Milwaukee is well known for its high-quality products, and we stock a wide range of Milwaukee tools on our site. Recently, we added the RG Tools 20V Cordless Impact Driver, which we will be comparing against the Milwaukee Cordless Impact Driver to see which one comes out on top.

Motor Comparison

Both impact drivers feature brushless motors, which are the best on the market right now. They provide superior power and durability compared to brushed motors. Given the price of the RG Tools Impact Driver, it stands out as the better value.

Power Comparison

Power is a key factor when choosing an impact driver, as you likely need the extra torque for your DIY tasks. The Milwaukee Cordless Impact Driver we are comparing has a torque rating of 220Nm, whereas the RG Tools Impact Driver offers 320Nm. When it comes to power, the higher the Newton metre (Nm) rating, the greater the twisting force—exactly what you want from an impact driver. Therefore, in terms of raw power, the RG Tools Impact Driver is the winner.

Both impact drivers are highly rated, with Milwaukee having the advantage of brand recognition. However, when comparing price, power, and motor performance, the RG Tools Impact Driver comes out on top.

What is an Impact Driver?

An impact driver is similar to a cordless drill however, it delivers more torque, providing greater power, making it ideal for driving screws into tough materials. Impact drivers are widely used by mechanics to loosen large screws and are also great for loosening nuts that may have corroded over time.

Should I Buy a Brushless or Brushed Impact Driver?

If budget is not a concern, investing in a brushless impact driver is a wise choice. Brushless models offer more power, are generally more durable, and generate less heat, which extends their lifespan compared to brushed impact drivers. However, if you only need an impact driver for occasional DIY projects, a brushed model will be sufficient. That said, if you’re looking for superior performance, a brushless impact driver is the best option.
