Milwaukee quietly launched a new M18 brushless high torque impact wrench last year, and it went on sale during the holiday season.
At the time, you could buy the impact wrench with a battery, charger, and tool bag for $299.
It was an okay bargain – I included mention of it in our Black Friday deal roundups, but it wasn’t a hot enough deal to receive greater attention in its own post.
While not as powerful or featured as the flagship M18 Fuel model, the brushless high torque impact wrench still delivers up to 1200 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque, and 800 ft-lbs of fastening torque.
Things are different this year, as Milwaukee upgraded the deal to be a better value.
Now, instead of just the impact wrench kit for $299, they’ve thrown in an M12 cordless ratchet (3/8″) and a battery. Since the impact wrench is normally kitted with a multi-volt M18/M12 charger, you’re good to go.
This isn’t the first M18 impact wrench and M12 cordless ratchet holiday deal bundle that Milwaukee has offered, but it looks to be the first to have a brushless impact wrench.
The kit comes with:
- M18 2666-20 brushless 1/2″ high torque impact wrench w/ friction ring
- M18 4Ah battery
- M18/M12 multi-voltage charger
- Tool bag
- M12 3/8″ ratchet
- M12 1.5Ah battery
You can find this deal at Home Depot (kit 2666-22RH), and Acme has a similar deal where you buy the impact wrench kit (2666-21B) and get the M12 ratchet and battery as free bonuses.
Price: $299
I’ll leave it up to you to determine whether this is a good deal or not. All I can tell you for certain is that it’s a better value than last year, when the kit with just the impact wrench was a $299 holiday season special buy. While I wish the price was lower, at least now you get more for the same money.
Compared to M18 Fuel
Here’s a handy chart for comparing the 2666 against the latest generation M18 Fuel high torque impact wrench, 2967, as well as model 2966.
