Milwaukee 2753 impact driver

[zdech123]

I just ordered one of these and received it a few days ago. I had to run some screws into some studs in my garage to hang something. This thing is a dud. I was surprised. It struggles just to run a screw into studs. I have other Milwaukee cordless tools, including a 3/8 drive impact and it is awesome. Is there something I am missing with this? I used the same battery that my 3/8 drive used.

It is new, not reconditioned.

Suggestions?

Have it on the right setting?

What setting did you have it on?

Setting? As in 1-3? Had it on 3. And also put it on the screw icon, like setting 4? I suppose. The battery is red lithium m18 2.0. The battery works fine with my impact so I don't think that is the problem, unless this new impact driver was designed with using a different battery?

The screw icon is for sheet metal. Set it to 3 for the fastest speed and most power. Should do 4" 1/4" lags no problem.

From Milwaukee:

"The 4-Mode DRIVE CONTROL™ provides greater control over output speed and power for greater versatility by delivering 0-850 RPM in Mode 1, 0-2100 RPM in Mode 2, and 0-3000 RPM in Mode 3. Self-Tapping Screw Mode is designed to reduce walking when starting self-tapping screws as well as reduce overdriving, breaking, and stripping out screws."

Ok. I'll text out the 3rd setting and see how it goes.
Thanks.

It sure does. Silly me, one would think a grown *** man could read/figure that out. Works like I expected it to now. Lots of power

Thanks.
