Overview
The Milwaukee 2853-20 is an 18 volt cordless impact tool spinning up to 3600 RPM, weighing 1.14 kg and measuring 8.5 by 5 by 4 inches.
Milwaukee's -20 suffix on this model number typically marks a bare tool listing, sold without a battery or charger, so buyers on an existing M18 platform can add it without paying for cells they already own. The compact 8.5 inch length and roughly 2.5 pound weight point to a driver meant for tight, one handed access.
- 18 volt M18 battery platform
- 3600 RPM speed
- 1.14 kg (about 2.5 lb)
- 8.5" L x 5" W x 4" H
Who it's for
Fits anyone already running Milwaukee's M18 battery platform who needs an impact driver for driving fasteners in tight spaces. Less of a fit for someone starting from scratch who needs a battery and charger included.
Pros and cons
- Compact 8.5 by 5 by 4 inch body
- Light at 1.14 kilograms
- Fast 3600 RPM speed
- Runs on the widely used M18 platform
- Bare tool, battery typically sold separately
- No torque figure listed
Performance notes
At 3600 RPM on an 18 volt battery, the 2853-20 is built for speed driving fasteners rather than heavy duty impact wrenching, and its 1.14 kg weight combined with an 8.5 inch length supports use in confined spaces where a full size drill won't fit.
