Community Reviews

This M12 Fuel stubby impact wrench bundle stands out for compact size and surprising punch, especially when paired with the XC High Output 5.0 Ah battery. It is praised for lug nuts, axle nuts, caliper bolts, and other stubborn fasteners, with the 5.0 battery seen as the setup that unlocks its full performance. The 3/8 inch drive fits general use well, though larger bolts and socket sizes often favor 1/2 inch tools. The kit does not include a charger, and the price is viewed as fair but not the lowest seen.

Common Questions (5)

Yes. It is used successfully for lug nuts, lug bolts, axle nuts, caliper bolts, and even stubborn exhaust bolts, and it can break loose old fasteners very quickly for its size.

Yes. The 5.0 Ah High Output battery is the best match for this stubby and is needed to get its maximum power; smaller 2.0/3.0 Ah packs do not show its full potential.
OneDodger NeatDime8153 adchou
The 3/8 in. stubby is great for lug nuts and general use, but larger bolts are more commonly handled with 1/2 in. impact sockets. Using adapters can reduce torque, and 3/8 in. socket sets often top out at smaller sizes than 1/2 in. sets.
Vannita CrimsonIdea4025 Vannita
For many fastener jobs, yes. The M12 stubby is described as plenty powerful for most tasks while being much smaller, and the M18 equivalent is noted as larger without being more powerful in this use case.
RelaxedPenguin2752 realral UnstableChimp
No. The kit does not come with a charger.

I see lots of these m12 deals. is 12v milwaukee really good/powerful enough vs 18v?

I opted for the M18 to ensure I had sufficient power for any task. It's better to be overpowered than under equipped

The m18 equivalent of this is actually less powerful and much larger . The mid torque is really plenty of power for most task but it's also 3xs the physical size .

My thoughts are I could always use more batts but I own a couple of these 5.0's already. The cheapest I remember seeing tool only was around 150$ . A deal similar will come again. If I really needed another 5 for 60$ more ain't bad. I'm going to wait. I own 3.0 cp 2.0cp I don't own a 2.5 h.o. yet maybe I will come across a stubby and 2.5 deal in the future.

Makes sense. Good point about the 5.0. I don't have any, but do have one 4.0 and one 6.0 but neither are HO. I'll give it more thought but appreciate your outlook.

3x is major exaggeration. For my use, I have more than enough clearance for my M18, so the larger size doesn't bother me at all.

I actually got in on this deal back in December, when this same kit was $159. Ridiculous power in this tiny thing... I think even at $210 probably a good buy.

No, I'd wait till yours is broken especially if it's serving you well.

Great deal! At 199.99, folks would jump all over this pairing. $10 more isn't a big ask. For reference, I got the tool only from a FP deal here a couple of weeks ago for 150 (Fasteners Inc, Authorized dealer) and two XC 5.0 batteries from Woot for 109 (non authorized dealer but 50 capital one statement credit). Ultimately my purchase will net the same as this deal and I have 2 batteries, but this is no hoops to jump through and I might regret having 2 batteries from a non-authorized dealer even if Milwaukee warranties the born on dates.

199 with a 4.0, 10 upgrade for the h.o. 5.0

I use both. I love my M12 for impact drill, driver, grease gun, and any tool that you want a reliable lighter version. It's great for lighter weight and using for all pretty much any project that uses fasteners. Used them to install an entire exterior wall of Versetta Stone.
I like the M18 for nailers and saws and other cutting tools. I feel the added weight gives me a little more precision and safety for cutting, and obviously longer lasting.

I used a low profile 1/2 inch adapter adapter and was able to pull the crank bolt and pulley off a 14 year old LS3 with this setup. It also got the crusty exhaust bolts out.

You lose power when you use an adapter, would rather have a 1/2 drive and use adapter 1/2 to 3/8 as stuff that's for that size don't need a lot of power.

Yea, but using an adapter you lose torque and most 3/8" impact socket sets only go up to 24mm compared to 32mm for 1/2" sets, so with 3/8" you have to find and buy individual sockets for the larger sizes.

In 4 one with the HO 5.0 battery 🔋. Could be cheaper but the price seems reasonable with inflation and these trarrifs. You must have a HO 5.0 for this one to max powet
