About This Product

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 1/2 in. Compact Impact Wrench with Friction Ring is the most compact in its class, delivering users the most access in tight spaces, up to 250 ft./lbs. of nut-busting torque, and maximum workspace visibility. This battery-powered impact wrench measures only 4.9 in. L with a POWERSTATE Brushless motor to provide the power to remove stubborn fasteners, even in confined spaces. The Milwaukee 1/2 in. impact wrench has tri-LEDs that surround the anvil to deliver users brighter light with fewer shadows. 4-Mode DRIVE CONTROL offers greater precision with a range of pre-set RPM and IPM levels, selectable from a single button on the tool. By selecting Mode 4, AUTO SHUT-OFF control applies no more than 20 ft./lbs. of torque for hand-tight fastening applications to prevent overtightening. Mode 4 also features Bolt Removal Control delivers full torque output, then decreases RPMs once the bolt is loosened to prevent fastener drops. REDLINK PLUS Intelligence electronics make these controls possible while ensuring maximum performance, protecting the tool against overloads, over-heating, and over-discharge.

Very disappointed - this M18 compact impact wrench only has 250 ft-lbs of torque, but the M12 Stubby impact wrench has 550 ft-lbs of torque(!)

Answer This Question

Why does this M18 Fuel Impact Wrench have only 250 ft-lb but the M12 Fuel Stubby has 550 ft-lb? When is there an update to have an M18 Fuel Compact Impact Wrench with similar or better torque?
ByDec 15, 2025

Answer This Question

The M18 Fuel Compact Impact Wrenches (like the 2855 series) are optimized for size and control in tight spaces, not maximum torque. They’re meant for tasks where a mid-torque or high-torque wrench would be overkill. The M12 Fuel Stubby (2555 series) is a specialty tool designed to deliver maximum torque in the smallest form factor, so it pushes the limits of the M12 platform for niche applications like automotive work

      It should without issue, I don't own this exact tool but I have a brushed 18v 1/4" hex bit driver that will take off lug nuts with a 1/4" hex X 3/8" socket adapter just fine in most cases. This tool has more power so it should just fine.

        Yes . Used it on my Duramax 2500.

          Will need an impact rated adapter that reduces from 1/2 to 3/8 see part# 49-66-6725

            Not unless you have a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter

                I love how the Milwaukee M18 feel 18 V brushes Corliss impact gun feels with lots of power great for working on cars. It feels very smooth I love it. I recommend it
                by
                This drill was easy to assemble, lightweight and quiet. I'm really pleased with the battery life and was able to use the drill for over an hour of heavy use without having to charge it...

                Terrible delivery, as only (4) of (5) ordered Milwaukee 1/2” drive compact impacts with impact socket sets were delivered, it may be FedEx again not delivering all packages. However, Home Depot cust. service has given me nothing but the run around for 2-weeks and i reported the missing item the day I opened the order. There were (4) impact socket sets in one box, (4) impact socket sets in one box and (1) another, and NOT enough room in those boxes to hold another compact impact kit which was and still is missing.

                Not my first rodeo
                This is my second compact 1/2” impact, I worked the life out of the last one and needed a replacement to help in those harder to reach areas.

                  I got this for some small things on my van, but honestly it has handled any nut on this thing. It's rusty and corroded all over and this impact handles it all with ease, I dont even use the high output batteries. For is size i don't think any other brand comes close. Will be buying the sub compact as well if this one is so good. Had it for a few weeks but its better than I thought by far. Picked up some of the impact sockets as well, way cheaper than snap on and they work better in my opinion.

                  This was a very nice product for a very good deal I could not pass it up the shipping was quick even though it was during the holiday if you want a bargain you need to check Home Depot before any where else there was other deals for same price except they didn’t come with the charger it is a very reliable and dependable tool I would recommend it to anyone that uses sockets
                  by
                  This is the best impact wrench I’ve ever used. Powerful and the extra batteries were a great deal. I highly recommend this Milwaukee item.
                  by
                  The compact size is perfect for fitting into tight spaces. It does not have a "ton" of torque but that is not what it is intended for. Milwaukee makes bigger units if you are needing more torque. For being a 3/8's drive, this has plenty of torque and it will do almost any automotive work. I also have the M18 1/2 drive unit and I use it when I need more torque to loosen or tighten bigger nuts and bolts.
                  by
                  Cannot beat the price for this 3/8 impact. Completed my truck pack out box. Highly recommend this to anyone looking.
