This or the Kobalt 24v with free charger and 2 batteries going for $150. Already bought the Kobalt last time but I'm more invested in M12 batteries.

This is not a necessary tool but it's great to have when you need it!! I've probably used mine 5-10 times since I bought it, but it was great to have!

Isn't the kobalt bigger in size? That might make a difference in certain spots.

I can't comment on the kobalt but I have this thing, and it is a beast. It is by far one of my favorite tools. Got it a year or 2 ago on a similar deal and I am so glad. I wasn't super amused about having to switch to the 12v platform but I ended up buying a couple other M12 tools and they've been great. This though is definitely my favorite. The project farm guy did a review on it and I think that was maybe what convinced me.. I've used it on tons of projects from building shiz to tearing down playhouses with rusted nuts to working on a dozen or so car projects and I don't even feel like I've broken it in yet. Hope this helps.... Oh, thought of another thing, works great on cars too when you need a right angle but don't want a knuckle buster to see how well your gloves are going to save your hands. Only thing is the head is pretty fat so sometimes that is a limitation but for the most part it's been awesome.

I saw the torque review on Youtube and this barely makes the torque claim, claims 220lbs but only barely makes 140lbs

This tool isn't meant to be high torque.

Your arm provides the torque for the initial break and/or final turn, the tool does everything in-between.
You're thinking of a completely different tool 2567-20, a cordless ratchet used to break the nut/bolt manually and then loosen it automatically. This model 2560-20 is absolutely what they claim it is, a right angle "impact" wrench that hardly meets its claim. I love Milwaukee M12 lineups, I own four of their ratchets, but this one I'm going to skip.

I don't think anyone considers 220 ft lbs as high torque.

Milwaukee did themselves a disservice by overstating their claims.

It's their advertisement against real-world results.

For a proper analysis of this tool vs. the Kobalt, you really need to watch 3 videos.
1. Torque Test Channel's first one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cgw99dFjvrk
2. Project Farm's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwlrdGT_U3A
3. TTC's follow-up video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LMnCZFpbys

To summarize, TTC found the Kobalt beating the M12; PF found the M12 beating the Kobalt; then TTC found that the outcome depends on specific tool/battery combinations.

They both have about the same head size, so the heads should fit into the same places.

I have the Kobalt and it's great in terms of power, but I'm still somewhat considering picking up this M12 as the overall length and bulk is MUCH lower, so if you need to fit the whole length of the tool into small spaces, this one will work out better.

It's very much a YMMV situation.

Given that in most situations a standard impact wrench, even the M12 stubby, will fit and work, how often are you going to really need this vs. pulling out a breaker bar and cheater pipe, or perhaps an angle adapter and extensions to reach a hard to reach fastener? Seems pretty niche unless you're a pro or do a ton of vehicle repair, upgrade and restoration. Auto restoration YouTuber Sarah-N-Tuned uses it regularly, but even then it just doesn't seem like the right tool vs. a standard impact wrench for most of what she does with it.

if that's the case... what's the point of having an impact? you aren't even using the impact function when it's free spinning. the M12 ratchets are smaller and lighter.
