Just came across a youtube video of a 1/2" anvil swap onto a 3rd gen Milwaukee hex impact drill.... more torque than the 1/2" stubby. Curious if a 3/8" anvil could be put in place instead.

To anyone adventurous, look it up... Bare tool impact drill is 97$ on amazon, anvil part is about 15-20$. Might throw you down a rabbit hole though; w/ battery mods and such..
Good for the short term, plenty of people have messed up their drivers by using sockets though.

Nice! Probably don't need it, as I already have the M12 stubby. But I'm also in the M18 ecosystem. So why not have both? Ordered for local pickup. Haha!
I feel like my m12 stubby and 1/2 high torque impact is the ultimate duo. Not sure how this one compares to the high torque one, but if it's similar, then it covers 99.9% of everything a DIYer or weekend warrior like me needs lol

Been looking for a deal that includes the 12ah. Just a bonus that I get the new Compact Torque. Now, we'll see if they actually come through with it.

Store pickup, no shipping. May 5th, supposedly.

That's what I've done with my 1/4" hex impact driver, use a 1/4", 3/8" or even 1/2" adapter where my 1/2" impact wrench would have been overkill. But I've been careful to not use it for high-torque situations for the very reason you cited, e.g. no loosening lug nuts or suspension parts and such.

However, I MAY have damaged the 1/2" impact wrench by doing the opposite, using a 1/4" hex adapter to drive screws and use wire/abrasive wheel bits to derust parts. Since I started doing this, it hasn't been able to loosen tighter fasteners that it used to be able to. Do impact wrenches loose torque over time or due to such "misuse"?

At some point I'll probably have to get a higher-torque 1/2" impact wrench and a decent 3/8" impact wrench. Adapters are nice but they're only for occasional use.

This same $249 sale is available with the Gen II Cordless Jobsite Light and I posted it right after this one last night if you search Milwaukee and sort by newest it should come up right above this deal.

I have an M12 Stubby which i feel would be duplicating efforts, but I could use the HO battery! Decisions, Decisions!

So when is this not enough torque for a home owner? To me it looks like it will work for every application.

Shipping is cheaper than pickup in some areas due to tax.

Ordered this Thursday morning. First order was cancelled that evening. Ordered again for pickup and is still processing. Had a notice when I submitted the order, that if not registered, some items may be under review and cancelled. I wouldn't think a battery and impact would be included in that.

I just placed my order but did not receive any confirmation email, just a welcome message. Is that normal?

It will be until you have rusty, big bolts or you work on your car.
I've easily overwhelmed even the mid torque model with some bolts on cars
