Milwaukee 2962-20 M18 18V Fuel 1/2" Mid-torque Impact Wrench with Friction Ring

I like my mower blades sharp and this makes it super easy to zip blades on and off the mowers with no busted knuckles. Also perfect for traveling in case we have a flat tire. Plenty of power for my household stuff.

Amazing tool. Wish I had purchased it sooner. Breaks stubborn bolts with ease.

Pretty good power for a mid size torque wrench, works wonders for breaking out bolts and nuts, not powerful enough to completely disassemble a suspension but enough to use on tire nuts

This is the bomb! Super strong but also easily controllable. Blasts off frozen nuts so easily, yet on the other hand, it is the easiest tool for removing and installing lug nuts. Will spin off tight nuts with ease, then automatically slows down as they get loose and come off. 30 ft# pre-torque mode is handy to set fasteners before going to full torque. Very strong, sturdy, well built tool, as are most of the tools in the M18 line from Milwaukee.

Runs like it’s brand new. Whoever had it before me definitely took great care of it.

One category on this product is battery life. This being a half inch impact driver, I strongly recommend you buy a battery to handle what this will or could be used on. I bought mine because I have the 3/8 impact now. Those came with 2.0aH batteries. They do run this impact, but deplete rather quickly. I ended up buying a new, 6.0 aH battery, and I both notice a much better longevity of the battery, as well as the power output of the tool. The tool itself, is pretty light, rather quiet for an impact. Enough so, that it took some getting used to not have loud hammering noise, like my pneumatic would produce.This is rated at 650 ft lbs, but I'm thinking its more like, 450. It still breaks wheel lugs away, and I like the shorter head on it, for tighter areas. The nose has three LED lights on the edges that produce a good amount of light to illuminate your work. I find a couple times, my large hands accidentally hit the power adjust button below the grip, and I accidentally switched it to low power, almost like you would use to start a bolt, but not torque it fully. I noticed twice today, the trigger did not activate the gun, but it may have been my awkward grip on the impact. I think it's a bit of a learning curve to use this, since I'm used to pneumatic impacts.

I love it..... Purchased before the new stubby.. Running off the 5ah batteries it works well for any suspension and wheels ive had to tackle. If you need super fast rpms for some suspension bolts like swaybar endlinks or ones that require a allenkey in the bolts it maybe a lil anemic.. Pneumatic does still crank the rpms or idk maybe a stubby or dewalt, idk.but regardless ive encountered that situation which technically is me being lazy and using rpms to shortcut using a wrench and allenkey. lolol..Its a good solid mid-torque... Torque test channel shows there are stronger ones out there.. Its more of a benchmark of a impact, a standard... 18mah batteries vs some using 20 shows its pretty efficient.With 2 - 5mh battery i'll rotate one when a bar drops on it.. There is a noticeable beans drop w lugs at that point. have dropped acouple times but im pretty careful in general and it was never anything crazy. . Sometimes the battery likes to hold very tight but i prefer that then the alternative.

Overall I'm pretty satisfied with the mid torque. It's weak for lugnuts IF you use a flip socket, if you use a short socket it works great, and with a long pattern it's still pretty good. The full size one is a beast (I own it and it will rip lugs off a semi) but was giving me tennis elbow from the weight of the thing which is shy I bought the mid torque, For the size this thing is STRONG, and the lights are nice. I do not recommend the milwaukee branded rubber protector, way overpriced, there is one with a skull on it from another company that is available here on amazon that fits great and keeps dirt out of it.I ran into an issue with mine late december 2022, bought it august 2021 so a little less than a year and a half in. My trigger would sometimes do nothing, and it felt like I didn't have much power but honestly at first I didn't think it had enough anyway. I went to the milwaukee site I already have my full size registered, and just had to screenshot the invoice from amazon as proof of purchase. Really the whole warrantee process was no problem at all, fill out the form online, send proof of purchase, wait a couple of hours and they approved it and sent me a shipping label. Dropped it at UPS or Fedex I forget which just before christmas and had it back a couple days after the New Year so considering the holidays etc I was please. They replaced the whole inside as far as I can tell, the rotor for low rpms and the "electronics assembly" for wear. I'm a professional auto technician and use this thing a LOT as you can imagine.Bottom line is that you can't go wrong. Ignore the guy who said the warranty doesn't work, unless you abuse your tool it will be covered so if you drop it or run over it expect to get nowhere, it's not the tools fault. Cost of the parts on the repair invoice were more than I paid for the tool to begin with, and I paid ZERO for the repair. It's a 5 year warranty. Use the right socket and you'll do lugs, and pretty much anything else is cake. I still need my full size from time to time when some ape torques the wheels to 400 or whatever but that is to be expected. Great tool and the company stands behind it, which was a relief as I never had to use their warranty service before and I have a lot of Milwaukee tools and the underhood lamp etc etc it works and thats it.

Strong good quality

Great product, very reliable and great quality.Very happy with this purchased

Working perfectly fine.

Es una herramienta fantástica, hace el trabajo duro mas fácil, tu sabes lo que es apretar 6300 tornillos de 1/2" X 1 1/4"en 4 horas??, y faltan 9500 mas, por colocar y apretar, compre 4 herramientas como esta, y tengo 2 mas, 6 en total, aparte, compré semanas atrás 2 llaves mas de 3/8", para apretar tornillos de 5/16" y 3/8" X 2 1/2", soy usuario de estas herramientas varios años atrás, y MILWAUKEE ha sido mi marca favorita sobre otras marcas, makita, dewalt o bosch, para mi esta es la mejor!
