Our take on the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2953-20 Impact Driver

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2953-20 is an 18V brushless 1/4-inch hex impact driver built for pros who drive a lot of fasteners. Its four-mode drive control includes a self-tapping screw mode that reduces walking and overdriving, and REDLINK PLUS electronics smooth the trigger for small fasteners. Tri-LED lighting rings the collet to cut shadows. It is one of the fastest and most powerful drivers in its class, and it runs on the M18 battery system shared with over 200 tools. It suits trade users already on M18; casual users may find it more tool than they need.

About the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2953-20 Impact Driver

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2953-20 is a 1/4 in hex impact driver with a Powerstate brushless motor. It is built for driving fasteners across a wide range of applications and drives faster than any other impact driver Milwaukee offers without giving up power or control.

REDLINK PLUS intelligence gives smooth acceleration for small fasteners, which helps prevent stripped screws and damaged materials. Four-mode drive control lets you adjust output speed and power. Self-tapping screw mode is designed to reduce walking when you start self-tapping screws. It also reduces overdriving, breaking and stripping of screws.

Tri-LED lighting illuminates the work area and eliminates shadows. The driver runs on M18 REDLITHIUM battery packs and is part of the M18 system, which is compatible with over 200 solutions.

It has a 1/4-inch hex quick-change chuck that takes standard 1/4-inch hex driver bits.
