Bare-Tool Milwaukee 2650-20 M18 18-Volt Impact Driver (Tool Only, No Battery)

Bare-Tool Milwaukee 2650-20 M18 18-Volt Impact Driver (Tool Only, No Battery) Review



I have many of the M18 cordless tools. I can't sing the praises of these tools enough - especially this impact driver.

-It is truly compact - goes places the drill/driver can't.
-It is quite light - including with the full size battery attached.
-It has tons of torque, and has never failed me. It has so much muscle, my full size Milwaukee 120v. impact drill is rarely used anymore. The M18 drill/driver/impact plays second fiddle to this little impact driver.
-In the last ten months it has smoked through thousands of 2-1/2" torx screws, 500 5" torx lags, 250 7" torx lags, 5,000 1-1/2" washer-head screws, and lots more.
-It has been dropped, kicked around, and generally mistreated by willing, but occasionally clumsy, helpers. It keeps chattering away to this day.
-When it comes to fasteners, it is the clearly preferred by everyone that has put some time on it, and is now the first tool that disappears for tasks.
-The batteries (have three of them 'tween all the tools used) have been excellent and without fault. Fantastic number of screws driven per charge. See my other review on the M18 XC batteries.
-The trigger gives me all the control I would expect of a non-clutched driver.
-You get used to the forward/reverse switch location. Like it much better than the old 120v hole hawg location.

An absolute animal, and to think it was a "free" add-on in the Milwaukee kit I purchased. I would never have thought it would turn into THE most used and loved tool of all.

Milwaukee WAKE UP!!!!!!! - Brad Kanner - N.E. Tennessee
I have been a die hard Milwaukee tool owner for over 35 years but I have just gotten to my breaking point. I am switching brands, I am either going to start buying DeWalt, Makita, Hitachi, or Panasonic. I own 3 old 18v Milwaukee NiCad tools and I own 2 V18 hammer drills and 1 V18 large Impact driver and I bought a new Milwaukee compact Impact driver just the other day from Amazon. I was thinking that my V18 batteries would fit, but when I received the tool I found out it uses a different type of battery. It uses a new design called M18. It certainly wasn't Amazons fault, it was mine. I didn't read carefully enough and just assumed it would use the v18 batteries. Milwaukee needs to wake up and stop bringing out new models of batteries, (let me rephrase that) Milwaukee should bring out better battery technology but use the same coupling. In other words standardize the way your batteries hook up to your tools. I just don't want to lug 3 different chargers around and 2 different job site radios. Another thing why does Milwaukee make a job site radio that doesn't charge the battery and also my jobsite radio only uses NiCad batteries not V18 or M18 batteries. I will be selling all my cordless Milwaukee tools next week after I change tool companies. But I will keep all my corded Milwaukee tools because I believe they are the best, even though I don't use them on job sites. I will however still buy from Amazon.com because they are the best all around company to by power tools and everything else. I mean they have the biggest selection and free shipping with most of what they sell as long as the product is over .00. Amazon is a GREAT company.






Great Tool - Robert D. Hartley - usa
Got the tool in a timely manner, just before New Years. Works great. Excellent companion to my MIlwaukee driver-drill. It came with the pocket hanger clip but not the bit holder, both of which mount on the side of the lower handle, just above the battery. Called CPO about the shortage. Haven't heard any more from them nor have I seen the part arrive in the mail. Somewhat disappointed as small bits are what makes this tool handy. It would be nice to have a spare onboard. Satisfied so far. Thanks.



Works great. - Thomas L. Boyer - Portland, OR
I already had a drill/driver using the same batteries, so this addition fit. The impact driver works great on deck screws, etc. Screwheads and bits hold up much better.
