Milwaukee 2960-20 M18 FUEL™ 3/8 Mid-Torque Impact Wrench w/ Friction Ring

Ruthless 600 ft-lbs Breakaway Force. Stubborn 6.0" Engine Bay Clearance. Intelligent Bolt Over-Torque Control.

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 3/8" Mid-Torque Impact Wrench (2960-20) bare tool introduces unmatched power-to-weight density, complete mechanical mobility, and precise electronic fastener management straight to your automotive tool box or assembly line. Purpose-built to shatter stubborn, rusted, and factory-tightened hardware without forcing you to struggle with heavy, full-sized high-torque guns or restrictive air hoses, this power-packed weapon unleashes up to 550 ft-lbs of Max Fastening Torque and a blistering 600 ft-lbs of Nut-Busting Breakaway Torque. It provides professional auto mechanics, industrial assembly technicians, facility maintenance crews, and custom fabricators with a highly maneuverable platform optimized to pull down engine heads, suspension link arms, and crowded machinery brackets smoothly.

Advanced workplace accuracy and shadow-free workspace visibility form the core of this next-generation M18 FUEL™ mid-torque assembly. Measuring a mere 6.0 inches in overall length and weighing just 5.0 lbs with a battery attached, this tool fits effortlessly into tight wheel wells, crowded engine cowls, and nested frame components where standard impact guns simply cannot pull a trigger. Driven by a severe-duty POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor monitored by smart REDLINK PLUS™ Electronic Intelligence, it features a 4-Mode DRIVE CONTROL™ selector with an automated Auto Shut-Off setting. When activated, this safety mode limits fastening forces to under 35 ft-lbs to simulate hand-tight conditions, preventing stripped threads or snapped hardware on delicate aluminum housings. Outfitted with a high-retention 3/8-inch friction ring (hog ring) anvil for lighting-fast socket size changes, it keeps your project lines moving at maximum speed.
