                  Lightweight, small and powerful. I’ve been in the trades for over 35 years and this is by far my favorite and most used tool.
                  by
                  I bought this M12 impact driver (3453-20) out of necessity when my last one stopped working after over 10years of hardworking punishment in the hvac trade. Too my surprise the model number is the same as my original one which made the purchase a simple decision. I love the small size and big power, it's comfortable, works in freezing wintwr temperatures and hot summer weather. I really have no complaints. I hope this new one lasts as long as my previous one.
                  by
                  Small and quick and strong
                  I have a million Milwaukee tools. This is 100,000,001 and it’s great. Bought it specifically for the tiny size. It’s strong and quick, everything I need! I love it, glad I decided to pick this up.
                  by
                    I'm very happy with my purchase. The included 2.5 battery is strong enough for the form factor. I got it on sale for $100. Money well spent
                    by
                    This drill was exactly what I was looking for. It is very small in size. It is able to use the smallest M12 battery. The quality of the materials is outstanding and it seems to perform flawlessly. It has a lot of power for being such a small driver. I would highly recommend getting this for any craftsman or people doing smaller jobs.
                    by
                    This compact m12 1/4” impact is quickly becoming one of my favorite m12 tools in my collection. It has impressive power for its small size and when coupled with a 1/4” hex to square adapter it is perfect for automotive applications. I would definitely purchase this one again.
                    by
                    Fantastic small impact, has loads of power for how small the form factor is. The trigger is pretty responsive so low torque applications on speed 1 is a breeze. I have not noticed a power difference between the 5 amp and 2.5 amp hour battery, so you can keep the weight down and just use the 2.0 or 2.5 battery on it and will do just fine. Attached picture reference of size between my ancient 18v drill and how small the 12v impact is. For a home owner/diyer this is perfect.

                    Best driver on the market!
                    I have several Milwaukee tools, and the hex impact driver stands out for its impressive power and durability. The battery life is exceptional, making it ideal for my DIY projects. As a student at a local HVAC school and part time HVAC apprentice, I rely on this driver for all my hands-on tasks. It offers excellent value for the investment.

                      Just recently got this tool it’s been great so far it feels solid. It works like it should and made the job way easier, definitely happy with it and would buy again.

                      Small and powerful
                      I haven’t put my 12v impact driver to the test yet. I do garage doors and I went w/a half charged 4A and undid some hinge screws and messed around a little bit on my garage door. All I can say is…WOW! It already seems more powerful and faster than my 18v Makita. I’ve had Makitas for 12 years now and have 14 batteries and many different tools. I love them but I’ve decided to cheat a little and go w/just my main tool the “impact driver”. I think it’s gonna be great for hinge/self tapping screws and lags up to 3”. I’m excited to get some work done this week…bring it on!!!
