A cordless drill will help you power through most DIY jobs, but when you’re faced with more challenging tasks, like pulling an engine out of a car, you need the big gun—an impact wrench (and probably a good set of sockets, too). If you don’t have an impact, now’s your opportunity to grab one: Walmart is selling a highly rated Milwaukee half-inch power wrench for over $120 off the typical retail price.
The Milwaukee M18 Fuel 1/2-inch High Torque Impact Wrench is on sale for $210, a 38% discount from its normal price of $338. This name-brand impact wrench is a bestseller at Walmart, and reviewers love it because it has “lots of power for working on a vehicle.”

At the heart of the M18 Fuel Impact Wrench is a durable brushless motor that can generate up to 1,200 ft-lbs of fastening torque and up to 1,600 ft-lbs of loosening torque—plenty of power to tighten lug nuts on a car or remove stubborn nuts and bolts from machinery. At just 7.6 inches long, it's also relatively compact, so you can use it more easily in tight spaces like an engine bay. Four drive modes give you increased control over its impressive power, while an auto shutoff mode prevents over-tightening, and bolt removal control drops the RPMs once a fastener is loosened to keep it from dropping or flying away into some impossible-to-reach crevice. Three built-on LEDs illuminate your work area, and this wrench works with any Milwaukee M18 battery, so you can use power cells and chargers you already own.
One Walmart shopper praised the M18’s “amazing torque” and said “the four different modes for the drive control are very helpful.” Another shopper agreed, saying the impact is “strong and works great.” Even pros love it.
“Paired with a 5Ah battery, I did a whole suspension and steering three times without losing a bar on battery,” said another shopper.
“It helps a lot when taking off truck tires that are torqued to 145 ft-lbs,” said one reviewer who works as a mechanic.
Well-made implements like this Milwaukee M18 Fuel Impact Wrench don’t come cheap—when it comes to power tools, you generally get what you pay for. But with Walmart’s sweet 38% discount, this high-quality machine is actually quite affordable. Just make sure to grab yours today because gearheads are going to be all over this deal, and Walmart could run out of stock soon.
