Milwaukee’s 2650-20 is decked with primo features that definitely win it a spot on my job sites. With 2200 RPM and 1400 inch-pounds of torque, this tool has the juice. I drove everything from scads of 3 inch screws for remodeling applications and a roof replacement to drywall screws to lags for the SnoGuards that capped off the roof. I also sandwiched up some 2-bys to simulate a deck ledger and sunk 1/2 inch x 6 inch lags in a pre-drilled holes…uh…awesome…category-killing power.
