Best-in-class impact wrench from Milwaukee makes a big impact

The M18 FUEL™ high-torque impact wrench with friction ring has been engineered by Milwaukee for use by the most demanding tradesmen in the world. It is distributed locally by leading supplier Upat.

The M18 ONE FHIWF34 FUEL™ impact wrench with ONE-KEY™ is the most powerful cordless impact wrench in its class, delivering up 1 627 Nm of fastening torque. Its compact size of 213 mm provides for even greater access in confined spaces.

The M18 ONE FHIWF34 FUEL™ impact wrench comes standard with ONE-KEY™ technology. The ONE-KEY™ app is a digital platform for tools and equipment that allows users to customise, track, and manage their power tools. The added benefit is that ONE KEY™ allows for the tool to be set up for specific applications. The app, a free-to-use inventory management program, is available for download for iOS and Android devices.

Milwaukee Product Specialist Werner Koch adds that the tool’s POWERSTATE™ brushless motor outperforms competitors due to its constant power output. The REDLITHIUM™ M18 B5 battery pack delivers more work per charge, and more work over pack life than any other battery. An onboard REDLINK PC board monitors each cell for load and temperature, meaning less downtime and a longer tool life.

Milwaukee’s proprietary four-mode DRIVE CONTROL™ feature allows users to shift into four different speed and torque settings to maximise application versatility. These settings can also be customised using the ONE KEY™ app. REDLINK PLUS also ensures maximum performance and protection from overload, overheating, and over-discharge.

The tool’s Mode 4 bolt removal function, provides for a maximum nut-busting torque of 2 034 Nm and then shifts to 750 rpm, after the bolt is loosened, thereby ensuring unmatched control when removing fasteners. Additionally, Koch points out that the M18 ONE FHIWF34 FUEL impact wrenches’ integrated blow counting sensor enhances the consistent repeatability of the chosen torque setting.

“This 18 V RED lithium-ion high-torque impact wrench offers quick, tool-free socket changes, with a 3/4 inch friction ring anvil, providing for added operator comfort levels during extended use owing to its contoured soft grip,” Koch concludes.
