Which is better for removing lug nuts?

Both can do it. The DeWalt's 450 ft-lbs breakaway torque covers most passenger-car lug nuts at 2.4 lbs. The Milwaukee's 1,400 ft-lbs nut-busting torque is the safer pick for trucks or rusted nuts.

Is the Milwaukee worth it without batteries?

Only if you already own M18 batteries and a charger. Add the cost of an XC5.0 pack and charger to the $66.77 eBay price before comparing it to the DeWalt kit.

Which is easier to use overhead or in tight spots?

The DeWalt. At 2.4 lbs and 8.2 in tall it is far lighter and smaller than the 5.9 lb, 10.75 in Milwaukee.

Does the DeWalt kit include everything to start?

Yes. It ships with two DCB205 5.0 Ah batteries, a DCB115 charger, a belt clip and a kit bag.

Which has more speed control?

Both have 4 settings. The DeWalt adds Precision Wrench and Timber Screw mode; the Milwaukee adds a bolt removal mode.

Which lasts longer per charge?

The DeWalt includes two 5.0 Ah batteries, so you can swap and keep working. The Milwaukee's runtime depends on the M18 pack you buy separately.

DeWalt DCF921P2 ATOMIC 20V MAX* 1/2 in. Cordless Impact Wrench with Hog Ring Anvil Kit vs Milwaukee 2767-20 M18 FUEL

Buy the DeWalt DCF921P2 for lighter work: lug nuts on a car, deck screws, and assembly, where 300 ft-lbs of fastening torque is enough and 2.4 lbs in a compact body matters. Buy the Milwaukee 2767-20 if you pull rusted or stubborn bolts and need 1,000 ft-lbs fastening and 1,400 ft-lbs nut-busting torque. On price, the DeWalt kit is $265.50 at Walmart as of November 4, 2026, and the Milwaukee is $66.77 at eBay as of the same date, but that Milwaukee listing includes no batteries, so budget for an M18 pack and charger.
