Impact wrenches ranked by impact rate

16 impact wrenches from DEWALT and Milwaukee, in order of the impact rate each maker publishes on its US product page or manual. Highest first. Figures are as published, not tested by us, and makers do not always measure the same way, so treat close figures as close. Each tool is listed once: a bare tool stands for its kits.

Not ranked: Milwaukee 2552-20 (0-4,000 IPM (product page; the same maker's manual also says 0-4,300 IPM)); Milwaukee 2552-22 (0-4,000 IPM (product page; the same maker's manual also says 0-4,300 IPM)). The maker's own figures disagree, so we show them on the model page and leave them out of the order.
