Brutal Bolt Breakers: The Milwaukee M18 FUEL contenders
Milwaukee throws down two contenders in the heavyweight impact wrench ring:
- The M18 FUEL™ 1/2" High Torque Impact Wrench with Friction Ring (M2867-20): This beast boasts a whopping 1,100 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque. That's enough muscle to loosen King Kong's banana peel.
- The M18 FUEL™ 1/2" High Torque Impact Wrench (M2763-20): This contender packs a punch too, with 700 ft-lbs of max fastening torque. Still enough to make rusty bolts cry uncle.
But wait, there's more! Both these Milwaukee marvels come with brushless motors that go the distance, and REDLITHIUM™ batteries that mean you won't be left stranded mid-battle.
Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.
Picking Your Perfect Powerhouse:
So, which Milwaukee M18 FUEL impact wrench is right for you?

How much torque is enough?
This depends on the job. Lug nuts typically require 300-400 ft-lbs, while car repairs might need 100-200 ft-lbs.
Do I need a battery and charger?
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.
These wrenches are often sold as "bare tools" without batteries or chargers. Factor those into your purchase decision.
Will this replace my gym membership?
Maybe not entirely, but it'll definitely give your forearms a workout!
Can I use this to open a pickle jar?
We wouldn't recommend it. There are better tools for that (and for saving your wrists from a revolt).
