- Is the 2960-20 powerful enough for lug nuts?
- Yes for most cars and light trucks. Its 600 ft-lb breakaway rating covers typical lug nut torque, though heavily corroded or heavy-duty truck fasteners may need a 1/2-inch high-torque gun.
- Does it come with a battery?
- No. The 2960-20 is a bare tool, so you need an M18 battery and charger, which most buyers already own if they are in the Milwaukee system.
- How does it compare with the M18 high-torque 1/2-inch impact?
- It is smaller and lighter but has less torque. The high-torque 1/2-inch gun is the better choice for heavy truck and industrial work; this one wins on access and weight.
- What is the difference between breakaway and fastening torque?
- Breakaway torque is the peak it can deliver to loosen a stuck fastener. Fastening torque, rated at 550 ft-lb here, is what it can apply when tightening.
- What sockets fit the friction ring?
- Standard 3/8-inch square-drive impact sockets with a friction-ring groove. Use impact-rated sockets, not chrome hand sockets.
- Is it good for engine work?
- Yes. The compact body and lower speed settings suit smaller fasteners, and the bolt-removal mode helps avoid over-tightening.
