Overview
The Milwaukee 2960-20 is an 18 volt impact driver weighing 3.4 pounds. The dash 20 in the model number is Milwaukee's standard marking for a bare tool, so battery and charger are typically sold separately.
This sits on Milwaukee's M18 battery platform, and buyers already carrying M18 packs get the most value since they can skip paying for a battery and charger again. The listing itself supplies only voltage and weight, with no torque or impact rate figures given.
- 18 volt M18 platform

Who it's for
Tradespeople and DIYers already on Milwaukee's M18 platform who need a compact bare impact driver are the clear fit. Anyone starting from scratch without M18 batteries should budget for a kit or separate battery purchase.
