The MILWAUKEE® M18 FUEL™ 3/8 - inch Compact Impact Wrench with Friction Ring stands out as the most compact in its class. It offers excellent access in tight spaces and up to 250 ft - lbs of nut - busting torque. With maximum workspace visibility, this cordless impact wrench is a game - changer. Measuring just 4.8 inches in length, it's powered by a POWERSTATE™ Brushless motor. This motor gives it the muscle to remove stubborn fasteners, even in confined areas. The tri - LEDs around the anvil provide bright, shadow - free light. The 4 - Mode DRIVE CONTROL™ allows for precise control with pre - set RPM and IPM levels, selectable from a single button. Mode 4 features AUTO SHUT - OFF™, applying no more than 20 ft - lbs of torque for hand - tight fastening to prevent over - tightening. It also has Bolt Removal Control, which reduces RPMs after the bolt is loosened to avoid fastener drops. REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence electronics ensure top - notch performance and protect the tool from overloads, over - heating, and over - discharge. The M18™ REDLITHIUM™ battery pack (not included) is compatible with M18™ tools, offering more work per charge and a longer lifespan. This impact wrench can work in up to 69kV environments and is compatible with all M18™ batteries and chargers.
Using this Milwaukee impact wrench is easy. First, make sure you have a compatible M18™ battery (not included) and insert it into the tool. When you need to loosen or tighten a fastener, select the appropriate mode on the 4 - Mode DRIVE CONTROL™. For normal use, you can choose one of the first three modes based on the speed and power you need. If you're doing hand - tight fastening, use Mode 4 with AUTO SHUT - OFF™ to prevent over - tightening. When removing bolts, Mode 4's Bolt Removal Control will help you avoid dropping the fasteners. As for safety, always wear appropriate safety gear like goggles and gloves. Don't use the tool in wet or flammable environments. To maintain the tool, keep it clean after each use. Wipe off any dirt or debris, especially around the motor and the anvil. Periodically check the tri - LEDs to make sure they're working properly. If the tool isn't working as well as it should, it might be due to a problem with the battery or the electronics. In that case, you can consult the Milwaukee customer service.
