Smaller, lighter, and more powerful than the Gen 1. The Milwaukee Gen 2 2960 M18 FUEL Mid-Torque Impact Wrench delivers more than 550 ft-lbs of fastening torque and up to 650 ft-lbs of loosening torque or nut-busting torque. Model 2960 includes the 3/8" anvil, and model 2962 is fitted with the 1/2" anvil. Both models have the same 550 ft-lbs of fastening torque, but the 2962 has 650 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque while the 2960 only has 600.

If you want to buy your first impact wrench *buy this one* not the high torque. I started with a high torque, and then got this. You will struggle to find things the mid torque can’t do, but it is much lighter and much slimmer.

@CoyotePower5.0 2 года назад

Would you recommend 1/2 in or 3/8 for suspension work?

@jacobhauenstein 2 года назад

@@CoyotePower5.0 you mean 1/2 or 3/8th mid torque? For me, I like the 1/2, my set goes down to 10mm and up to 24mm so it has everything covered. If i’m doing stuff smaller than 10, i’d use a ratchet since those fasteners are

@cardo1111 3 года назад

Excellent channel and always comprehensive very well-presented reviews👍🏽 That LION torque gun is no joke, the Gen 2 Milwaukee Mid Torque is a really nice and versatile impact. The Gen 1 is still a good impact, my main peeve being it lacks a proper light. The precision wrench mode is another nice feature of the new model that saves time and prevents over-torquing, all in a smaller more powerful package. I have to think Milwaukee will be massaging their High Torque model soon.

@Shoptoolreviews 3 года назад

Thank you very much. These LION guns are amazing, really. The Mid-Torque is very versatile and has a ton of power for the size. Yes, I agree, the Gen 1 is still a great gun as well, and you're right, the light is the weak point. We hope to see a new version of the High Torque soon, with the better lighting. Thanks for watching.

@elmarito007 2 года назад

If you are a DIYer and only have to do mid-range work, this would make your life way easier. I have taken everything off from rusted caliper bolts to suspensions. I have a Dodge Charger, a Chevy Equinox and a Nissan Juke so that can tell you what kind of jobs this thing can handle. I had to change the ball bearings on the equinox and that was too much this gun, but I also have a high torque impact and that took it off like butter.

@toadtacosaucedrrego5987 3 года назад

I love mine! Interestingly, the thing I love most is the belt clip. My old one didn't have that, and reaching down to the floor, across the lift, leaving it on the bench, or go forbid accidentally knocking it off my tool stand while holding parts in the air gets old when I can hang it on my pocket instead & have it instantly.

@creativestudio4873 Год назад

I think your going to see more half inch impacts sold because of the practicality of the larger sockets. Instead of a larger socket with a adapter for 3/8s. No adapter and probably a stronger sockets for 1/2 inch. I would think a 21mm 3/8s would be a little thinner then a 21mm for a 1/2inch. I just ordered a 1/2 inch impact with 2 batteries ,charger and case. Mostly for lug nuts and some larger car nuts for like bumpers and suspension stuff. Its a bit overkill but, if you go easy on the stuff you loosening it should be ok. On the sockets and whatever your loosening/ tightening. To be realistic. Your doing a test. Not true to the real life conditions like rust and corrosion. Its a little different.. so results vary but, a great way to start.

@shawnb4234 3 года назад

I'm a dealership technician and I already have the 3/8 m12 stubby. Favorite cordless tool in the box. Problem I have found is that it doesn't have enough power to break loose 80% of the suspension and brake fasteners especially here in the rust belt. I was thinking a 3/8 in mid torque for that and 1/2 high torque for lug nuts and larger fasteners. Thoughts? My 3/8 impact sets go from 8 to 24mm and I already have mostly 3/8 impact swivels and sockets.

@Shoptoolreviews 3 года назад

Yes, that would be a great choice for you. I couldn't recommend it any different. You'll probably use that Mid-Torque the most, once you have it. Thanks for watching.

@Shoptoolreviews 3 года назад

I know what you mean. We are really reaching a point to wear these impacts will start destroying sockets. We've already seen this in testing with our 1/2" High Torque models. After extensive use, the sockets were starting to fail where the anvil entered the socket. Thanks for watching

Excellent video What is the specs of grey torque wrench you are using please

@Popajaja Год назад

Question for Milwaukee specialists: I have a Milwaukee M18 FMTIW2F12 that has an interesting bug. When I press the switch, the machine spins and diode number 3 (third gear) lights up for a long time. Only when the diode turns off is it possible to change the direction of rotation and start again. In addition, the maximum speed (diode number 3) cannot be changed. In order for it to work at all and not to wait for diode number 3 to go out, I remove and put back the battery. That means to change the wheels on a car that has 5 screws, I have to remove and put back the battery 10 times. Once I press the switch, I must not stop until the job is done, otherwise there will be a long pause or re-inserting and removing the battery.

