Milwaukee Tool Introduces the Industry’s Most Powerful Right Angle Impact Wrench

Gear 17 March 2020

MARKHAM, ON — By harnessing the portable productivity, performance, and run-time of M12 FUEL™ technology*, Milwaukee Tool is proud to introduce the industry’s most powerful right angle impact wrenches – the M12 FUEL™ Right Angle Impact Wrenches. As the first brushless Right Angle Impact Wrenches on the market, the new impact tools provide users with more torque output than any other cordless or pneumatic solution.

“When completing applications that allow limited access, professionals are limited to using pneumatic or brushed-motor right angle impacts. However, the limited portability and torque associated with these solutions has been a frustration for these users,” said Eric Rusch, Group Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “Due to our extensive research with users on the jobsite and in the shop, we saw an opportunity to create a cordless solution that not only boasts the benefits of no compressors, hoses, and routine maintenance, but is also equipped with a low-profile design and higher torque to tackle these types of applications.”

Available in 3/8” and ½” sizes, the new M12 FUEL™ Right Angle Impact Wrenches are the most powerful right angle impact wrenches on the market. Equipped with a long body profile, the impact wrenches provide more access and ultimate control in hard to reach applications. The low-profile head of only 2.8 inches in length easily fits into tight spaces and allows users to be more productive, decreasing the need for socket extensions commonly used with pistol-grip impact tools.

The M12 FUEL™ Right Angle Impacts’ POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor delivers up to 220 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque, removing stubborn bolts and fasteners. When paired with Milwaukee’s REDLINK™ Intelligence and REDLITHIUM™ CP2.0 Battery Pack, the Right Angle Impacts have the power and speed to tackle various applications without dips in performance.

Designed with a four-mode DRIVE CONTROL™ feature, users have unmatched control and the versatility to switch between modes to match the power and speed necessary for the application at hand. All four modes allow for maximum precision control, with the 4th featuring an Auto-Shut Off Mode to prevent over-fastening of bolts, and bolt removal mode for more control after bolt breakaway.

The new M12 FUEL™ Right Angle Impact Wrenches join the M12™ Cordless System, the largest sub-compact system on the market, focused on delivering industry-leading durability and power in the tightest spaces. Currently the M12™ System is made up of more than 100 solutions.

*M12 FUEL™ power tools are designed, engineered, and built to deliver extreme performance and productivity. All M12 FUEL™ products feature three Milwaukee®-exclusive innovations—the POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, REDLITHIUM™ Battery Pack and REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence Hardware and Software—that deliver unmatched power, run-time and durability on the jobsite. Simply put, M12 FUEL™ tools are the most powerful sub-compact cordless tools in their class.
