Milwaukee 2767-22 Fuel High Torque 1/2" Impact Wrench w/ Friction Ring Kit

I have wanted the Milwaukee 1/2” gun for years. However I was only a DIY mechanic working a grocery store job and wasn’t able to afford one. I had bought a used Craftsman gun with 300 ft-lbs for cheap and that got me by but it had its limits.Then life happens, I graduate school and get a job at a truck shop as a diesel technician. Suddenly my Craftsman was worthless for anything but lug nuts on light duty pickups. I now have an underpowered impact and have a lot of money. I think you can guess what happened next. Milwaukee just came out with this new improved M18 1/2” impact gun, with 1400 reverse/1000 forward as opposed to the old 1100/700. I didn’t hesitate to smash that checkout button.Amazons description is way off, I don’t even know what product it’s for. But by referencing the part number from Milwaukee’s site I knew this was the one I was looking for. Also, it doesn’t come with the hard case pictured, it comes in a red Milwaukee bag. It includes the tool, charger, and 2 REDLITHIUM XC5.0 batteries. The case isn’t a problem for me. The tool is either in my hand or on my tool cart.First impressions, well it’s pretty big and heavy. If low profile and light weight are what you are looking for, this isn’t that gun. It’s the same or a bit heavier than a 1/2” air Impact depending on the model. But it’s quite alright, because this tool is more powerful than almost all 1/2” guns and even our shops 3/4” ingersoll rand air gun. I hate using air guns. I hate dragging lines around, and I hate how little control you have with them. They’re either on or off, only a skilled hand can modulate the throttle. This gun is very easy to regulate, and even does it automatically in Mode 4. You’ve got 4 modes. 1-3 are your regular slow-med-fast. Mode 4 is “Bolt Removal Mode”. In this mode it will automatically slow down once the bolt is loose so you don’t kill yourself.So how is the POWER? Well, let’s put it this way: I don’t think this thing has had to try once. I first tested it on my 2500 Chevy’s lug nuts. It laughed at the lug nuts. A friend has a Ram that he needed an axle nut (1-11/16”) taken out of. We had struggled with that nut, going as far as standing on a 5 foot cheater pipe until we gave up on it. I put the Milwaukee on it and it zipped it right off. Another notable mention: flywheel bolts on a Mack dump truck with red loctite on them. It’s safe to say that as long as you can get the gun where you need it, you won’t have trouble getting your bolt out. The bolt will break or strip before the tool runs out of umph.One thing I don’t like is the metal that the nose is made of. The gray part around the anvil. It scratched on the top from my truck tool box which is made of aluminum. I don’t know why the metal on that part is so easily scratched or if it’s just a coating. But tools get dirty and dinged. It’s not a big deal1 MONTH UPDATE: it seems amazon fixed the description, it’s for the right part now. As for the tool, well let’s just say that even if this tool was $1000, I would still buy it. It’s that good. I’ve worked on isuzu’s, hinos, freightliners, internationals, etc. it does everything. There is nothing this impact gun can’t take off. I plan on hotrodding it with the bigger Milwaukee XC12 batteries. Longer life and more power? Why not. By the way, I’ve never had it go below 2/4 bars on the battery indicator when using it nonstop all day. Battery life isn’t an issue. My only complaint is the size and weight, it’s a forearm workout and it isn’t the best to snake through tight areas, but as long as you can get it on you’re bolt, the bolt will come out. I saw that Milwaukee has an M12 stubby impact, and I will be buying that too for general use, and saving this monster for when-needed. Milwaukee is Love, Milwaukee is life

Massive torque, plenty for any truck repair work. Easily removes over-toqued/rusted lug nuts (80-145 ft-lbs) and brake caliper adapter bolts (250 ft-lbs). This may be too much tool for auto/truck repair, the mid-toque models may be better suited for this. BUT, if you want torque this Milwaukee impact wrench will deliver. I have a 3/8" impact wrench rated at 210 ft-lbs. But any impact tool struggles to achieve the max rated torque--you have to let it beat on it for half a minute some times. That may be OK for an occasional tough nut, but if you are doing a lot of work near thee max rating it gets tiresome and noisy, especially if someone else over torqued them or they are rusted in. Much better to have an impact wrench rated for 100% MORE than what you typically need. So my 3/8" Milwaukee impact wrench easily handles the typical auto bolts and nuts from 20-100 ft-lbs, but not so easily the over 100 ft-lbs bolts that are rusted up.However, this Milwaukee 2767 1/2" drive impact wrench will EASILY bust loose those hard stuck bolts. Rated at 1,000/1,400 ft-lbs this easily handles anything under 700 ft-lbs and with a little more impacting will get up to its rated torque. So I went a little over board getting this high-torque model, but I don't have to worry about messing with ANY stuck bolt on my truck. Fortunately, I can still get it in with 5" extension and universal joint adapter to the brake calipers on my 4x4 truck. I typically run it on the 2nd power setting which is about 400 ft lbs. The trigger allows good control of the speed, I usually just tighten until it starts to impact and then tighten with the manual click torque wrench. For most automotive bolts I use the 3/8" wrench, but for the big nasty bolts I use this monster. The 4th power setting is pretty good for loosening as it slows down as soon as the nut is loose, thus avoiding stripping threads or damaging the nut head.Milwaukee cordless tools are simply the best. I got tired of my Makita tools overheating and getting destroyed by hard use. Milwaukee tools have excellent heat protection yet I've never had one shut down on me, let alone get fried, like my Makitas. I tried DeWalt but they keep changing the battery voltage and connection. At one job site with 30 guys there were about 3 different DeWalt battery and charger types in use. The Milwaukee M12 and M18 batteries have been around for many years and keep getting better but still work in the old tools as well as the newest. I like DeWalt corded tools, but for cordless I love Milwaukee as an innovator, consistent interface, quality design and construction, and they seem to be tougher than any other brand. I'm still use 2.0 and 4.0 M18 batteries from several years ago and they perform like they were new: long lasting in drills and drivers doing deck building, home repairs, metal drilling, etc.This beast of an impact driver is also top quality Milwaukee construction and uses the same batteries as my other tools. Somehow Milwaukee gets their 18 volt tools to perform like, or better than, other brands' 20v and 30v tools! They really understand the homeowner and professional can't afford to buy new configurations every few years and need tools that can work all day long (10 hr days, 6 days a week). I may never buy another corded portable tool again, this M18 product line is amazing.

Thank you

I have been wanting this item for some time but was holding back due to the cost. When I saw this one with two batteries, well, hello Father's Day!I did not have a specific purpose when I ordered it. It was scheduled to arrive on a Tuesday but it came in the Thursday before. Lucky for me. I blew a hose on my backhoe Friday. Went to replace it Saturday but was unable to loosen one of the fittings. Called a friend who suggested an impact wrench. I was using two very large wrenches (for 1 1/4" nuts) and even had my wife hit one with a hammer while I was squeezing the two wrenches together. No dice.Cut the hose off to access the fitting with a socket. Put the impact on it. It did not even struggle. Zipped right off! What a life saver.I have seen complaints on the weight of it. I do not believe that it is any heavier than an air impact with similar strength.Extremely happy with my purchase.

I have an older truck and a vintage truck and tractor, and I have been removing rusted bolts manually for years. I used this impact wrench on my last project and could have cried how easy it was to remove old, rusted bolts.I watched reviews on YouTube for this before I bought it, as it's not an inexpensive tool, and I wanted to feel good about purchasing. The reviews there were glowing. And well deserved.I highly recommend.
