Electric - M12 FUELTRADE Stubby 3/8 Impact Wrench

Honestly I've been an air tool hold out. Finally got this tool as I'd watched a load of videos on it and it appeared to work well doing mechanic work and had the bonus of NOT having the air hose draped everywhere and it is smaller in length than my trusted Snap-On 3/8 impact. I bought a couple of 5.0 High capacity batteries to use with it. From my viewing it appeared these were the ones to have. So, no comment yet on longevity, but can give you the stress test results after doing motor mounts on a Camry 2.4L. The good: No problem taking the lug nuts off. Had the tool on setting 3, but feel like it would have done it on setting 2. Took the nuts off the motor mounts no problem. Has nice fine control. By varying the trigger pressure you can run the tool slower. I set the tool on setting 1 and lightly pressed the trigger to remove the splash shield bolts. These just need spinning out, not high torque hammering out. Worked a treat (no digging the air ratchet out). This fine control came in handy as well as I hand started the nuts on each of the mounts and used the tool on setting 1 and light trigger pressure to just test run the nuts onto the mount bolts to ensure no issues before I installed them. Spun then on and off nice and slow and smooth. Installed the mounts using the tool and then went through and did the final tighten with the torque wrench. This impact made the job much faster, no issues with fatigue, no fighting the air hose and when all done I still had a full battery ready for the next job. Glad I bought it and would recommend! Some have issue with how the power is set. For me it was no problem. Put,in neutral and cycle the button to what I want and away we go. Not a big deal. The picky not so good on the tool. The direction button PERIOD! Needs to be higher on the tool body. I don't have super big hands and I found my hand naturally fit the handle so that there were times I'd accidentally pressed the button. Had to consciously ensure to hold the tool slightly lower down (not where my hand naturally fit) to avoid possibly pressing the button. May end up being a muscle memory deal through repeated use of the tool where it ends up a non issue, but did find it a little annoying during this first use. That's it. Rest of use, power, settings available, battery life etc. were all great! Super glad I finally bought one.

This is my new favorite Milwaukee tool! It’s really compact, lightweight and tons of power for a 3/8 drive impact. Of course it has the quality and durability of the Milwaukee line up.

The Milwaukee M12 FUEL Stubby 3/8” impact wrench is an absolute beast for its size. It has more than enough power for most automotive and mechanical work while being compact enough to fit into tight spaces where a larger impact won’t. Build quality is excellent, just what you’d expect from Milwaukee. Battery life is solid, and it pairs perfectly with the M12 batteries I already own. It’s lightweight, well balanced, and has quickly become my go-to tool for bolts and fasteners that don’t need a full-size impact. If you’re on the fence, this tool is worth every penny.

Feels like it has more power then the older model and i haven't had issues with the older batteries falling out. The older model is easier to change torque settings, but over all, this one is great

This thing is Amazing, throw a 5.0 high output on and it'll take just about anything off, I use it daily and its lightweight makes it a lot easier to use than a 1/2 impact, easily takes off truck lugnuts with chrome sockets

This impact is a beast. I highly recommend this tool and. I have 2 of them. One for home, and one at work. Has plenty of torque to do almost anything.

What a great world we live in today with these powerful, compact tools to help you get things done MUCH faster, with less fatigue at a great price. These with the M12 batteries are going to change people's lives - work is going to get done better and faster.

Great stubby impact! Much greater than the last gen. Great for hard to reach spots or tight spaces.

La herramienta estaba bien y funciona, nomas que la caja venía maltratada y la herramienta con polvo.

Product is okay, but it came without its original box. Why?

Awesome, it's next level usability quality on speed switch, this is a new tool withsruf like that , nice.

Alot smaller than previous gens and packs a punch

Can't go wrong buying anything milwaukee. Amazing product straight out of the box with a nice hefty dusty feel. Ill never buy another brand.
