The MILWAUKEE® M12 FUEL™ 1/4” Subcompact Impact Wrench with Friction Ring offers the Best Underhood Access for all automotive applications. Measuring 4.4” in length and 2.0” in width, this Subcompact Impact Wrench fits into the tightest spots, minimizing the time spent on removing additional components under the hood. The M12 FUEL™ Subcompact Impact Wrench delivers up to 100 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque when paired with our M12™ REDLITHIUM™ HIGH OUTPUT™ CP2.5 Battery Pack while providing up to 50% faster application speeds, maximizing productivity in the shop. This solution excels in both performance and size. Weighing only 1.5 lbs as a bare tool, it is the Lightest Weight in its class, reducing user fatigue throughout the workweek and fitting into the tightest spaces without additional extensions, swivels, or adapters. Equipped with a Tri-LED work light, it illuminates your work area without casting shadows. The tool has a variable speed trigger with 4-Mode DRIVE CONTROL™, which offers greater precision and customization of power output, including AUTO SHUT-OFF™ that limits torque to 7 ft-lbs for hand-tight applications, preventing overtightening in forward mode. In reverse, the bolt removal mode slows down RPM once the bolt is free, preventing fastener drops in your workspace. Mode changes are effortless with single-handed operation. By shifting the forward-reverse shuttle into neutral and double-tapping the trigger, you can easily switch modes.
