The Milwaukee 2855-20 is an 18V brushless cordless impact wrench with a 1/2-inch friction ring, listed at £159.50 and rated 4.6 out of 5 from 692 ratings. It takes fifth place in this guide. Unlike most of the wrenches ranked around it, the title carries no torque number at all — the figure only turns up lower down, and it turns up twice: the bullet says 250 foot-pounds of breaking torque, and the spec table says 250 Foot Pounds. The two agree, which is not something every listing in this guide manages.

Two details are worth having before the price is read as the cost of a working tool. The name says cordless, and no battery or charger appears anywhere in the listed contents; nothing in the Amazon entry states that one is in the box. The automatic shut-off bullet then caps tightening at "no more than 6 m. Couple", a unit printed exactly that way, and the spec table is similarly unpolished — "Is Racheting" is given as a field name. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing as it stands, not from tests we ran ourselves.

## Questions people ask

**What torque does the Milwaukee 2855-20 deliver?**

The bullet claims 250 foot-pounds of breaking torque and the spec table lists 250 Foot Pounds, so the same number appears in both places rather than two different ones.

**Does the £159.50 price include a battery and charger?**

Nothing in the listing says so. The Milwaukee 2855-20 is described as cordless with 18-volt battery operation, but no battery or charger is named anywhere in the contents or the specs.

**How do the 692 ratings break down?**

The breakdown given puts 84 of every 100 ratings at five stars, 8 at four stars, 3 at three stars, 1 at two stars and 4 at one star.

**How long is the Milwaukee 2855-20?**

The spec table lists an item length of 12.4 centimetres, alongside a jaw capacity of 1.27 centimetres and a fixed square head.

**What does the automatic shut-off mode do?**

The bullet says it prevents over-tightening by applying no more than 6 m. Couple, and the listing prints that unit exactly as it stands.

**What is bolt removal mode for?**

According to the bullet, it gives more control after bolt breakage, slowing the RPM considerably once the bolt is loosened.
