What’s in the Milwaukee 2864-22R Kit?
The Milwaukee 2864-22R is a complete powerhouse package, ready to roll out of the box. Here’s what you get:

With up to 1,200 ft-lbs of fastening torque and 1,500 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque, this 8.59” beast is the most compact cordless high torque impact wrench, perfect for pros, homeowners, and DIYers alike, per milwaukeetool.com. Let’s explore why it’s irresistible.
Why Everyone Needs This Impact Wrench
-
Monumental Power for Any Challenge
The POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor delivers a staggering 1,200 ft-lbs of fastening torque and 1,500 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque, eliminating the need for corded impact wrenches, per milwaukeetool.com. Pros can tackle massive bolts on structural steel or heavy equipment, while homeowners can secure deck lag screws or loosen rusted lug nuts. I used it to remove seized trailer hitch bolts in seconds, and a DIY friend bolted a pergola base with ease. Amazon reviewers call it a “beast” for automotive and construction tasks. Whatever your project, this wrench conquers it. -
Compact Design for Tight Spaces
At just 8.59” long—the most compact in its class—this wrench slips into tight spots like engine bays, undercarriages, or crowded framing jobs. The LED light illuminates dark workspaces, making it a pro’s ally on late-night repairs or a homeowner’s savior in a dim garage. I swapped lug nuts in a cramped wheel well, and the compact size was a game-changer. Big torque, small footprint—everyone wins. -
ONE-KEY™ Smarts for Precision and Control
This is the industry’s first high torque impact wrench with ONE-KEY™ technology, letting you customize, track, and manage performance via smartphone, per milwaukeetool.com. Toggle up to four custom profiles (saved to the tool) for specific fasteners or materials, ensuring repeatable torque. Pros can dial in settings for structural bolts, homeowners can avoid overtightening deck screws, and DIYers can track tool location to prevent loss. I used ONE-KEY™ to set precise torque for a metal gate install—no stripped bolts, no hassle. -
Unmatched Repeatability and Speed
M18 FUEL™ with ONE-KEY™ delivers the most repeatable torque in the industry, with up to 1,800 RPM and 2,400 IPM, per milwaukeetool.com. Pros can blast through high-volume bolt removals on construction sites, while homeowners can quickly secure fence posts. I removed dozens of rusted bolts from a tractor in half the time of my old tool. Amazon pros say it’s “worth every penny” for its power and speed, and DIYers on eBay call it “insanely powerful”. Finish faster, work smarter. -
Jobsite-Tough Durability
REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence prevents damage from overloading or overheating, and the M18 REDLITHIUM™ XC5.0 batteries resist harsh chemicals, per milwaukeetool.com. The premium rubber overmold withstands corrosive materials, and the friction ring with thru-hole design ensures quick socket changes. I dropped it on a concrete floor, and it’s still flawless. Amazon users praise its “durability” for heavy-duty use, while homeowners love the “solid build” for garage projects. This wrench is built to last, no matter who’s wielding it.
How to Use the Milwaukee 2864-22R: Easy for All
New to impact wrenches or a seasoned pro? This tool is intuitive and unstoppable. Here’s your guide:
-
Charge the Batteries

Select Your Socket
Attach impact-rated 3/4” sockets (Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE™ recommended) to the friction ring anvil—tool-free changes are a snap. I keep a socket set for versatility. -
Customize with ONE-KEY™
Download the ONE-KEY™ app, connect via Bluetooth, and set up to four profiles for speed and torque. For example, I set a low-torque profile for deck bolts and max power for trailer lug nuts. -
Choose Your Mode
Use the tool’s buttons to toggle profiles. Pros might use high torque for structural steel, homeowners for fence bolts, or DIYers for automotive repairs. The variable-speed trigger offers extra control. -
Get Wrenching
Pull the trigger, let the LED light your target, and unleash 1,500 ft-lbs of nut-busting power. I removed rusted anchor bolts from concrete in seconds. The rubber overmold keeps it comfortable. -
Store It
Pack the wrench, batteries, and charger in the blow-molded case for easy transport or garage storage.
Real-Life Wins for Every User
