We compare the new Milwaukee Tool M18 Gen 4 FUEL ¼” Hex Impact Driver (2953-22) that was released at pipeline 2022 against the previous generation 3 M18 FUEL ¼” Hex Impact Driver.
The tool comparison consisted of various drilling and driving applications. First we used the impact driver to drive 1-5/8″ Drywall screws. We tested the self tapping function on both impact drivers while test speed while driving self tapping screws in sheet metal studs and track. We then used these M18 FUEL¼ Hex Impact Driver to set 5″ long by 1/4″ structural lag fasteners. We also used both M18 impact drivers to drill 1″ holes using Diablo Tools Speed Demon self feeding spade drill bits through dimensional lumber “wood”. The result of this tool testing are very interesting. Let us know in the comments if you be buying the new M18 FUEL™ ¼” Hex Impact Driver (2953-22)? #MilwaukeeTool #VeryCoolGang

Yo Vince I got a question about the Milwaukee M 18/4 inch hex impact drivers. They have a variable speed, the one I have in my hand is the 27 5720 CM 18 fuel one key with the variable speed 1234 and then a little Bluetooth logo. Doesn’t matter which one of these drills (1/4” impact) I have any, of them with a variable speed 1 usually run on three, the button always ends up getting hit on accident just when I’m hanging out on a limb trying to get some thing done (in an awkward position usually) and it ends up in a setting that is not allowing me to get the screw in properly, is there a way to lock out that button so it doesn’t get bumped so easily? I’ve asked the guy running the tool department at the lumber store where I get most of my stuff at, he talked to the Milwaukee rep, but the rep has no clue, useless!
I know you’ve got a lot of videos out there on Milwaukee, and maybe you’ve already gone through this, seems like something you would’ve covered being in the field all the time, and I apologize if I’m asking a stupid question, thanks a lot!
Considering the detailed comparison between the Milwaukee M18 Fuel Impact G4 and Gen3, I’m curious about the real-world impact of the improvements in the Gen4 model on daily professional use. Specifically, how do these advancements translate to efficiency and durability in long-term construction projects? Have any specific scenarios been noted where the Gen4 model significantly outperforms its predecessor?
