Product Details

The MILWAUKEE M18 FUEL 1/2 in. Mid-Torque Impact Wrench w/ Friction Ring delivers the best power to weight ratio, most access in tight spaces, and faster removal speed. It provides 650 ft. lbs. of nut-busting torque and only weighs 5.1 lbs., making it extremely versatile, capable of performing a wide variety of applications. Its POWERSTATE Brushless Motor generates the power needed to quickly perform many tasks, such as removing large bolts or lug nuts. This cordless impact wrench is the most compact in its class, giving users access to stubborn fasteners in spaces where larger impact wrenches can't fit without needing to disassemble components to reach bolts. Tri-LEDs surround the anvil to deliver 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 35 ft. lbs. of torque for hand-tight fastening applications to prevent overtightening. Mode 4 also features Bolt Removal Control that delivers users full torque output, then decreases RPMs once the bolt is loosened to prevent fastener drops. REDLINK PLUS Intelligence ensures maximum performance, protecting the tool against overloads, over-heating, and over-discharge. The M18 REDLITHIUM battery pack (not included) fits M18 tools, delivering more work per charge and more work over the life of the pack.

                  Q:If your using it for lug nuts. Whats the recommended modes for loosening and tightening the lug nuts. I don't want to snap a lug trying for the first time. My impact is on order so I hope to get some feed back.

                  Answer This Question

                  A:  3 or 4 for loosening.  You should only snug them tight..  no rattling the lug nuts down.  Wheels should be torqued to spec. There are torque sticks that can be used in combination if you don’t have a torque wrench

                      A:  If you are looking to use it to the max torque capability you will need a good newer style battery. I believe it?s the high output or XC models. I tried using it with an older compact battery and it was too weak. But it will work still.

                      by|Jan 21, 2023

                        A:  Regular Milwaukee batteries

                          A:  All 18v milwaukee batteries will fit all 18v milwaukee tools.

                              Perfect balance between power and weight
                              I work in an industrial setting and I’m starting to see more and more of the trades use battery powered tools while out in the field. Traditionally we always used pneumatic air tools because they wouldn’t cause a spark depending on they type of work we were doing. The downside of this is having to drag air hoses up the side of columns and vessels or trying to locate an air header connection to tie into. Now that batteries have gotten so powerful and the tools so much more advanced with brushless motors, etc…. there really isn’t a drawback to using battery powered tools anymore. I can throw this Milwaukee 3/8 in. Mid-Torque Impact Wrench in my tool bag with a spare battery and work all day if necessary. This impact is much more compact also and I’m not having to fight the air hose all the time to try and angle it into a tight spot. Sometimes we get into some very precarious positions and it’s not really even a challenge anymore. This Milwaukee impact is exactly the perfect balance between power and weight. I haven’t found a single bolt that I haven’t been able to bust loose yet when I needed to. The three LED lights on the face of the impact are perfect. They put out a nice bright white light exactly where you need it. Sometimes we work in some very dark pipe rows where sunlight can’t pass through and the light really comes in handy there for sure. One other great feature is the premium gearcase rubber overmold which protects the body of the impact. It helps it from getting beat up to much while bouncing around in a tool bag, inside the truck tool box or while out working. This impact comes with a real nice plastic carrying case which has two batteries and the charger in it. I really love that the charger will do both the M18 & M12 batteries. I have the Milwaukee heated jacket and I can charge the impact battery at the same time as my jacket battery if need be. If you are looking for the perfect balance between power and weight I would definitely pick this one whether you are a DIY person or in the trades. This is by far my new favorite impact and I look forward to using it for years to come. Milwaukee knocked it out of the park on this one.

                              1/2” worth the buy
                              I bought the 3/8 and 1/2” at the same time. The 1/2” is definitely worth the buy. It has a lot of power and is so well made.

                              Shocked at how powerful this tiny tool is, I’ve used kobalt and dewalt impact wrenches and this one is far superior and is basically half the size.

                              The Best Impact Wrench
                              The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18V Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 1/2 in. is the 1/2" impact wrench I have been looking for. It is compact and easy to handle. It is only six inches long from stem or stern so you can get into spaces and places my old corded 1/2" drive impact wrench would never fit. Compared to my corded impact wrench the M!8 fuel is a bit lighter but still heftly at a little over five pounds. The battery life indicator is easy to see and use. This impact wrench features three speeds with torque specs for each speed. Up to 600 ft/lb break away torque is all I will ever need. The avil is surrounded by three bright LEDs for excellent illumination of your work area. Probably best of all it is Lithium battery powered tool. So, you don't have to lug a cord and wonder where the outlet is. The two batteries charge quickly and the first is ready to go again by time I run out the second.

                              Works Great For My 2008 Ford Ranger V6
                              I have a 2008 Ford Ranger 3.0 liter V6 wedged into a tiny engine compartment. Space it tight and it's difficult to get a spark plug wrench onto the plugs. The magnet in this socket is strong enough to preclude having to use my hands to remove the plugs after loosening them. The socket just works. The socket is well made and fits the plugs without any wobble. I especially like the insert inside of the socket that the wire side of the plug inserts into. It keeps the plug centered and helps seats the plug into the socket.

                              VERY Nice Tool
                              This is a very nice impact, it has nice features and lots of power. It’s compact size and it’s relative light weight make it very easy to use. The ergonomics are also quite good. The 3 LED lights on the front do a good job of lighting up the area you are working on. It has 4 power mode settings or as they call it “drive control”. It has low (200 ft lbs), medium (300 ft lbs) and high (550-600 ft lbs) and auto shut off. In the Auto Shut off mode in the forward position it will put out about 35 ft lbs and then stop, in the reverse direction it will break the fastener loose and then slow down for controlled removal, for things like lugnuts I find this feature very nice. There is a button on the top of the base that controls the settings, it is easy to use, but in strong sunlight it is a little difficult to see the indicator lights. I don’t know about the advertised 550 ft lbs of tightening and the 600 ft lbs of loosening, as I didn’t have any fastener/socket that would take that torque, but I was able to tighten a 36 mm axle nut to 300 ft lbs and then remove it. The 300 ft lbs was achieved using a ½ drive 36mm deep socket with an adapter to reduce it down to 3/8 drive, I know it would do more without the adapter. It came with a very nice case that is quite sturdy, also included were (2) 5.0 amp hour batteries, and a charger. I really like that the included charger does both the 12 volt and 18 volt Milwaukee batteries, so I can charge any of my Milwaukee batteries. The impact measures about 6” long from back to front and about 9” long from top to bottom, (about 11” with battery). It weighs about 3 lbs 8 oz without the battery and about 5 lbs 2 oz with the battery, The case measures about 17” x 13” x 6” and weighs about 12 lbs with the tool, charger and batteries. All in all a super nice tool that works very well.
