I think they are using the same anvil on both the Stubby M12 and this, but I would expect the M18 to struggle a tad less with the avg. M18 battery, as it can pull more amps. The is M12 struggling a bit if you really want to test it >100ft-lbs if you are using 2/3Ah batteries IMHO, and opting for a 4+ Ah makes a difference. I would expect lower grade M18 batteries to fair better than the M12 equivalents in this regard, but peak performance should be comparable.
These tools are all about size. If you are concerned with torque and you pause even a sec @ the 250-ft-lbs figure, just go for the M18 mid-toque wrench.

How much torque does it achieve with the 2AH battery? I looked at the manual and nowhere does it mention this detail.
I don't think you will find this figure on any manual.
From personal experience, the 2Ah will require you to "insist" even on 100-120 ft-lbs lug bolts/nuts, when the 4Ah will loosen them decisively. If you are expecting to be constantly working the tool at 200+ ft-lbs, as I said above, go for a M18 mid toque instead. The stubbies M12 and M18 can do it, but it won't be a breeze for either the user of the tool. Similarly if you are in the 400+ ft-lbs category -> opt for the hight torque M18. Professionals typ. have more than one ofc, and pick accordingly.
