes. Owners use it for lug nuts and suspension bolts, and the Bolt Removal Control reduces RPM once a fastener loosens to help prevent dropped nuts.

Does it fit other M18 tools' batteries?

Yes. It runs on the M18 REDLITHIUM battery pack, which is shared across the M18 tool line.

About the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 1/2" Mid-Torque Impact Wrench

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 1/2" Mid-Torque Impact Wrench is a cordless impact wrench with a friction ring on the anvil for quick socket changes. It produces 650 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque. At 6 inches long, it is the most compact in its class and fits in tight spaces where larger impact wrenches can't.

A POWERSTATE brushless motor drives it, and it is suited to jobs like removing large bolts or lug nuts. Three LEDs surround the anvil to light the work area with fewer shadows. REDLINK PLUS Intelligence protects the tool from overloads, overheating and over-discharge.

A single button on the tool selects one of four DRIVE CONTROL modes, each with preset RPM and IPM levels. Auto shut-off limits torque to 35 ft-lbs for hand-tight fastening to prevent overtightening. Bolt Removal Control delivers full torque, then lowers the RPMs once the bolt is loose to prevent fastener drops. It runs on M18 REDLITHIUM batteries, which are not included.
