Milwaukee M18 FUEL Impact Wrenches & Drivers

An Impact Driver features a 1/4" hex collet for driving screws and small bolts. An Impact Wrench has a square anvil (1/4", 3/8", 1/2", or 3/4") designed specifically for heavy-duty bolting and nut removal using impact-rated sockets.

The latest M18 FUEL High-Torque 1/2" Impact Wrench (2967-20) delivers an industry-leading 1,600 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque and 1,200 ft-lbs of fastening torque when paired with a HIGH OUTPUT battery.

This allows you to adjust the RPM and IPM to match the task. Modes 1-3 increase speed and power, while Mode 4 typically features a specialty setting like "Self-Tapping Screw Mode" (drivers) or "Bolt Removal Mode" (wrenches) to prevent over-tightening or fasteners flying off.

Mid-Torque wrenches are ideal for automotive work and tight engine bays where space is limited but you still need up to 650 ft-lbs of torque. High-Torque wrenches are for structural steel, heavy machinery, and the most stubborn, rusted-on fasteners.

The Tri-LED light ring surrounds the anvil or chuck to provide 360-degree illumination. This eliminates shadows cast by the tool itself, providing a much clearer view of the workspace in low-light conditions.

While they work with any M18 battery, high-demand tools like the High-Torque Wrench perform best with M18 REDLITHIUM™ HIGH OUTPUT™ (CP, XC, or HD) or FORGE™ batteries, which provide more current and run cooler under heavy load.

A Friction Ring (Hog Ring) allows for fast socket changes by pulling them off by hand. A Pin Detent requires a tool (like a pin or nail) to release the socket, offering maximum socket retention—ideal for those working at heights.

No. The M18 FUEL Impact is a standard mechanical impact for max speed and torque. The M18 FUEL Surge is a hydraulic driver that uses "Fluid-Drive" technology to operate significantly quieter with less vibration, though it has lower peak torque.

ONE-KEY™ is a cloud-based platform that allows you to track your tool via Bluetooth, customize torque settings for specific fasteners, and remotely lock out the tool if it is lost or stolen. It is excellent for large fleet management.

The POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor has no wearable brushes, which reduces friction and heat. This results in a tool that is more efficient, has a longer lifespan, and delivers more consistent power than a standard brushed motor.
