Function Description

The M12 FUEL™ 1/4" Impact Wrench & 1/4" Hex Impact Driver is a versatile power tool designed for driving and removing fasteners. It operates as both an impact wrench and an impact driver, offering a 1/4" hex chuck for quick bit changes.

The impact action helps to prevent stripping screws and reduces user fatigue by minimizing kickback. It is powered by a 12V DC battery system, specifically the M12™ battery type. The tool features a variable speed trigger and a mode control button to adjust the rotation speed (RPM) and impact rate (IPM) for different applications. An LED light illuminates the work area, and a fuel gauge indicates the remaining battery charge. The tool is designed for professional use in various settings, including construction, automotive, and general maintenance.
