Summary Milwaukee's 2962-20 M18 FUEL 1/2" Mid-Torque Impact Wrench delivers up to 881 Nm breakaway torque with robust build, four-mode control and strong run-time for demanding workshop and field use. Findings From the first pick-up, the tool feels built to endure. The housing is solid and the mechanism is well sealed, shrugging off dust and grit with ease.
