Overview
The Milwaukee 2967-20 is the bare-tool version of Milwaukee's M18 FUEL 1/2 inch high torque impact wrench, built on the 18V platform for mechanics and techs who already run M18 batteries. At 2.7 kilograms it sits toward the heavy-duty end of cordless impacts.
The -20 suffix in Milwaukee's naming means this listing is tool only, no battery, charger or case, so buyers need an existing M18 battery to run it. Pairing it with the wrong battery amp-hour rating changes both runtime and how much torque it sustains under load.
- M18 FUEL brushless platform
- 1/2 inch friction ring anvil
- Bare tool, battery sold separately
- 2.7 kilogram tool weight
Who it's for
Suits automotive technicians, fleet mechanics and anyone doing repeated lug nut, suspension or chassis work who already owns M18 batteries. Not the right pick for someone starting a cordless tool collection from zero, since battery and charger cost sits on top of the tool price.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Bare tool price is lower for existing M18 owners
- High torque rating suited to automotive and heavy fastening work
- Friction ring anvil allows quick socket changes
- No battery, charger or case included
- At 2.7 kg heavier than compact impact drivers
Performance notes
High torque impact wrenches in this class deliver output through a brushless motor and a hammer mechanism that spikes torque in short bursts, which is what lets a tool this size break loose seized fasteners a standard drill driver cannot. The friction ring anvil lets sockets be swapped by hand rather than needing a pin and o-ring.
