The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 1/4" Hex Impact Driver bare tool introduces unmatched fastening velocity, industrial-grade torque density, and ultra-refined electronic calibration directly to your structural assembly tool belt. Purpose-built to slam heavy-gauge wood lags and self-tapping metal screws home without forcing you to wrestle bulky tool footprints, this premium 1/4-inch hex impact driver unleashes a staggering 2,000 in-lbs of maximum structural torque and clocks in at an industry-leading 3,900 RPM max free speed. It provides mechanical installation teams, electrical contractors, sheet metal installers, and cabinet builders with a perfectly balanced cordless asset optimized to drive long timber screws and self-piercing fasteners continuously without motor lag.
Elite material management and flawless workplace tracking form the core of this fourth-generation M18 FUEL™ powerhouse.

The layout includes an advanced 4-Mode DRIVE CONTROL™ panel with a dedicated Self-Tapping Screw Mode, which runs at peak velocity to punch cleanly through heavy metal studs, then drops rotation speeds down the millisecond the threads grab hold to prevent stripping out structural pockets. Outfitted with a premium Tri-LED lighting surround array that floods your work area with bright, shadowless illumination, this lightweight tool handles your toughest shifts effortlessly.
