The new Milwaukee 2967 is complete garbage. Do not buy.

[@FrancoisBarbe177]

Tire guy here, the gun you’re using will take wheels off, BUT you need to remove that 1/2 to 3/4 adapter and get a 33mmx1/2drive socket. Or just get yourself a 3/4” at the very least. I use my 3/4 on a daily basis and has removed a couple hundred tires at this point. Right tools for the right job!

[@coleshattuck3420]

The tool is fine. With a 33mm half inch drive socket and that impact it rips rusty lugs off at the heavy diesel shop I work at. If you still wanna keep it buy the right socket and lose the adapter to give it a proper chance

[@ArielMorales-nu5cq]

Your using a adapter which is taking away torque I bet if you found a 1/2 socket that size it would take them off!

[@ballista7367]

most likely needs to be broken in, at least that's what i had to do with my old 2767 with 9.0 battery and then i was able to take off semi truck lugs all day with extensions

[@jjb0894]

I own that impact and it’s an absolute beast. It makes more torque than the air impact we use at work.

[@m-s.t.l9386]

User error mainly.

[@markk3948]

No wonder it gets crazy hot hammering on something for 3 hours. Its rated for 1600 ft-lbs and takes off nuts torqued to 2400 ft-lbs. There is no way it wouldnt take off those lugs. Probably why you didnt show it working in the video. Mine took off the axel nut off of an older vw that had lock tight on it from the factory with only 2 quick pulls of the trigger usually you need to heat it up 1st so either you have a lemon, you didnt have it on mode 3 or you are just bs ing

[@osvacaniz7571]

Is not garbage. You just have to know what to use for each job. It’s like using a 3/8 gun for a job that requires 1/2 gun. In this case you’re using a 1/2 gun for a job that requieres a 3/4 gun. Adapters decreases the torque just like extensions does. A 3/4 drive socket requires a 3/4 drive gun, simple.

[@chasedavis2358]

The adapter is the problem you need the socket on the anvil

[@prospectorsoils1240]

I wonder if those studs have L stamped in them? Honestly that impact has plenty of power to remove those lugs with an adapter.

[@costavong6018]

According to generic adapter testing and review, the torque will be reduced by a minimum of 30% while using the adapter. It is expected that you cannot unlock the nuts; spend more for a 1/2-inch socket. In addition, it is better to use 2868-20, as this tools is mainly for industrial solutions, your gun is only up for commercial van or pickup truck.

[@yoeyzee]

I have no problem with mine. I love it. Takes out axles and crankshafts np

[@afellowinnewengland6142]

First, Where did you get it? Is it a knockoff or legit Milwaukee? There's so many fakes out there. Second, why would you get a mid-size impact wrench for truck lugs?!? That's why they make high torque wrenches and bigger 3/4" and 1" impacts. This is the completely wrong tool for the job. Not surprised it can't take those off. You're like that dude at the boat ramp trying to tow a 6,000 pound powerboat with a Honda Civic and getting angry it doesn't work. The 2869-20 is what you want for regular truck lug service.

[@JohnMaxGriffin]

Watch the torque test channel video on the 2967. This is the 1/2” high torque, and it’s actually got more power than the 3/4”.

[@JohnMaxGriffin]

But yeah I agree the 2869 is the tool for this job

[@markk3948]

It's the new high torque most powerful impact

[@afellowinnewengland6142]

@@markk3948 No, no it's not. Not even close. It's their most powerful 1/2" but not their most powerful impact.

[@markk3948]

@afellowinnewengland6142 yeah most powerfulest 1/2 inch

[@danielfernandez1129]

wrong tool . more research needed. good battery tho

[@THEBEARDEDTOOLGUY]

Love mine its KING KONG and my DEWALT XR DCF 961 IS GODZILLA and my HARBOR FREIGHT HERCULES ULTRA TQ GEN 2 3/4' DRIVE SLOTS SOME WERE IN-BETWEEN

[@Unionmade6924]

Yea I use these regularly doing heavy form work and pile driving/millwrights work. And they always get super hot and just stop working. Dewalt is the better option

[@sinisterx9029]

Dewalt is #1 in cordless impacts right now

[@ThatFinchGuy]

You don't know how to use it

[@jmilko917]

I have a feeling you’re just slow

[@kodyrussell1623]

I’d review the comments and listen to them before making your mind. 800$ would buy you the 1 inch just about by the way and that would be better suited for your application. Just because it can, doesn’t mean it should. Right tool for the right job.

[@al-bp1pi]

This gun remove truck and trailer nut with ease, many other will prove you wrong, just read the comment section.

[@EvanLugin]

Adaptor = torque loss

[@deezy818n2]

You overtightened those lug nuts

[@aviationnationhd3760]

This is bullshit. 1 you’re using an adapter 2. If it turned 1/2 inche, then it will keep going. 3. Why didn’t you show it not working in the video, you put it on the plug, talk and talked and took it off. For all I know, its a voice over someone else’s video

[@Lalosfixit123]

This wrench is made to remove 2000 lb of torque. My lug nuts are only 400lb.

[@afellowinnewengland6142]

The 2967 impact is rated for 1600 ft lbs breakaway. However, that's the rating when using a Forge battery not a standard high output or knockoff, so now you're down to 1500. You're also using an adapter instead of a proper 1/2" socket so you are even less effective. More importantly, truck lugs torqued to 400-500 ft lbs can require a 1800-2000+ ft lb tool to break free after corrosion sets in. This Milwaukee is among the most powerful 1/2" you can buy, but it's a 1/2" impact and you need something stronger for regular use...Anyway, put the proper socket on it, spray some Liquid Wrench on the lugs and soak for 30 minutes, set it to max level and they may break free. However, you should be using a Milwaukee 2869-20 like most truck techs.

[@KarenSanchez-qo5ht]

Will not work in the "OFF" position . . . my dude . . .

[@EliteMacFreak]

That's not a tool rated for semi trailers.

[@metricdeep8856]

Did you have some education?......or you just bought a tool and tried to make it do what you wanted?

Get a Dewalt dcf961

Operator Error Smh...

[@andressolanolopez]

I can tell you know how to change tires lol get the right socket

[@ChrisAllen-nt2ms]

You are going the wrong direction.

[@Lalosfixit123]

The left whee loosens to the right and the right wheel loosens to the left. I know how it turns. I moved to the left side to give it a second chance but no change. I hadn’t pushed the reverse button in yet.

[@ChrisAllen-nt2ms]

@@Lalosfixit123that’s the wrong gun for that application. Minimum of a 3/4” drive. Preferably a 1” drive. The tool has the ability, but as others have mentioned using an adapter will never get the job done.

[@smelllikeloud8224]

Exactly using a 1/2 on a 3/4

[@RorysonTV]

these tools are made for home improvement not taking off truck tires lol.

[@afellowinnewengland6142]

Well, actually it's an automotive tech tool and not for home improvement, but yeah, not for truck lugs. Car and pickup it's more than enough.

[@RorysonTV]

@@afellowinnewengland6142 Actually the reason it is in home depot with the drills etc, is because THIS TOOL is for wrenching 1/2 carriage bolts to build a deck etc. ASK ME HOW I KNOW THIS.
