Our take on the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 1/2" High Torque Impact Wrench with Friction Ring (2962-20)

The Milwaukee 2962-20 is a cordless 1/2-inch impact wrench built for heavy fastening: rusted bolts, suspension work, and stubborn fasteners. It delivers up to 1,400 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque from an 18V brushless motor, with a four-mode drive control that includes a bolt removal mode. The friction ring holds sockets securely for quick changes, and at 5.9 lb it is lighter than many corded and older high-torque rivals. It suits mechanics and serious DIYers already on the M18 battery platform; the bare tool ships without a battery or charger.
