Our take
This is the impact wrench pros actually use on job sites. If you're doing automotive work, structural bolting, or anything with large fasteners, the 2767-20 is the only cordless tool that competes with air-powered wrenches.
If you're buying one impact driver to last a decade, this is it. The M18 FUEL ecosystem is unmatched in depth, and the trigger control on this driver is genuinely better than anything DeWalt offers at the same price.
