- Is this wrench powerful enough for lug nuts?
- Yes. It is built for high-torque fastening and owners routinely use it on lug nuts and suspension bolts. Use the lower drive-control modes for smaller fasteners so you do not overtighten or snap them.
- Does it come with a battery and charger?
- The bare-tool version does not. Kits that include batteries and a charger exist, so check which configuration you are looking at before buying.
- How does it compare with the mid-torque M18 impact wrench?
- The high-torque model delivers more breakaway torque and is heavier and larger. The mid-torque is easier to handle in tight spaces but gives up power on stubborn fasteners.
- What size drive does it have?
- It uses a 1/2-inch anvil, the common size for automotive and heavy-equipment sockets. Anvil style varies between friction ring and pin detent, so match it to how you want sockets to lock on.
- Can it strip or snap bolts?
- It can if you use full power on small fasteners. The drive-control modes and a light trigger hand help you avoid damage on lighter hardware.
- Which batteries does it use?
- It runs on Milwaukee's M18 18V batteries. Higher-capacity packs give longer runtime, and the tool works with the packs you already own if you are on that platform.
- Where is the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18V Lith-Ion Brushless Cordless High-Torque Impact Wrench cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $669.00, as of our latest check.
