Just be aware there's a gen 2 that just released for $199 with 550 ft-lb rated breakaway vs this one's 250 lb-ft and is slightly more... Stubby
100 would be a deal for tool only. HD had this in the 2.0/4.0 kit for 180 (~112 hacked) the other month. FAO on eBay had the same kit for about 150 with the labor day coupon.

Gen 2 can only hit the higher 550 torque spec with a 5.0 battery, but the power draw on the gen 1 is lower so you can use a 2.0 in some cases. Also seeing posts on social media of the gen 2 being defective for some and not providing much torque.

If you really need the extra torque but not the smaller size, the 1/2 M18 mid torque was only 219 with 5.0 (resistant?) on daily deal at HD last week.
I'll wait for a Gen 2

Had this for years and it's fantastic. Get the 3/8 though as this doesn't have the power to do most things where you'd step up to 1/2 sockets. It shines in sub 3/4-19mm fasteners where you'd typically use 3/8 sockets.

$115 was the hack price for the kit w/ 4/2 batteries. Were did you see the defective reviews for the 2nd gen? trying to decide if I should get 2nd gen.

MUST get the 2ND gen m12 STUBBY IMPACT WRENCH as the TorqueTest YouTube channel has it.
The reviews are in!! [youtu.be]
The 2ND gen is one of the best wrenches ever made thus far, including 18v & 20v & air. However, the HIGH OUTPUT 5amp battery is mandatory, no smaller batteries.

Also change the title please, b/c this is called an impact WRENCH, not a driver. A Driver is a form of impacting screwdriver, so I thought it was the m12 driver, as I am looking for a next gen m12 surge impact driver on super sale.

Didn't know there was a next gen surge driver coming. The original m12 stubby impact wrench & surge driver have been fantastic tools; I haven't ever thought they were lacking, but I rarely regret upgrading to a new tool.

Almost positive a kit with this, 2.0, 4.0 and a charger was hackable to like $120 or so a couple months back. I remember the batteries being a decent deal, and the impact gun coming out to about $40 extra.

This little rattle gun is better suited to 3/8 drive, but the 1/2 is by no means bad, I got it for a 2nd location.

No such news or any real indication that a new Surge is coming, yet. Just hope.

I'd been waiting for it, but finally just ended up pulling the trigger on one of the recent Surge deals. No regrets either - it's significantly quieter/nicer to use; I'll grab it nearly every time over the (technically more powerful) gen 3 impact driver.

I've got this impact wrench too, but it's going to get upgraded to the new 550 ft-lb version once I get a deal on one. This one's a little anemic for getting lug nuts off quickly/reliably... but it's great for everything below that.

Skip this and get the gen 2 if you live in the rust belt, gen 1 can't budge any bolts with slight rust on it.

A great deal for the 1st gen stubby. Some jobs actually need a less powerful tool so it won't damage the threads or over torque.

It's amazing how powerful that is for being so compact. Cordless impacts have come a long, long way in the past 15yrs.

The Dewalt DW059 was a game changer for me back in 2010, it was about 5 times the size of that upcoming gen2 Milwaukee, and about half the torque 300ft lbs.

But that Dewalt was a game changer for me because it meant no more dragging electrical Cords around in man lifts for electric impacts, or before that air hoses, or before that just manually wrenching bolts.

You can always choose a lower power setting.
