MILWAUKEE, WI- Milwaukee Tool just elevated the productivity for users who fasten up to 1-3/4” bolts with the introduction of the first and only cordless 1” high torque impact wrench. An incredible breakthrough for cordless power tool technology, the M18 FUEL™ 1” High Torque Impact Wrench w/ ONE-KEY™ is also the world’s most powerful cordless impact. It utilizes advanced M18 FUEL™ technology to deliver up to 1800 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque while remaining 7 lbs lighter than the leading corded option currently available.

 “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 jobsite and in the shop: Users will no longer need their compressors and generators, nor will they need to spend the time and money needed to maintain them. They’ll experience much less fatigue because this tool is much lighter than what they have been using during these fastening applications. And they’ll be able to perform their jobs without the interference of cords or hoses,” said Eric Rusch, Senior Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “There simply hasn’t been a cordless impact wrench like this ever before.”

True to all M18 FUEL™ solutions, the new M18 FUEL™ 1” High Torque Impact Wrench combines three exclusive innovations – the POWERSTATE™ brushless motor, REDLITHIUM™ battery pack, and REDLINK PLUS™ intelligence. However, to deliver the world’s first cordless 1” impact wrench, Milwaukee® reengineered the motor and electronics packages to deliver seamless communication with the battery and the best performance catered to this tool and its applications.

A brand-new POWERSTATE™ brushless motor packs more torque for demanding applications, while redesigned REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence drastically reduces the size of the electronics to save space and increase 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, providing users the versatility to switch between modes to match the power and speed for the application.

As an added benefit, ONE-KEY™,** provides the ability to customize, track and manage this impact wrench, as well as set a repeatable torque.

Milwaukee® is committed to improving productivity by providing performance-driven and trade-focused solutions so users can perform an entire day’s work on one battery system. This new tool is part of the M18™ System, now offering more than 175 power tool solutions.

*M18 FUEL™ is engineered for the most demanding tradesmen in the world. Delivering unrivaled performance, all M18 FUEL™ products feature three Milwaukee®-exclusive innovations—The POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, REDLITHIUM™ Battery Pack and REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence Hardware and Software—that deliver unmatched power, run-time and durability on the jobsite. Simply put, M18 FUEL™ tools are the most powerful 18V cordless tools in their class.

**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 the way work gets done. The ability to customize, track, and manage through ONE-KEY™ fundamentally changes the way users interact with their tools.
