Description
Overview
The Milwaukee M18 FUEL Gen-2 ½-inch Mid-Torque Impact Wrench with Friction Ring is a high-performance cordless tool built for professionals needing maximum power in tight spaces. Despite delivering up to 650 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque, it weighs only around 5.1 lb (with a 5.0Ah battery), making it exceptional for heavy-duty removal tasks while maintaining portability.
