TL;DR Rated 600 ft-lbs fastening / 750 ft-lbs nut-busting on a ½" drive; community fastener-removal evidence is positive for passenger-vehicle and light-truck work. CE-certified; no US independent safety listing confirmed.
A cordless electric ½" drive brushless impact wrench on the Milwaukee M18 18V platform. Four torque modes · including Auto-shut-off (35 ft-lbs cap) and Bolt Removal control · give real operator control. No independent torque meter test was located; community evidence draws from fastener-removal outcomes only. Multi-year M18 ownership reports confirm reliable lug-nut removal on passenger vehicles and light trucks and standard suspension bolts. Bare tool is 3.9 lbs · materially lighter than the high-torque 2767.
Buyers on the Milwaukee M18 platform doing regular tire rotations, suspension work, or general automotive fasteners will find the 2962 capable and notably lighter than the 2767. Skip it if you have no M18 batteries or need 1,000+ ft-lbs for heavy-duty truck lug studs or severely seized bolts.
CE-certified; no UL or ETL listing confirmed (2026-05-22). Li-ion chemistry; no CPSC recall. Hearing protection situationally appropriate for extended use. Recycle M18 batteries via Call2Recycle or Home Depot drop-off.
No. The 2962-20 is the bare-tool variant · it includes the wrench only. Batteries and charger are sold separately. The 2962-22 is the kit version. The wrench is compatible with all Milwaukee M18 batteries.
No UL listing or ETL certification was confirmed in UL Product iQ or the Intertek database as of 2026-05-22. The product carries CE certification (EU standard). The health score reflects this as a −0.5 deduction from the 9.0 electronics base.
No independent calibrated torque meter test was located 2026-05-22. Community evidence draws from fastener-removal outcomes only: multi-year ownership reports confirm reliable removal of lug nuts on passenger vehicles and light trucks and standard suspension bolts. Manufacturer rated figures are 600 ft-lbs fastening / 750 ft-lbs nut-busting.
The 2962 is the mid-torque ½" wrench (600 ft-lbs fastening); the 2767 is the high-torque (1,000 ft-lbs fastening). The 2962 is materially lighter (3.9 lbs bare tool vs. ~6 lbs with battery on the 2767) and well-suited to tire rotations and most automotive fastener work. Pick the 2767 for heavy-duty truck wheel studs or seized suspension bolts.
