This is gonna be a great tool for putting on my oil filters

Can we all just appreciate how far cordless tools, especially impacts, have come in the last ~5 years?? What a time to be alive haha

What a friggn BEAST. Rusted suspension fasteners on medium duty trucks have left the chat and kudos to the big red army's engineers for giving mechanics the tool they need that'll leave their wrists tingling and smiles on their faces. We're on board as soon as this King Kong of ugga-duggas is available. Those new Forge batteries are lighter than 12HD batteries so yeah, sign us up for those puppies also.

That's an impressive machine! I bought a mid-torque a couple of years ago and I'm very happy with it. I've dismantled my entire front suspension with my mid-torque. I even removed the axle nut without a problem. This high torque is an absolute beast and way overpowered for domestic vehicles. But I can see how someone who works with large commercial or agricultural vehicles might want something like this. Thanks for the review!

I am sold. I am off to Home Depot to buy the tool and the Forge 6.0 battery. Very impressive. Thanks. 😀

I have the same 2967 model at work, and I have to say, it outperforms all my coworker's air impact wrenches. We take apart large automotive dies that have a lot of fasteners, and this puppy handles everything we throw at it. I use the Forge battery and keep the setting on number 3 to allow for max power and torque. Cordless is the way to go for sure, and I couldn't be happier every time I use it.

What an incredible feat of engineering while also making it smaller! Milwaukee are something else.

I'm sure I'll be seeing this on TTC in the next couple of weeks. I'm so excited.

A few years ago I was a Dewalt guy. I started having problems with my impact driver causing my battery housings to crack with moderate use. I tried to use their " warranty " only to be disappointed that they didn't consider my issue a problem. They wouldn't warranty my batteries or my impact. So, I switched to Milwaukee. Haven't regretted doing so since. I love my Milwaukee cordless power tools ! The battery isolator is a great innovation. I haven't kept up with Dewalt if they have a similar thing. Doesn't matter. After my experience with trying to use their " warranty ", I would never even consider switching back. I am totally happy with Milwaukee and what they're doing for the industry.

I can’t wait to see the next gen of the 3/4 and 1” impacts. I also pray the rumors are true with the next gen 1” comes with dual batteries

That’s jaw dropping power!!! Absolutely incredible stuff coming out from Milwaukee and as always great testing!!

That's just insane. I can't believe a half drive can be that powerful. Just amazing

First generation got me. Now I’m thinking about what card to put a bunch of new batteries on

I would like to see the Forge 6.0 next to a current 6.0, 8.0, and 12.0

That is a SUPER TOOL, that's what I'm talking about. I need one of those. These tools are getting better and better, especially the torque wrench. Milwaukee, you are the BEST. Thanks for the video.

Milwaukee = Mindblöwn...props to STR for doing this test, checked all my questions

Finally something that can be used for my wife’s toys.

what an amazing torque output this tool has. What's more impressive is the 5Ah battery could get it way up there to almost 2000 ft/lbs. In the past I've criticized Milwaukee for going cheap with "old tech 18650 cell batteries" on their high torque kits, but if the tool was designed to provide optimal torque even with those batteries I guess I'm ok with that decision.

Crazy power. My impacts already take a beating and my 1/2 inch impact is nowhere near this powerful. I prefer a 3/4 impact for tough jobs. I think we have reached the limit of a practical 1/2 with this milwaukee.

I love that they're keeping the simple mode switch. Had a makita and all the modes and foil buttons drove me nuts

Was one of the lucky ones to buy this from HD before it sold out on 9-19-23 and should get it Friday! The addition is REAL!!!

I am so glad I have waited to pull the trigger on the half- inch drive cordless tools. Dewalt did a great job stepping up to the plate and getting with times. However, it sure took them long enough. As far as snap-on goes, I still love their hand tools and quality. Again, as I stated in previous tests. The performance of their cordless tools just doesn't measure up for what their price point is. What you and your team demonstrated with the new milwaukee, on top of the new forge battery. Now that's just sheer ludicrous! Thank you for what you and your team do. I still have yet to be disappointed in what milwaukee offers as far as their cordless tech goes!

Milwaukee has always been the king in my opinion. Would like to see some cheaper tools tested tho, just to see how some compare. Been suprised with Hercules but would like to see maybe the Walmart Hart line drills and the Bauer and craftsman drills too.

