Milwaukee M18 Fuel ½-Inch High Torque and ⅜-Inch Mid-Torque Impact Wrench Combo Kit, $600 (was $999)
Why do we like this deal?
Walmart’s Summer Deals sale had tons of great deals on Milwaukee tools, and even though the sale is over, some discounts like the M12/M18 combo charger are sticking around. But that’s hardly the most impressive: Walmart is still selling Milwaukee’s top-rated impact wrench kit, loved by professional contractors and automotive workers, at a steep $400 discount.
The Milwaukee M18 Fuel ½-Inch High Torque and ⅜-Inch Mid-Torque Impact Wrench Combo Kit is on sale at Walmart for $600, which is 40% off its regular price of $999. Also known as an “automotive combo kit,” this bundle includes two impact wrenches to loosen and loosen all types of heavy-duty fasteners, especially nuts and bolts you find on a vehicle. This is a pro-level toolkit, and if you’re doing serious wrenching, it’s worth the investment. Lesser drills usually can’t muster the power and torque needed to work on cars, at least not consistently.

What shoppers need to know
- Equipment Series: M18
- ½-inch wrench torque: 1,500 foot-pounds
- ⅜-inch wrench torque: 600 ft-lbs
- Batteries: 2 5Ah M18 batteries
- also included: carrying case, charger
The two impact wrenches in this bundle are designed to complement each other. The ⅜-inch model features a “mid-torque” design that can crank out up to 600 foot-pounds of torque, while the beefier-inch model is a “high-torque” unit with more than double the torque at 1,500 foot-pounds. The mid-torque is great for general wrenching and loosening work, while you can call on the larger unit for serious tasks like loosening or tightening truck lug nuts. With the included 5Ah battery and charger, you’ll have everything you need to start working right out of the box.
However, even at 40% off, it’s still an expensive set. If you’re a home hobbyist and don’t need to invest in pro-grade tools, you might consider Milwaukee’s M12 “Stubby” impact, which has a lightweight, compact design – great for reaching tight spots in the engine bay – but still produces up to 550 foot-pounds of torque. Walmart has it on sale for just $174, making it a great buy.

what shoppers are saying
Shoppers, including many professional mechanics, have left great feedback for this Milwaukee impact wrench set. One called them “the best on the market,” and another said the set “helps me with all kinds of tasks easily, no problems.” Another agreed, saying they are “perfect for automotive work” and a fourth reviewer said they are “much more efficient” than pneumatic impact wrenches powered by compressed air – a standard tool in many mechanic shops.
This top-tier Milwaukee wrench set has all the accessories needed to get the job done, and although the normal price is much higher, the 40% discount makes it even more palatable for experienced professionals on a budget. Milwaukee appliances always sell fast at Walmart, so get yours as soon as possible before this great deal disappears.
