Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Milwaukee 2967-20 is the bare-tool version of one of Milwaukee's most popular 18-volt impact wrenches, and the numbers make the case plainly: 3,000 units sold per month, 1,745 reviews, and a 4.8-star average. Few tools across any category combine that sales volume with that level of buyer satisfaction. At $228.80 it sits at a competitive price for a tool with this pedigree on the M18 platform.
The 2967-20 weighs 2.7 kilograms and draws from an 18-volt battery. No torque or speed figures are published in the listed specs, but the review volume and rating from a primarily professional audience provide a strong real-world performance signal that Milwaukee's marketing materials cannot replicate. Owners in demanding trades select and re-purchase this model at a rate that speaks for itself.
Buyers coming from a non-Milwaukee battery ecosystem will need to factor in battery and charger costs alongside the $228.80 bare-tool price. For anyone already running M18 tools, the 2967-20 is effectively the default recommendation in the cordless impact wrench category based on its combination of demand, rating, and price.

The bare-tool format means buyers supply their own batteries, giving flexibility over capacity (compact vs. high-output packs). No torque or speed data appears in the listed specs, but the tool's real-world performance is evidenced by 1,745 reviews from a predominantly professional user base and consistent monthly sales of 3,000 units.
What buyers say

The bare-tool format is appreciated by existing Milwaukee users but noted as a limitation by buyers building a kit from scratch.
