Our take on the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2953-20 1/4" Hex Impact Driver

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2953-20 is a compact 18V impact driver built around a POWERSTATE brushless motor and REDLINK PLUS electronics. Milwaukee rates it as its fastest and most powerful compact impact driver, with full-range driving for heavy, medium and light fasteners and a trigger that ramps up smoothly to protect fasteners and material. It uses a 1/4-inch hex quick-change chuck, fits any M18 battery, and carries a 5-year warranty. It suits tradespeople and serious DIYers already on the M18 platform; rivals like the DeWalt 20V Max and Makita 18V LXT are close in size, so the deciding factor is usually which battery system you own.

Questions and answers

Does it come with a battery and charger?
No. It is tool-only: the box has the impact driver and a belt clip. You need an M18 battery and charger, which you may already own if you use Milwaukee tools.
Which batteries does it use?
It fits all M18 batteries, from compact 2.0Ah packs to high-output versions. A compact pack keeps the tool light; a larger pack adds runtime and a bit of weight.
How does it compare with the previous M18 impact driver?
Milwaukee positions the 2953-20 as faster and more powerful than earlier compact M18 drivers, with smoother trigger acceleration. If you have an older model and it still drives your fasteners, the gain is mainly speed.
Is it good for heavy driving like lag bolts?
Yes. Milwaukee rates it for full-range driving, from light screws to heavy fasteners. For very large lag bolts, a high-output battery helps it hold speed.
What chuck does it have?
A 1/4-inch hex quick-change chuck, so it takes standard impact-rated hex bits. Use impact-rated bits, not plain drill bits.
What is the warranty?
Milwaukee backs it with a 5-year warranty on the tool.
