I pointed this deal out yesterday on the impact wrench deal that expired. On paper it's good, but not great, but if you're willing to buy a 20 off 200 coupon, which runs about $2.50 online, it becomes a pretty smokin' deal at $217.50. At that price, it's like getting the stubby at the $129.99 price and getting the ratchet at an all-time low of $87.50.

Here's my original post: https://slickdeals.net/f/15460915-milwaukee-m12-fuel-3-8-in-right-angle-impact-wrench-kit-with-two-2-0-ah-batteries-209?p=151676737#post151676737

Definitely a pretty good deal for some of us who missed out on the previous deals. Stubby seems to be the same price as Acme for $129.99 and I could get this much earlier than from Acme. Plus, this is the older model Fuel Ratchet (2557-20) for folks who are looking for one. The head is bigger and has 55 ft/lb & 200 RPM compared to the newer ones (2567-20) which has a much smaller head, very similar to the brushless ratchet and goes up to 450 RPM & 35 ft/lb.

I googled and went with a place called wearecoupons. I signed up with a hide my email (iCloud feature) email address and paid with PayPal. I ended up buying two in a day and was able to access each within 30 seconds of buying them. Worked and had no issues at all. I am not recommending or vouching for them by any means. I can't speak for how reputable they are, but didn't have any issues and felt pretty well protected with the means I used.

Quick question, i already have the 3/8" stubby impact wrench, both the 1/2" and the 3/8" FUEL have the same internals and power correct? I bought the 3/8" cause most of my sockets and deep sockets are 3/8" and debating if I should also get a 1/2" drive

Any pneumatic or battery powered ratchet worth a damn won't have any problems breaking bolts loose up to 12mm like the person you quoted said. You're missing the point here, we're not talking about breaking lug nuts loose or control arm bolts, just basic fasteners.

Doesn't sound like you've ever used a cordless ratchet. You're going to be very disappointed expecting it to break bolts loose beyond its torque rating. Again a ratchet isn't an impact.

I have a whole arsenal of fuel tools, unfortunately the older ratchets aren't as powerful. I have the one listed here and I've never had a problem removing a single fastener. You're the only one suggesting people use this as an impact, i know when an impact is needed and it's not anywhere near an engine bay unless you're removing a crank bolt. I have literally disassembled engines with this ratchet 🤦🏻

Agree with you here. Even with grade 8, the maximum applicable torque for install would probably be in the neighborhood of 40ft lbs . It's the stuck fasteners that you need the removal power for. In that regard, I've gone in excess of 100 ft lbs for 10 and 12mm heads.
As for air vs cordless.... If you have air, and you don't do this often, why waste money.
I use my non fuel ratchet all the time. I rarely wish for more power, as the fuel is heavier and has a larger body.
This 3/8th reminds of of my butterfly impact, with more power. But for me it has limited use case for automotive, unless your doing engine tear downs and what not.

Just finished a transfer case replacement on a BMW 3 series, and primarily used the M12 stubby. It broke loose driveshaft and exhaust header nuts that I thought I'd need to break out the high torque 2767-20 for (1400 ft lbs of loosening torque).

Highly recommend the stubby for home mechanics. The Fuel version of the ratchet is nice for assembling stuff in tight quarters like suspension or tightening lug bolts before doing the final tightening with a torque wrench as its max torque is 55 lbs. I used to be jealous of air tools but would rather not be tethered nowadays. If the 2767-20 doesn't get it off, you might as well just cut it off.

Might be slim to happen but for some reason I watched a video of a guy that bought a set like this and found out the impact was not the one on the box. SOL. Tried to explain that he got the wrong one but left the store. Some slime ball switched it and returned the low end one. Might want to buy this online and not in the store.

Quote from stkh22 :
FYI. I have both items here.. The stubby is great, I personally use the 1/2 stubby more than my 3/8. The ratchet... being only 35lbs is weak as heck... looks cool, doesn't do much. If you using it to un-thread small bolts, that is the only thing it is useful for. It has a hard time breaking loose 12mm bolts on cars. Sometimes it stalls on certain 10mm bolts. I honestly find it faster just to use my fine tooth hand ratchet for small nuts and bolts.

The only electric ratchet from Milwaukee that is strong enough worth using is the Fuel extended head one that is quite useful and has more power than this one.
The ratchet isn't designed to break things loose under electric power, you have to manually break the nut or bolt loose first either with the ratchet itself or breaker bar. It's basically a nut/bolt turner and i find it to be very useful if you have a lot of nuts and bolts to turn

Nope, all one sku.
Thanks, ended up being able to sell my non-Fuel ratchet for $80 (was brand new) from another package, so was able to upgrade to the fuel version here for not much and of course got the stubby in the deal.

So far the stubby, Fuel 3/8 ratchet and 2767-20 are my most used auto tools. I would like to pick up the extended reach ratchet as well

Totally, though the ratchet can be used to break loose smaller bolts, as long as they're not much larger than around m12 (metric). For example, I used this ratchet to break loose bolts on a power steering pump pulley while it was mounted to my car, with only serpentine belt tension to hold the pulley stationary. 55 ft lbs of torque is plenty for those bolts, and it saved me a ton of time because I didn't have to have a second tool to hold the pulley stationary, and room is tight in the engine bay.

The stubby was able to remove front driveshaft, header to exhaust nuts, but once you get to fasteners much larger than 12mm, I try an impact for a second but then usually bring out a breaker bar plus pipe for leverage and as a last resort get the big daddy 2767-20 with 1400 ft lbs of torque because thing will literally snap bolts in half!
