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
  • 3.4 pound tool weight
  • Bare tool, model 2960-20

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.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

At 3.4 pounds, this driver is light enough for overhead and tight space work over a full day. Real world torque and impact rate are not listed here, so performance in dense material should be checked against Milwaukee's published specs before buying for heavy fastening work.
