Deal Details
Synergy via Amazon has Milwaukee M18 FUEL Mid-Torque 3/8" Impact Wrench (Tool Only, 2960-20) on sale for $146. Shipping is free.

Thanks to Community Member FairStraw7272 for finding this deal.

Product Details:
  • Best power to weight ratio is offered as the tool provides 600 ft-lbs. of nut-busting torque at only 5.0 lbs. with a 5.0Ah battery.
  • 6.0" in length provides most access in tight spaces
  • Tri-LEDs deliver high definition lighting to increase workspace visibility with less shadows
  • 4-Mode DRIVE CONTROL provides greater control over output speed and power. Includes auto shut-off and bolt-removal mode
    • Auto shut-off mode prevents over tightening and increases productivity by applying no more than 35 ft-lbs. of torque.
    • Bolt-removal mode offers more control after bolt breakaway as RPMs drastically slow down once the bolt is loosened.

Tool came in sealed packaging from Home Depot. The only "unique" situation is that these are lug bolts not lug nuts. I don't see why that would make a difference.
The Torque Test Channel on youtube measured the little M12 Stubby at something like 230 ft-lbs actual torque which should easily take care of a fastener tightened to 110 ft-lbs. Even my tiny Ridgid 3/8" subcompact can handle that job.

The wrench in general is more than capable, so there's something about your situation that is holding it back.

Lol ok…
To everyone out there reading this nonsense, please ignore the stubby and get at least the mid-torque to ensure you don't have a pricey paper weight.

The M12 stubby is no joke. This guy [youtube.com] torqued a semi-truck lug to 260 ft-lbs and it was able to loosen it. That you can't remove fasteners that you torqued to only 110 ft-lbs points to something being wrong with your particular situation as that wrench should be more than capable of that task.

Lug bolts are not seized, nor am I having difficulty removing them with a wrench by hand. What I'm saying is that after re-installing the bolts and torquing them to 110 ft lb this stubby cannot remove them (2555-20).
Gotcha.
The stubby you listed is not the mid torque the op posted.
If you're not happy with the M12 stubby, return it and get a mid torque or a 2767? It's entirely possible that you got a defective tool. I does happen.
I love my stubby. It's torqued down and taken off 15/16 nuts. (ahem, ahem, using the chrome socket - no, I didn't do that, lol.) Trust me, I was wearing my safety glasses just in case....

Hopefully you got this from Home Depot and they have a 90 day return policy if you wish to return it. After all, it truly may be defective. I've seen what this impact can do on the Torque Test Channel on yt. It's a beast.