Wow!!! This put down some serious beans with just the regular 5amp. Watched the DCF900 Video and it was already struggling at 1200ft with it's 5amp battery. I see Dewalt dropped the DCF961 with 1750 breakaway, but it's just too chunky and heavy for my taste. This however is similar in size to alot of Midtorque's 🤯 what a Beast good job Big Red 👏 💪👍🏻

LET'S GO TJ 🏁 The new-est Ridgid high torque does more than I need..this things a beast though

It definitely seems like it gets more powerful as the battery starts warming up. When first paired with with 6 amp, At 2100 ft lbs it struggled a little then at 2200 ft lbs it kicked in

OMG this impact is crazy powerful, not a fan of the price but this is a must have for taking the lug nuts off my semi trucks.

UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF POWER !!!! TO COOL

I love milwaukee, but get a brand new untorqued nut and bolt and torque it straight to 2400lbs and see if it'll remove it. Retorquing bolts starts having the same effect as putting an extension on a torque wrench because the bolt starts stretching. So just as torquing with an extention you may hit that 2400 on the torque but because of the stretch it's really not 2400 on the nut

as a heavy truck tech, ive used the two previous versions of these guns professionally, they work just fine for what i need, but after my experience with the last one, im gonna wait until this one comes out in 3/4" drive, i usually break my 33mm socket every few month thanks to it and the snap on guy rarely has them on the truck, so i end up sourcing them from cheapo locations and they hold up for a couple of wheel jobs at best, im hoping that by jumping up in drive size, breaking sockets will be less of a thing.

I still have the little known 28v Milwaukee impact wrench from probably 13 years ago. I bought it when I worked at a junkyard and I got tired of using a star to take rusty lug nuts. That thing would wring off the stud if they didn't start to turn but if they did turn but were hard to turn the whole way it would struggle. All the overmolding is peeling off of The Thing even though I haven't touched it in years and it looked good when I stopped using it because the battery died and are too expensive to replace.

Wow Im impressed it Took off 2000 foot Pounds with a Standred 5ah holy smokes thats crazy for a 1/2 anvil 18:10 @Shop Tool Reviews

Holy wow! That’s some serious performance! Thanks Tim

That's like the FN SCAR of cordless tools. 8lbs of of ass kicking performance that outputs like a tool that's double the thickness and weight. I was about to buy a 3/4 impact to do just two huge high torque fasteners on my racetruck frame but this could be a daily driver impact wrench that could step up to the big stuff occasionally without buying a whole new class of tool.

Im impressed it even did the 1500 foot pounds wow @Shop Tool Reviews

Love the video, thank you. As always very informative. I'll be buying one for sure, looks like it may be good for heavy equipment

Thats insane, 2400 ft lbs from a 18 volt battery powered tool. As far as cost, you are of course quoting msrp. No one ever pays msrp, never. It will be at HD as a special buy or a buy the kit for $$$ and get a free ??? I understand you need a starting value and i am very thankful that retailers have sales. The ear buds were at the show msrp 199, i have already seen them for 150. Regardless, this is a beast of a impact wrench. These numbers are getting into the 1" power neighborhood. Just for fun i was answering a question about a 5" socket from Snap On and ran across a couple impacts that is not for the faint of heart. Ingersoll Rand 588A1 2.5 inch drive 50,000 ft lbs 215 lbs On sale for 25,577.73 The other was a Titanium 3.5 inch drive. 80,000 ft lbs 599 lbs. Thanks for a great review, i have been looking forward to you doing one on this. A actually real world test. Thank you.

Nice new High Torque and the forge battery 0:47 @Shop Tool Reviews

The King Of Cordless is back

How did you manage to scoop Torque Test Channel on this? 😂

Thank you very much for the test, greatly appreciated. You have sold me on it and you got a liked and subscribed

I'm more impressed with the Hytorc and its digital torque setting - completely unobtanium for most.

I just bought the last gen 1/2 impact last year. Dang. This thing is amazing.

Honda crank bolt left the chat 😂

2k on a 5ah battery is pretty good. In the automotive world of light duty and below. If that doesn't take it off almost nothing will. I had the model before the one key and I used that to tighten pinion nuts, in order to crush a new sleeves before the final torque by hand. The tool worked great. As a matter of face the first time I used it it actually stripped the nut and pinion gear thread because I was not careful.

Bought the M18 1/2 high torque impact wrench with the XC8.0 the same day for the mining job. I wanted the forged battery but it wasnt in the store yet

Very nice review this is what i wanted to see!! wow this wrench is a FREAK !!

The 2863 one key high torque is the one i have and the extended Anvil as well definitely looks more compact for the newer high torque i like that 2:22 @Shop Tool Reviews

TTC is going to go BANANAS with this thing!

It’s nice but do I need it…? I’m a material handler tech and I’m not sure I would have a use for it but you know I’m gonna buy it anyway.

I can't stand stuck bolts and fasteners. Going to add this to my Milwaukee collection. Also love the indicator marks on the sockets.

