Overview
At 4.1 pounds and 18V, the 2960-20 impact wrench from Milwaukee follows the brand's bare-tool naming pattern, meaning no battery or charger comes in the box. It is built to drive or loosen large fasteners such as lug nuts.
Running on Milwaukee's M18 platform, this impact wrench should share batteries and chargers with other M18 tools a buyer may already own, though the listing does not name the specific M18 sub-line. At 4.1 pounds it sits in the compact range for an impact wrench, which favors one-handed use in tight spaces over maximum torque. Torque output and impacts-per-minute are not stated in the listing.
- 18V voltage rating
- Weighs 4.1 pounds
- Milwaukee bare-tool -20 suffix, no battery included
- 4.7 star rating from 20 reviews
Who it's for
Works for someone already in Milwaukee's M18 battery system who wants a compact impact wrench for automotive or fastening work. Not a fit for a first-time buyer with no M18 batteries or charger on hand.

Performance notes
The 2960-20 applies torque in quick rotational pulses rather than one steady push, a mechanism suited to loosening tight lug nuts or driving long fasteners. At 4.1 pounds it stays light enough for one-handed use, though Milwaukee's exact torque rating for this model is not given in the listing.
