Impact wrenches ranked by max torque

15 impact wrenches from DEWALT and Milwaukee, in order of the max torque each maker publishes on its US product page or manual. Highest first. Figures are as published, not tested by us, and makers do not always measure the same way, so treat close figures as close. Each tool is listed once: a bare tool stands for its kits.

Not ranked: Milwaukee 2960-20 (550 ft-lbs (manual; the 2960-22 kit page also says 500 ft-lbs)); DEWALT DCF961B (1,320 ft-lbs (conflict: the same DEWALT page also says 1,626 Nm, about 1,200 ft-lbs)); Milwaukee 2960-22 (500 ft-lbs (kit page; the 2960-20 manual also says 550 ft-lbs)). The maker's own figures disagree, so we show them on the model page and leave them out of the order.
