M12 FUEL Stubby 1/2 in. Impact Wrench

Update: one of the best Milwaukee tools I own. I learned that I didn't have the setting correct for full torque and a cheapo battery during my intal review. I since have used this thing every weekend working on cars. Tires no problem, chassis and suspension. Exhaust. It's small size is just excellent Super excited to get this. Love my Milwaukee m12 3/8 ratchet and I felt this would be great on the trails with my jeep to remove a tire quickly. I bet you can guess my disappointment when I tossed my Flip socket on it, stuck it on a lugnut on my jeep and... Nothing.. Whole lotta clicking but it could not break the nut free. Now, I will say that I do torque my lug nuts down beyond 80 lbs (basically till my impact no longer turns the bolts after 3 patterns) so they might be tighter than needed but this advertises 250 lbs of breaking torque. I doubt I have 250 lbs of tourque on my lug nuts. So, still in the Milwaukee's camp, I had to do a exhaust downpipe replacement on a 06 kia. 4 bolts. 2 on the Cat flange and 2 off the manifold. Typicaly these are harder bolts to remove. Tried with the Milwaukee, Nope. Nada. Hit em with my Harbor freight impact and it struggled but got em off. I did use the Milwaukee to reinstall the bolts and they were plenty tight enough for what I needed. SO, busting through rusty stuff, meh perhaps not. I am using a 5ah Battery at full charge. for the tool itself, it is very well made, well balanced, and compact enough to fit in tight places. Would be good for the heavier bolts n nuts that the 3/8 itsnt strong enough for. Im gonna keep it and try some different batteries and see if that helps.

I own the M18 2767, the top of the line high torque tool, this M12 tool is a much weaker version, which is also much lighter. If you are not going to make the substantial investment in the M18 battery world, this is a handy little tool. I use if for putting wheels on cars, it does not over tighten the lug nuts allowing me to torque them to spec, the M18 will over torque lug nuts in a heartbeat. We are using it in a shop environment and it has proven to be quite useful due to compact size and light weight. With a 4AH battery it does a lot of work between charges. If you are already invested in the M12 line buy it for light duty work. If you are looking for bolt breaking torque, step up to the 2767. I plan on buying the 3/8" version at some point too.

Great tool good power and torque bought for my wife to keep in her car to change a tire if need she didn’t want a big bulky impact and loves the size

I have been wanting this tool for years, and I finally had a project that I could use to justify the purchase. I needed to change out my front struts. I am so glad I had this wrench - it made the job so much easier. Of course, it quickly removed my lug nuts, brake calipers, etc, but where I really appreciated having it was for compressing the springs. I did quickly realize that I needed a better battery, so that was my next purchase (it turned out that my ebay 4.0Ah batteries were actually fakes...) Since then I've used this to install a new garage door opener (driving lag bolts) and several other tasks. It's perfect for the home DIYer, I can't see me needing anything more powerful.

Initially I was kinda bummed out over how little torque this thing had; wouldn't even remove my 85ft-lbs lug nuts. But then I discovered the little button on the back is not just speed, but torque as well. Put that thing on 3 and it does a heck of a job. Great piece of kit to work on my SUV. Be sure to pair it with a 4AH battery for more juice, as well as a handy base to balance the wrench upright.

Super util. Buen torque, suficiente para quitar una llanta. Se vuelve aún más fácil cuando le compras una buena pila de alto amperaje.

Fits great in your hands. The ball detent can be PITA, needs to be released with a pick. Plenty of torque for wheels on race car to 100 ft lbs.

Read some reviews that the torque was less than advertised. When I got it I used a clicker torque wrench on an old 3/4 ton truck and got up to 110 ft/lbs and it took those off just fine. I figured that was all I needed so stopped there. They came off easy so it had some headroom at that. Nice light and compact. I would guess if you wanted something that would do 250ft'lbs all day long, you should get an air impact or the 18 volt version. For what I wanted, this is great.

Perfect tool

Buena herramienta, es la segunda que compro, el único defecto que tiene es que el led se funde muy rápido por la vibración del impacto, en general tiene mucha fuerza.

One of the best impact guns I've had

I have the full size 1/2” drive, four mode M18 Impact drive. This 1/2” stubby drive unit is perfect for tight spots and has the power to perform. I partner it with the 5.0Ah M12 battery and also bought the boot for it. I value quality tools and take care of them and they perform for me reliably. This is one such performer. The seller was given a great review for speedy and quick delivery of item. This tool carries the Milwaukee 5 year warranty on the tool. It removes the wheel nuts on my vehicle easily and they are torqued to 100 foot pounds.

Great little impact to fit into tight spots. Plenty of power. The one I bought appears to be from a reseller as it did not come in the factory box, looks to be an open box item. All good, it was in perfect new condition, per the ad. Great tool, good price.
