Milwaukee's M12 3 8 Stubby impact wrench is a compact, powerful car tool that shines for lug nuts, mower blades, and other routine garage jobs. The smaller, lighter body makes it easier to use around the car than full size impacts, and the 550 pound feet of breakaway torque is enough for most tasks. The main limits are its 3 8 drive, which means needing matching sockets and sometimes adapters, and tougher stubborn fasteners can still call for a bigger M18. The tool only deal also raises some warranty and seller confidence questions because it is not from an authorized dealer.
DIY drivers doing routine car maintenance, because it is compact, light, and strong enough for most wheel and underhood jobs.
Yes for most car work, including many lug nuts, F-150/Civic/camper tasks, and mower blade removal. It has 550 lb-ft of breaking torque and is described as enough for 95%+ of jobs, though stubborn nuts and axle nuts can still require a bigger impact.
No, this listing is tool-only at $159. A prior $159 purchase included an XC5.0 battery and charger, and another Home Depot kit deal with battery, charger, and case was cited at about $208.53.
The seller is not an authorized Milwaukee dealer. That can matter because authorized purchases use the purchase date for warranty timing, while non-authorized sourcing may leave the warranty based on manufacture date and potentially already shortened or expired.
For compactness, yes: the 3/8-inch Stubby is much smaller and lighter than full-size impacts while still handling most jobs. The tradeoff is that you need 3/8-inch impact sockets, and some users prefer the 3/8 version for this tool class.
Yes, but you may need adapters. One setup uses a 3/8-to-1/2 adapter to run a torque stick, though the adapter can limit torque transfer and make stubborn lug nuts harder to remove.
Not sure why the down votes. HD did have this for $269 with a 5ah XR battery, could be "hacked" down to $208+tax, again with a battery and charger. So without the battery and charger $159 seems like a legit deal for this extremely useful and powerful 3/8". Works very well around the car.

I replaced my 1/2 inch impact with this and I have 0 regrets, f150, civic, camper, mower blade removal lol... If you are just doing car stuff this is more than enough
This is a really good product at a really good price. Downvoters must be confused.
This has a much smaller and lighter profile than full sized impact wrenches, yet can do 95%+ of jobs. I almost never pull out the bigger ones.
Keep in mind that this is 3/8, not 1/2, so if you commit to it, you will also need a set of 3/8 impact sockets. I have the gearwrench set and it's been fantastic.

I agree the price is good. The seller is not an authorized Milwaukee dealer so keep that in mind.

This will get the same push back as the last deal post from this 3rd party seller through Walmart - not listed as an authorized dealer, reviews for supposedly shipped fakes/used or never received item. I still think those concerns are on the fringe. It's fulfilled through Walmart and listed as available for 90 day returns. Seller's rating is 4.7, which is on the high end for 3rd party on Walmart. That doesn't mean you could still catch issues, but my guess is it's less likely than other 3rd party sellers. I went ahead and grabbed one, so I'll update if I eat my words.

Call me crazy but the 3/8 has always been the preferred version. Who is realistically using sockets larger than 24mm on a gun rated at 550. They also sell the low profile adapter sleeves.

Didn't mention the most important piece of information.... Location lol Midwest or not
Authorized reseller doesn't matter. Warranty is based of serial number
It does matter. If you buy from an authorized seller, the warranty timeframe is based on when you bought it. If not, and if you do receive a legitimate product, the warranty is based on when it was made, but since the sourcing of the product is suspect, you have no idea how long it's been sitting in some warehouse, in customs (perhaps in various countries), or on ships being sent from one country to another to another, and that warranty may already be expired or close to it. You just never really know.

The seller's address, if its even legitimate, is a single family home in Maryland. That's sketchy as hell for a tool dealer.

I already have one of these, and I totally get it - how someone could be skeptical about that. There are a lot of positive ratings for the seller however, 4.7 out of 5 on average. They look like legit reviews. To get the lower prices one must be comfortable dealing with this kinda stuff as this pricing doesn't usually come around from all re-sellers.

I have a 3/8 Milwaukee and it does everything I need it to on my car. My only complaint is that I can't find a 3/8 torque stick for lug nuts. I use a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter so I can use a torque stick. I know people say they don't work on electric impacts but it works for me. Without it my torque wrench clicks before I can turn the nuts. With it I get about 1/4 turn before my torque wrench clicks
