Overview

Milwaukee built the 2953-20-NBX around 18 volt power and a brisk 3,900 RPM, in a body light enough at 35.2 ounces (about 2.2 pounds) for repeated one handed use on the job.

3,900 RPM is a brisk speed typical of impact drivers and wrenches built for repeated fastening rather than precision drilling. At 2.2 pounds it stays light enough for one handed overhead or repetitive use, an advantage in a tool meant to be picked up and set down constantly on a job site. The listing does not specify torque output, so peak fastening power for large lag bolts is not confirmed.

  • 18 volt battery power
  • 3,900 RPM drive speed
  • 35.2 ounce (about 2.2 lb) weight
  • From Milwaukee, model 2953-20-NBX

Who it's for

Fits tradespeople, contractors or serious DIYers who need a fast driving cordless tool for repeated fastening tasks. Casual users doing occasional light assembly likely do not need the speed or 18 volt power this tool offers.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Fast 3,900 RPM drive speed
  • Light at 2.2 pounds for repeated use
Cons
  • Peak torque not listed
  • Battery inclusion not specified

Performance notes

The 3,900 RPM speed at 18 volts points to quick, high cycle fastening rather than slow, high torque driving, useful when speed through many fasteners matters more than a single powerful strike. At 2.2 pounds it is light enough to reduce arm fatigue during extended use. Peak torque is not listed, so its ceiling on the largest fasteners is not confirmed by the specs given.
