M18 Fuel 1/2" High-Torque Impact Wrench w/ Friction Ring (Bare Tool Only)

The Milwaukee M18 Fuel 1/2-inch High-Torque Impact Wrench with Friction Ring (model 2967-20) delivers 1,200 ft-lbs of fastening torque and 1,600 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque when paired with M18 REDLITHIUM FORGE batteries, making it the most power-dense impact wrench in its class. At just 7.6 inches in length, this cordless wrench provides greater access in tight spaces while removing stubborn bolts and fasteners faster than cordless competitors. The POWERSTATE Brushless Motor, 4-Mode DRIVE CONTROL with AUTO SHUT-OFF, and friction ring design combine to give professionals maximum productivity on the jobsite and in the shop without sacrificing control or precision.

• POWERSTATE Brushless Motor: Delivers up to 1,200 ft-lbs of fastening torque and 1,600 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque with M18 REDLITHIUM FORGE batteries. This motor provides the power needed to break free seized fasteners and complete heavy-duty applications without reaching for a pneumatic tool.

• Compact 7.6-Inch Length: Measures 2 inches shorter than previous models for improved access in confined spaces. This reduced length lets you work between frame rails, inside wheel wells, and in other restricted areas where larger impact wrenches cannot fit.

• 4-Mode DRIVE CONTROL with AUTO SHUT-OFF: Offers four selectable speed and power settings (Mode 1: 0-700 RPM, Mode 2: 0-1,300 RPM, Mode 3: 0-2,000 RPM, Mode 4: 0-900 RPM forward / 0-2,000 RPM reverse). Mode 4 applies no more than 50 ft-lbs of torque for hand-tight fastening to prevent overtightening and includes Bolt Removal Control that delivers full torque to break the fastener free, then slows to 750 RPM to prevent dropped fasteners.

• Friction Ring Anvil: Provides quick, tool-free socket changes with a 1/2-inch friction ring (hog ring) design. This system lets you swap sockets in seconds without fumbling for detent pins or retaining rings, keeping you productive during multi-socket jobs.

• Patented Battery Isolation System: Ensures a secure battery connection while controlling vibration transmitted to the M18 battery pack. This design protects your batteries from excessive wear and maintains consistent power delivery throughout demanding applications.

• Tri-LED Lighting System: Surrounds the anvil to deliver brighter workspace illumination with fewer shadows than single-bulb designs. These LEDs activate when you pull the trigger, giving you clear visibility of fasteners in dark engine bays, undercarriages, and poorly lit work areas.

• REDLINK PLUS Intelligence: Monitors tool and battery conditions to prevent overloads, overheating, and over-discharge. This protection system maximizes performance while extending the life of both the tool and your M18 batteries.

• Maximum Impact Rate of 2,400 IPM: Delivers up to 2,400 impacts per minute in Mode 3 and Mode 4 for the fastest removal speeds in its class. This high impact rate translates to less time spent on each fastener and more billable work completed per day.

This bare tool (model 2967-20) requires a separate M18 battery and M18 charger, which are not included. The wrench is compatible with all M18 REDLITHIUM batteries and achieves maximum torque output (1,200 ft-lbs fastening, 1,600 ft-lbs nut-busting) when paired with M18 REDLITHIUM FORGE battery packs. The 1/2-inch friction ring anvil accepts standard 1/2-inch drive impact sockets. This model replaces the previous 2767-20.

A: No, model 2967-20 is a bare tool only and does not include a battery or charger. You will need to purchase a separate M18 battery and M18 charger to operate this impact wrench. The tool is compatible with all M18 REDLITHIUM batteries, and it achieves maximum torque output of 1,200 ft-lbs fastening and 1,600 ft-lbs nut-busting when paired with M18 REDLITHIUM FORGE battery packs.

A: Fastening torque refers to the maximum torque the wrench applies when tightening a fastener (1,200 ft-lbs with M18 REDLITHIUM FORGE battery), while nut-busting torque is the peak torque available to break loose seized or over-torqued fasteners (1,600 ft-lbs with M18 REDLITHIUM FORGE battery). Nut-busting torque is always higher because breaking a fastener free requires more momentary force than controlled tightening.
