M18 FUEL™ 1/2" High Torque Impact Wrench with Friction Ring

The Milwaukee 2967-20 M18 FUEL™ 1/2" High Torque Impact Wrench w/ Friction Ring is a professional cordless fastening tool designed for maximum torque, compact access, and high-efficiency bolt removal in automotive, fleet, and heavy equipment applications. It represents Milwaukee’s latest generation of high-torque 1/2" impacts, engineered to replace pneumatic tools in demanding environments.

Powered by a POWERSTATE™ brushless motor, this impact wrench delivers up to 1,200 ft-lbs of fastening torque and 1,600 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque (with high-output batteries), giving it the strength to remove seized lug nuts, suspension bolts, and heavy structural fasteners.

Despite its power, the tool maintains a compact profile at approximately 7.6 inches in length, allowing improved access in tight engine bays, wheel wells, and confined mechanical spaces where older high-torque tools struggle to fit.

The 4-Mode DRIVE CONTROL system gives users precise control over speed and torque, including:

• Mode 4 AUTO SHUT-OFF to prevent over-tightening
• Bolt Removal Control for controlled breakaway and reduced RPM afterward

The 1/2" friction ring (hog ring) anvil allows quick, tool-free socket changes while maintaining strong retention during high-torque operation. Tri-LED lighting around the anvil improves visibility in dark or tight work areas.

REDLINK PLUS™ intelligence continuously monitors tool and battery performance to prevent overload, overheating, and over-discharge, ensuring consistent output under heavy load conditions.
