Description

The M12 FUEL™ 1/4 in. Hex impact driver once again raises the bar for 12 V performance with best in class driving speed, power, and size. By focusing on productivity, this impact driver gets the job done faster by being over 20% faster in application speed vs. the competition. This tool outputs over 1,300 in-lbs of torque that allows the user to get more work done by completing a wide range of fastening. Measuring only 5.1 in. in length allows for unmatched access in tight spaces. The POWERSTATE brushless motor delivers up to 0-3, 300 RPM with constant power output to drive screws faster. REDLINK PLUS intelligence is the most advanced electronic system on the market, preventing damage to the tool and battery caused by overloading or overheating. For use with M12 REDLITHIUM compact batteries or extended capacity batteries (sold separately), which deliver more work per charge and more work over the life of the pack than competitive batteries on the market. The 4-mode drive control provides greater control over output speed and power for greater versatility by delivering 0-1, 300 RPM in mode 1, 0-2, 400 RPM in mode 2 and 0-3, 300 RPM in mode 3. Mode 4 is self-tapping screw mode which is designed to reduce walking when starting self-tapping screws as well as reduce overdriving, breaking and stripping out screws.

Impressive performance
I use this tool for work and so far I’ve been extremely impressed with the performance. Most of the work involves using self tapping screws for fastening to metal surfaces so having the right tool for the job makes the task much less tiring and time consuming. I bought the 2453 before this and while it’s great, it would struggle with difficult tasks like driving a self tapper into thicker metal or a 5” deck screw into wood. This thing is in another league than the 2453 power-wise and it’s kicked ass on everything I’ve thrown at it so far. The self tapping screw setting is great for getting it started but it will usually not have enough torque to completely drive it in so my procedure is to get it about half way, then switch to “3” which has more than enough power. I use it with the XC 4.0 battery so I’m not sure how much that boosts performance but like I’ve said it’s handled everything from self-tappers to deck screws, 9/16 bolts, and even drilling into solid concrete with a carbide drill bit (which got it pretty hot but it never stopped or slowed down). My team uses Milwaukee, DeWalt, Ryobi and Rigid tools and we’ve all been impressed by this little guy. It’s every bit as powerful as our older 18v Milwaukee (non-brushless) driver which is pretty neat. Despite being small this is a pretty hefty little tool which might be the only downside. Sure it’s light and compact but the DeWalt is definitely lighter. Still it’s no big deal considering the additional power and the ergonomics are really nice with the prominent palm swell on the grip. This is for the tool only, no fancy box or accessories. Normally this is sold in a set so finding one by itself at your local Home Depot probably isn’t going to happen. Besides the price is fair and mine arrived in perfect condition. ... show more

Powerful little impact...
Most of my cordless tools are Makita 18V, but I have been collecting M12 tools because they are smaller and compact. Also so I can fill in the gaps. This impact has been on my wishlist for a while and finally decided to buy it. Happy I did. I picked this one because it is brushless and I wanted the different torque settings. This is one tough little impact. Better than I thought it would be. Drives 2-1/2" deck screws through 2X4's easily and quickly. Used it most of the day yesterday and it did everything I needed and more. Used a small battery and it gave me plenty of juice. If I were to give a very detailed review, there is one small thing I noticed... while it is not uncomfortable, this tool does not feel as "nice"in my hand as my Makita's. I think it is because the grip area is a little bigger (has to be for the battery) and the grips are not as soft and rubbery as my Makita's. Not a big deal, just trying to be as detailed as possible. Overall, happy I picked it up and I know I will be using it alot. ... show more

Great impact that fits in your tool pouch.
I purchased this unit as a smaller lighter more maneuverable unit to supplement my bigger 18v and 20v units. When it arrived I was very impressed to find that yes this unit is small, light (fits in electricians belt pouch), and yet almost as powerful as my 20v DeWalt. It does a great job of sinking 3 inch deck screws, self drillers in sheet metal, impact use for assembly/disassembly. This unit has great torque and excellent battery life, would it be my first choice if I'm shooting 3½inch screws in a deck all day long? Not necessarily, but it could do the job, you would be changing batteries frequently, but I'm sure it would hold it's own. A couple small things I don't like as much, only 1 single LED for the work light built in, the LED is quite bright, but there is only one and it can be blocked in small spaces, I looked the ring of 3 LEDs on some competing units better. Also the handle shape too some getting used to, I'm sure there's size and shape is dictated by battery placement and size, I did get used to it but I still wish it was a little less cumbersome through the handle. Torque is easy to adjust with a couple of button presses you have great control over how hard this hits so you can confidently sink wood screws in 2x4's or seat self drilling screws with out overtightening. ... show more

Awesome impact! Great size to power ratio!
Really liking this impact so far. I'm an HVAC tech and work on mostly commercial equipment. This impacts size to power ratio is excellent! I can throw it in my tool bag and have it with me all the time. I was unable to fit the M18 inside my bag and would regularly leave it in my truck to minimize weight in my bag. It has just about the same power as my older M18, the battery last long (using the M12 2.0) and overall it feels like a quality tool. The 4 modes are awesome! A lot of the time I find myself leaving it on 2 because 3 has so much power but it's nice to have the extra torque when you need it. Can't speak to durability since I just got it but it feels pretty tough. If your looking for a smaller lighter impact this is a total win! Update 11/1/19: Impact is still going strong, I've dropped and abused the thing and it just keeps trucking along. Best impact I've owned. Period Update 2/26/21: This thing just won't quit! It has been banged up, dropped, in the rain and it still works just as good as the day I got it ... show more

This is a good small job impact driver.
I am a Makita guy but needed some tools Milwaukee offered in the 12V lineup so I decided to go with the Milwaukee tool line for everything 12V. I am also a handyman and use tools all day. This little driver is perfect for my tool belt, it is lightweight and compact and I hardly know it is there. While it will drive 3" decks screws, it peters out after about 30 or so (I was not really counting) but for small jobs like door hardware, blinds, and even electrical devices this thing rocks. I love it that it can stay in my toolbelt. It has a speed/torque setting on the top, which worked perfectly for tuning it down for electrical devices. I am probably going to get the drill too, as a lightweight combo they would work great instaling blinds and such and when working overhead with your hands in the air all day this little tool is a blessing. ... show more

Great little impact
Works very well. I am impressed with the power for a 12 V. It is almost as good as an 18 V but way lighter and smaller. It was brand new in the bag no box but I got the instructions. Exactly what I bought and expected! I am using six amp hour knock off I m12 batteries.

As good as 18v
Excellent tool. Lightweight, compact, and extremely powerful. Can keep up with with my 20v dewalt impact, no problem. The grip is a bit on the large size, so you might want to try one out before buying. If you have small hands it may feel awkward to you. The battery life is excellent, even with the most compact battery. I found it to be well-balanced and feels natural to use. Like I said - feels every bit as strong (and fast) as any 18/20v impact I've tried. Switchable speeds is a nice bonus too. Only gripes: wish it had more of a "ring style" or multiple LEDs. The single LED is just okay. As mentioned, the grip might be weird for you if you have small hands. The belt clip is kind of "sharp", if that makes sense. Ultimately, I ended up getting rid of mine as I'm already pretty deep into the Dewalt 20v system and just wanted to stick with one type of battery, but I would highly recommend it to anyone. If money allows I'd like to pick another up someday. ... show more
