Is Milwaukee Tool’s 1″ Cordless Impact Wrench Too Good?

When ironworkers assemble a building or a bridge, they rely on large, heavy, electric impact wrenches. Milwaukee Tools has just released their M18 Cordless 1″ Impact Wrench (2867-22). With its fastening torque of 1500 ft-lbs and nut-busting torque of 1800 ft-lbs, this tool is ideal for all. It’s especially great for users that fasten bolts up to 1-3/4″ in size regularly.

The World’s Most Powerful Cordless Impact Wrench

“The M18 FUEL™ 1” High Torque Impact Wrench is the epitome of what we’re able to accomplish through M18 FUEL™ cordless technology – it’s not only the first of its kind, but it’s also the most powerful cordless impact in the world. This tremendous power breaks down so many barriers on the job site and in the shop: Users will no longer need their compressors and generators, nor will they need to spend the time and money required to maintain them. They will experience much less fatigue because this tool is much lighter than they have used during these fastening applications. And they will be able to perform their jobs without the interference of cords or hoses,” said Eric Rusch, Senior Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “There hasn’t been a cordless impact wrench like this ever.”

A brand-new POWERSTATE™ brushless motor packs more torque for demanding applications. The newly redesigned REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence drastically reduces the size of the electronics. This saves space and increases thermal capacity and communication between the tool, motor, and HIGH OUTPUT™ XC8.0 battery. Finally, the mechanism has been optimized to deliver this incredible raw power in the most lightweight package possible.

The tool is also designed with a four-mode DRIVE CONTROL™ feature. This allows users to switch between modes to match the power and speed of the application. True to all M18 FUEL™ solutions, the new M18 FUEL™ 1” High Torque Impact Wrench combines three exclusive innovations:

  1. The POWERSTATE™ brushless motor.
  2. The REDLITHIUM™ battery pack.
  3. The REDLINK PLUS™ intelligence.

To deliver the world’s first cordless one-impact wrench, Milwaukee Tool reengineered the motor and electronics packages. They did this to provide seamless communication with the battery. This also created the best performance catered to this tool and its applications.



How do you make a perfect tool better?

Milwaukee Tools added their ONE-KEY solution to the impact wrench as an added benefit. This allows customization, tracking, and managing this impact wrench and sets a repeatable torque.

ONE-KEY is the first digital platform for tools and equipment. By integrating industry-leading tool electronics with a custom-built cloud-based program, ONE-KEY™ provides a new level of control and access to information that revolutionizes work. The ability to customize, track, and manage through ONE-KEY™ fundamentally changes how users interact with their tools.

This powerful assembly tool is scheduled to be released in June 2019. Acme Tools will bring you more information as it is presented to us.