I'm going to run out and get me one this payday. I have really needed this for my Chevy spark lug nuts!!!

I like the forge Battery lights and button looks more blacked out and the lights are a darker color

Are you sure your torque wrench is accurate?

I'd say it's an impressive tool, only thing that brings concern is that actual torque values. Also I'd say you should use a calibrated torque wrench to verify your torque

Would be great to see a real life side by side to see how well how the previous model stacks up or if it is completely inferior to the new model. Will the new Forge batteries work with older models? I actually own the previous model and it has never let me down.

And the DeWalt that everyone is raving about got 1700 on Tim’s testing. I can’t wait until torque test channel gets a hold of one of these bad boys

Just got one thanks for the excellent review. Got a free deep well socket set with it. I'm new to working on cars and if I had known I would get a free deep socket set I might have got this sooner but thats ok I assume it never hurts to have duplicate sockets because this looks like it has a lot of torque.

It would be great if you tested the extensions, to know how much torque it takes away from the impact wrenches.

Do I need it? No.. Do I want one? HELL YEAH!

I just bought mine. I can't wait to change a tire.

This new impact wrench looks amazing and I can’t wait to eventually get my hands on one. However I’m rather annoyed at the way Milwaukee announced the new super charger. Comparing it to the old rapid instead of old super charger, calling the lack of full power simultaneous charging a feature/benefit and so on. Kinda rubbed me wrong. Like they thought we weren’t smart enough to see through their advertising BS. So what I want to know is how does the new super charger compare to the old super charger?

Amazing tool for sure 😮😮😮

2767-20 A is the 1/2 high impact I have and I love this dont see me getting a new one till this one kicks the bucket 😊

Great video Señor , thank you for sharing it !

Milwaukee killed it!!!!

Tim, Do you think Milwaukee will make a second generation of the M12 Stubby adding similar features such as the triple led light ring, more power, and kitting it with an XC5.0 High Output battery pack?

It really made me smile!

Great test, numbers are really impressive! It should have 3/4 anvil for sure, and I think you should test it against makita xgt 3/4 high torque, it would be interesting to see since they cost around the same.

Great video, tons of torque and tons of fun

According to the manual if you put mode 4 it excels even more for busting out nuts so it potentially can do more damage

one word atm, DAYUMMM it's got some power

Going to pick up the 2967 tonight. I already got the new super charger and forge battery. Pick them up for 299 as a kit

Gotta love Milwaukee tools. The benchmark others are compared to.

Looks way more compact then the older high torques 0:56 @Shop Tool Reviews

The battery isolator looked like it was doing the exact opposite to me it looked like it was shaking the hell out of it maybe it's just shaking with no force behind it I don't know

When's the release date?

I wish they had that battery isolator for other tools, or maybe something that could just slip in as a plug and play adapter intermediary thing.

Is there going to be a 3/4 Version of this 2967 that would be nice to replace my one key 1/2 and my one key 1/2 extended anvil and my one key 3/4 anvil 24:53 @Shop Tool Reviews

@Torque Test Channel LET'S GO! 💪

I'm more impressed with your Hytorc Lithium Series torque machine but when i looked at it on eBay its way over my range.

I wish you would've tested the actual torque that it applied in mode 4 on the last two nuts to see if it actually applied 50 ft lbs.

this will be a great tool to remove and screw back in my oil drain plug

I just got mine it came with free 1/2 sockets kit and storage

Cannot wait for TTC to try those batteries and compare 'em

I would like to see the 6ah HO battery against the 6ah forge battery to see if their is a difference

Yeah bolts with washers behind them smeared in grease but I'd want to see it on real worked dry fasteners with rust.. 33mm rusty nuts where you at 😄?

Perfect timing my 2767 is on its last leg after 5 years and 5000 plus semi-tire changes which it was not designed to do LOL

It's a beast! Makes me wonder if they should've added a handle when you use the higher numbers. Wrist saver, ftw. Which brand of socket are you using? It's doing awesome too.

Milwaukee said what competition lol

Great job Thanks so much I pray for God to reward you for sharing with others

I'm glad I pre-ordered mine already just need to get them batteries, many places are sold out already

I think those sockets getting machined away by the anvil might be affecting how much it’s outputting adding in a bunch of play in them.. not that I expect you to use a brand new one lol just food for thought

Love the test rig

would have been nice to see how it performs with a high output battery also.

23:16 “It’s a ton of torque” I see what you did there :)

Those are insane numbers for a 1/2 anvil!

A pistol grip impact bustin 2,400 Ft Lbs….. Damn🙌🙌

Great review, very impressive tool, now on the tool list.

Found the perfect i impact for spark plugs
