Great Deal

The Milwaukee 2953-20 M18 FUEL impact driver drops to $118.99, a 24% savings. It delivers 2,000 in-lbs of torque with 4-Mode Drive Control and Tri-LED lighting. Bare tool only, so M18 batteries are required.

4-Mode Drive Control with self-tapping mode
Tri-LED ring lights the work area
Compact 4.59 in. head fits tight spots

Watch out for

Bare tool - no battery or charger included
At 2.3 lbs it outweighs 12V class drivers

Tip: Already own M18 packs? This bare tool is the cheapest route into the FUEL impact driver line.

Our Take

Best for: M18 owners who want a compact, high-torque driver without buying a full kit.

The 2953-20 is Milwaukee's fourth-generation M18 FUEL impact driver, and it earns the FUEL badge. The POWERSTATE brushless motor pushes 2,000 in-lbs of torque and spins up to 3,900 RPM, enough to drive long lag bolts and deck screws without stalling out. The 4-Mode Drive Control includes a self-tapping screw mode that eases off the power once the fastener seats, which cuts down on stripped heads. Two details matter day to day. 59-inch head slides into cabinets and between studs where bulkier drivers will not fit. 0 Ah pack makes it noticeably nose-heavy during overhead work. One thing to know: this is a bare tool. No battery, no charger, no case in the box. 99 list, and if you already own M18 packs this is one of the better values in the lineup. Starting from zero, price out a starter kit first.

Price Analysis

At $118.99 this is $37 off the $155.99 list price, a 24 percent drop. Bare-tool M18 FUEL impact drivers rarely fall below $120 outside of holiday promotions, so this sits close to the floor for the model. Buy now if you need one - waiting is unlikely to save more than a few dollars.

Common Questions

Does the Milwaukee 2953-20 come with a battery?

No. This is the bare tool only - you get the impact driver by itself. It runs on any Milwaukee M18 REDLITHIUM battery, which is sold separately.

How much torque does the 2953-20 produce?

It delivers 2,000 in-lbs of fastening torque with a no-load speed of 0-3,900 RPM and 0-4,400 IPM. That is enough for lag bolts, deck screws, and heavy structural fastening.

What bits fit the 2953-20?

It uses a 1/4-inch hex quick-change chuck, so any standard 1/4-inch hex shank bit drops straight in. No chuck key or adapter needed.
