Overview
The Milwaukee 3453-20 is a battery-powered impact tool built for the 12 volt platform, drawing 2 amps and spinning up to 3600 RPM while weighing 1.61 pounds. The -20 model suffix marks it as a bare tool, sold without battery or charger.
Milwaukee's 12 volt line targets tight spaces and one-handed jobs where a full-size 20 volt impact would be overkill, and the 1.61 pound weight reflects that compact intent. Because this is a bare tool listing, anyone without an existing M12 battery and charger will need to add them separately to use it.
- 12 volt M12 platform
- 3600 RPM no-load speed
- 1.61 pound tool weight
- Bare tool, battery sold separately
Who it's for
Suits tradespeople and DIYers already invested in Milwaukee's 12 volt M12 battery platform who want a compact impact for tight or overhead work. Not a fit for anyone starting from scratch without a compatible battery and charger already on hand.
Pros and cons
- Compact 1.61 pound weight for tight spaces
- 3600 RPM for fast driving
- Fits existing M12 battery platform
- Bare tool, no battery or charger included
- 12 volt platform trades some torque for size
Performance notes
At 12 volts and 3600 RPM, this tool is built for speed and maneuverability in confined spots rather than maximum torque, which is the general tradeoff of the compact platform versus full-size 20 volt tools. The 1.61 pound weight keeps it comfortable for overhead and one-handed use over a work session.
