Overview
This is an 18 volt battery-powered impact driver, model 2853-20, spinning up to 3600 RPM and weighing 2.6 pounds. The high RPM paired with a sub-3 pound weight is typical of a compact driver built for one-handed driving work.
Impact drivers trade smooth rotation for a hammering rotational action that helps drive long fasteners without stalling, and the 3600 RPM figure here is toward the fast end for that category. At 2.6 pounds, it stays light enough for overhead or one-handed use.
- 18 volt battery power
- 3600 RPM top speed
- 2.6 pound weight
- Compact impact driver format
Who it's for
Suits users who drive a lot of screws or fasteners and want a light, fast-spinning cordless driver, rather than someone who needs a heavier drill for boring holes.
Pros and cons
- Fast 3600 RPM speed for quick fastening
- Light at 2.6 pounds for one-handed use
- 18V battery power avoids a cord
- Battery and charger inclusion aren't specified in the listing
- Not suited to boring holes like a drill
Performance notes
The 3600 RPM top speed combined with the impact mechanism helps drive fasteners quickly without the bit camming out under load, which is the main advantage of an impact driver over a standard drill. At 2.6 pounds, it's light enough to use one-handed through a full session of driving screws.
