| Product Description: | The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 3/8 in. Compact Impact Wrench with Friction Ring is the most compact in its class, delivering users the most access in tight spaces, up to 250 ft./lbs. of nut-busting torque, and maximum workspace visibility. This battery-powered impact wrench measures only 4.8 in. L with a POWERSTATE Brushless motor to provide the power to remove stubborn fasteners, even in confined spaces. The Milwaukee 3/8 in. impact wrench has tri-LEDs that surround the anvil to deliver users brighter light with fewer shadows. 4-Mode DRIVE CONTROL offers greater precision with a range of pre-set RPM and IPM levels, selectable from a single button on the tool. By selecting Mode 4, AUTO SHUT-OFF control applies no more than 20 ft./lbs. of torque for hand-tight fastening applications to prevent overtightening. Mode 4 also features Bolt Removal Control delivers full torque output, then decreases RPMs once the bolt is loosened to prevent fastener drops. REDLINK PLUS Intelligence electronics make these controls possible while ensuring maximum performance, protecting the tool against overloads, over-heating, and over-discharge. The M18 REDLITHIUM battery pack (not included) fits M18 cordless tools, delivering more work per charge and more work over the life of the pack. |

I have a Milwaukee 1/2 inch impact, which is big and heavy, and a Milwaukee 12V 3/8" impact driver, which is very small and light.
The purpose of these tools is to help you work fast. When I want to pull a tire, loosen a touch brake rotor bolt. or loosen suspension bolts, the 1/2 inch is the only tool. The 3/8", for me, is a pain cause a lot of times it won't loosen the bolt and then I have to go get the 1/2" tool I should have grabbed in the first place.
But then for smaller bolts, like a bunch of bolts holding a valve cover or some assembly, the little 12V impact driver is lighter, smaller, and has plenty of torque. So I almost never find myself using the 3/8" tool. Maybe if you work on cars all day long, every day, the little impact driver isn't tough enough and it will just break. Otherwise, there are more useful power tools for working on cars.

that's an outdated impact. even the new M12 stubby 3/8" is way more powerful while being half the size. you can typically get it for around $120. that means you're paying $200 for those 3 batteries which, again, are not worth it with all the forge sales going on.