Are you supposed to see a thin coat of grease seen at the point the anvil meets the body? I didn't see it there until I used it for the first time so I'm not sure if my new impact has a bad oring or something. Looking at the video there aren't many close ups but it's like I can almost see the same on yours.

@Shoptoolreviews 3 года назад

Yes, on just about any impact, the more you use them, especially if you use them for long periods, the more you will notice grease leaking around the anvil. That mechanism in the nose-cone is filled with grease to keep the impact mechanism lubricated. As it gets hot, it oozes everywhere, and part of it's job is to lubricate the anvil riding against the bushing on the nose-cone. Many mechanics will take these apart each year, clean them up and put more grease in them. Thanks for watching.

I’m considering the m18 1/2 mid torque and the Kobalt XTR which comes with their right angle impact for free right now. Any help deciding would be appreciated.

@Shoptoolreviews 3 года назад

To be honest, it would be hard to pass up getting that right angle impact for free. That's a deal. As for the impact wrenches, I think the Milwaukee High Torque is more powerful than the XTR. However, the XTR is definitely more powerful than the M18 Mid-Torque. If you're working on a 3/4-ton truck, I would not get the mid-torque. You'll be better off with the M18 High Torque or the Kobalt XTR. Thanks for watching.

Now the machine I was working on applying around 4 tons of force apon itself so idk after a month of use, the bolts somehow got tighter. Idk

If you work on big, heavy-duty equipments (farm equipments or whatnot), the M18 Mid-Torque would be the better choice for sure.

When you do the auto mode tightening, what is the torque it stops at?

@Shoptoolreviews 3 года назад

It stops at less than 35 ft-lbs. Thanks for watching.

@firstlast6566 3 года назад

@@Shoptoolreviews What if in the same mode but bolt removal/reverse after it breaks free and reduces power, if it hits rust halfway or damaged threads? Will it automatically apply full torque again without having to reset or change modes? Thank you.

@foxchris509 3 года назад

Getting a 1/2in for sure

@Shoptoolreviews 3 года назад

Yeah, that's the right call. I'd definitely get the 1/2" if you only get one. Thanks for watching.

@roger2276 2 года назад

So I have the 2960 model and this weekend I was doing some CV axles and the 12mm bolts were only about 35 foot pounds and I went to remove one in mode 1 nothing so I selected mode 3 and it snapped the bolt off ! Lol like wow 😳 ended up doing the job by ratchet but what mode should I have had it in to not fear snapping off bolts ?? Mode 4 ?? Or just each mode up from 1 until it removes it ..cuz 3 was way to much beans

Why did the torque go down on the 2854 gen3 model?

@AlexMaysonet 3 года назад

What do you mean? The torque for the 2854 is 250 lb-ft, which is up from the 2754 model that put out 210 lb-ft.

@gabrielealarcon8862 3 года назад

Would you recommend this for changing tires almost all day?

@Shoptoolreviews 3 года назад

Probably not. I'd recommend the High-Torque if you're changing tires all day and you could only choose one impact. However, if you could buy a second impact, then I'd recommend the Mid-Torque. The Mid will probably handle 90% of your work, then you'd have the heavier and stronger High-Torque to get you out of the jamb. Thanks for watching.

@aarinward1483 3 года назад

Depends what the tires are on. I have the gen 1 mid torque and I do suspensions all day and it'll handle most lugs for a car. Might struggle on semi tires, but your typical daily driver, yes it'll remove them all day.

When Will you do a head to head with this verses the kobalt 24v impact

I'm not sure if that's a fair fight. The 24V Kobalt is a High-Torque and this is a Mid-Torque. We'll be reviewing the Kobalt soon. ;) Maybe this week. Thanks for watching.

@joshuacruz9805 3 года назад

Anyone hear that they are being pulled from stores?? I've heard that a couple times already..

@thelegendaryblackbeastofar39 Год назад

I think you have it the other way around. According to the Milwaukee literature and website: Fastening torque: 650 ft-lb Nut busting torque: 550 ft-lb I must admit I'm puzzled by this design decision... Normally you need more torque to loosen rather than tighten. Now I get that with impact wrenches (as they don't apply uniform torque) the advertised torque rating depends on various parameters; so, it may indeed be that the REAL-WORLD loosening torque exceeds the tightening torque depending on how the strikes are applied.
