Buy it if
- FUEL brushless motor delivers 1,700 in-lb torque and 3,600 RPM on the impact driver
- Compact drill at 5.7 inches and 2.3 lbs, excellent for overhead and tight-space work
- All-metal gear case and 1/2-inch metal chuck for professional-grade durability
Skip it if
- Higher price point than DEWALT equivalents, especially at full retail
- 2.0Ah batteries included are small for heavy all-day use, upgrade to 5.0Ah recommended
- Some community reports of the 2953 FUEL impact driver having durability issues
“I upgraded my impact to the fuel this spring...best decision I've made. It's lighter, smaller, more power, and insane battery life. Rarely had to use the drill as the fuel driver sunk just about everything.”r/MilwaukeeTool
