Great product. Have purchased other Milwaukee tools in the past and have always been satisfied with the performance.

This new cordless Impact Driver tool from Milwaukee is by far one of the best tools I’ve had the pleasure of using in many years. Absolutely does the job that it is intended for, and was light enough even for my own use. The Impact Driver came with two battery packs and a multi-use charger. I even charged my flashlight battery along with the driver’s batteries. The added ONE-Key feature to lock and protect your investment is a great feature. Just knowing that you can track your tools, and lock them remotely is worth the price of this unit. My son got to try it out and is totally impressed with the quality and detail to attention that Milwaukee tools provide. We were able to select between all four custom drive modes as we were testing it out. The added LED light is exactly what is needed in many tight places. It goes out in 5-10 seconds after the power is terminated. I can certainly attest to the true quality of the Milwaukee products as the best available, in my opinion. Great product to be considered by all interested Home Depot buyers.

“This is the right tool for the job!” That’s what I thought after using this tool to work on my snowblower’s impeller. I needed to attach an extension with self-tapping screws and had previously tried with my cordless drill, but wasn’t able to get done. The compact size of this unit coupled with its power, made the job something that I could handle without having to curse the snowblower designers. Getting my drill around the auger and into the area where the impeller is installed had me trying to get into positions that my body didn’t like – for days! The smaller size of the impact driver made it much easier to get in a tight spot. Reading the specs. didn’t make me appreciate just how compact it is but take a peek at the picture I’ve attached and see for yourself.When researching this impact driver, I learned that it is the fastest and most compact tool in its class and has 30% faster driving speed (more power!!!). There’s a smartphone application that allows you to customize how the tool works. For example, for self-tapping screws, you enter the screw diameter and length, the type of screw head and size (8, 10, 12, etc.) and the driver will stop when it senses that the screw is seated. That can save damage to the fastener and prolong the life of the driver. You can save your customizations in a library for future use too!The application also lets you manage the tool in another way – if you have workers that use your tools and they report this as being lost, you can remotely disable it! Since this scenario doesn’t apply to me, I don’t know if I’ll use it but it’s nice to know that it exists.I had no problem with battery life on my other Milwaukee tools and don’t anticipate a problem with this one. Because it’s a “smart” tool, it protects itself from overloads and overheating. The LED that lights the work area was greatly appreciated when I was trying to drive in those self-tapping screws and didn’t have to try to fasten a flashlight to the auger somehow! This is an awesome tool and who deserves it more than you? This would be an outstanding Holiday gift!

Excellent impact Driver. I love the way you can adjust torque speeds per setting and has a gps.

This is one of the handiest power tools ever. Milwaukee has such a wide range of bits for this, I find myself reaching for it, just about every time I work on something. Not just for driving fasteners, but for removing/installing the skid plate on my truck, so that can change the oil and filter. My chainsaws have some long screws that need to be removed for maintenance, this save a lot of time. It’s always in my bag when going out to make repairs here or my son’s place. It’s very well built and powerful when you need it to be. I like the spare bit holder on the side too. It’s nice to have bits handy, without having to dig through your pocket or tool box for another one. Standing on a ladder makes you appreciate that little holder even more. It uses the popular M18 battery system that operates so many other tools. These tools have a well established reputation in the workplace. They have surely made my life easier. This one has the One-Key feature that is especially useful in the business world. It allows you to easily track who has it and where. It’s a great inventory tool. With all of that, you can also change the settings to better suit the application of different fasteners, ramp up speed and maximum speed. These settings are helpful timesavers, especially if you’re using the same fasteners in the same material repeatedly. There are tons of tips and ideas on-line that gave me ideas I didn’t think about. It’s very well built and is going to help me in so many ways.

This is the most replete kit yet for a 1/4-inch impact driver. The catalog # 48-59-1812 charger is the latest in smart charging technology with complete function indicator light menu. (Also charges compact batteries such as used in heated gear.) Two catalog # 48-11-1820 2.0 Ampere-hour battery packs get you well on your way to being productive. Those lightweight batteries yield readily to 5.0 Ampere-hour and larger battery packs for extended run time. The heart of the system is the model 2857-20 driver. Generally it appears to be based on the model 2653-20 (with the same great controls and excellent ergonomics) but with significant increases of no-load speed from 2900 to 3600 RPM and blow count from 3600 to 4300 IPM. Opposite the ambidextrous belt clip, one can affix a bit holder. In addition, the tool accepts a lanyard. Even more impressive is the addition of One Key features. At first glance I thought this only was for contractors with huge tool fleets seeking to control their inventory. However, I learned that One Key has desirable features for however many tools you own. Firstly, it can pre-program your tool. Like changing the duration of the work light illumination; or designating what mode the tool starts in. That’s most useful for lending a tool to a technician for a specific task. It also simplifies the use of two or more tools to complete steps as one used to with accessories like uni-bits (and all the clutch setting fumbling in-between). The One Key application can reposit purchase information and date-in-service to establish service / preventive maintenance intervals and determine warranty coverage. The tool also can be locked (as a theft deterrent). The tool can be made to blink when seeking to locate it within a tool horde or among many in, say, a gang box. There actually is a GPS-like function which could differentiate where a tool was between my house, garage, truck, shop and outbuilding. So, with that degree of resolution, I am confident one can locate and retrieve a tool among various gang boxes on a construction site. (It likewise will alert me to retrieve borrowed tools from my son’s house!) All this is packed in a nifty blow molded case which sets up nicely on a bench or ledge as a charging station. The new polymer is tougher and supports more functional closure clamps and a sturdier handle. There is a space for everything, including a literature slot. In summary, it’s a lot of power and features in a terrific package.

Love this tool!!! With the ability to change settings to fit whatever task I have, it frilly is amazing! Not many 1/4” impacts can keep up with the workload that metal work needs but this one gets the job done. You won’t be disappointed

This is one powerful tool. You have to fire up your smartphone to activate it, along with creating an account with Milwaukee. Very good quality. I installed a hanging shelf in the pole barn and had to drive 2.5″ lag screws into the rafters. I had it on low, there are 4 settings, and it drove them with ease. I thought it was slow till I saw the different speeds. The battery has a meter, push the button and it will be full with 4 lights. It is heavy, but very well built. Felt the quality in it. I had it on a 10 foot ladder and it fell off onto the cement. Picked it back up and went back to work. Didn’t even see any issues with the drop.
