Milwaukee 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 the perfect rattle gun. It’s tiny yet mighty. Removes lug nuts way easier than I had hoped for. I also own a Milwaukee 1/2” M18 impact, but never use it anymore.

Worth the money! I use this everyday!

I LOVE THIS M12 STUBBY ITS SO POWERFUL. I USE IT TO REMOVE LUG NUTS, BRAKE CALIPER BOLTS, CALIPER BRACKET BOLTS WITH NO ISSUES AT ALL. THIS M12 IS A STRAIGHT BEAST I RECOMMEND IT 100%. YOU NEED THE HC 5.0 BATTERY SO IT CAN GET ALL THE POWER.

for the size a very good impact easy to use good fit and finish but a little hard on battery use a 4-6 ah instead of the smaller one. size makes it very versatile or, only time will tell how durable it will be. I find it to be a good value if you are working in tight areas and would, so far, buy again

Barely feels like the upgrade i wanted. Grabbed this for quick tire rotations and small jobs in the living room garage corner so I’m not dragging out my big air impact. Power is good for its size, but the battery dies faster than I expected and the trigger feels touchy. Used it on my wife’s SUV lugs and a couple were too tight so I had to finish by hand, which kinda defeats the point. For the price, I wish it hit harder and lasted longer on one charge.

Some nights after a long shift, I head into the garage to tinker with my car and clear my head. I bought this M12 Stubby for the smaller jobs, and it felt handy when I took a wheel off on a quiet evening. It’s compact enough to work around tight spots without wrestling a bulky tool, and the trigger feels easy to control when I’m tired. I do wish it had a little more reach; I still need an extension for a few awkward angles. But for quick car work after a night shift, I’m glad I have it nearby. The garage is a nice place to wind down.

Dude 550 is insane, been using it for crank bolts since my compressor is down, works great

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?

Excellent impact gun. For a 3/8ths it packs a punch and the stubby end makes it great for squeezing into tight spots. Love Milwaukee and this gun is a solid addition to my tool box

Alot smaller than previous gens and packs a punch

I always wanted one and wow does it do the job Handy and has a lot of torque
