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.

Timely. I'm about to do a suspension overhaul and have been holding off on getting one.

Milwaukee makes good tools, but the 3/4" will struggle with even smaller 4 door German cars and getting those lug nuts off in a timely fashion, never mind something more beefy like a large pickup truck.

Yes it's the same tool M12 Stubby and they make a 1/2 inch version.

This has 550lbs of breaking torque.. that should be plenty for the vast majority of applications outside of something like maybe an axle nut but even then I've had luck breaking axle nuts with mine

The 1/2in version of this gun is the same exact gun as the 3/8 only with the 1/2 anvil.

My truck has a 140 ft-lb setting. What vehicles are you talking about that a 550 ft.lb impact can't remove?!

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.
Are you thinking half inch sockets start at 24mm?

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.
data point: I bought as part of this deal (after having previously bought an Amazon Warehouse deal that wound up being a M12 Screwdriver that someone stuffed into a Stubby box Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)). It showed up today, in a new looking box. Checked the serial via the warranty checker that Milwaukee provides and it says that the tool is (estimated) valid for warranty through 2030 (or whatever).

Now that I think about it, that's a year less than it should be for the 5 year, so it's possible that this is the tradeoff of a non-auth'd dealer (maybe _they_ picked up a bunch last year), but -- not something I'm concerned with, for warranties like these where you have to ship 'em the tool I basically assume I'm probably SOL if the tool breaks.

But, in any case, it seems like the tool is authentic. Not the best deal -- I managed to miss the HomeDepot 2025 Cyber Monday-ish deal on this where it was the tool + the 5ah high output batt for $159, but I think $159 is about as low as the new price has gone in the subsequent 6 months (or at least that I've caught -- there were a few HD deals that sold out immediately in Feb/Mar).

There's currently a hack going on Home Depot where you can get the kit (wrench, 5Ah battery, charger, case) for $208.53 when you hack it with the ratchet: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwa.../330838850

Better deal IMO

I am assuming you meant 3/8.
Don't let the Stubby name deceive you. This 12-volt tool will do circles around most 18v-20v tools.
Sounds like you haven't held a red Stubby yet ⚡︎❤️💪

Agreed. The tool price at $159 and High Output 5ah for $50.

For those who want full power out of Stubby, this battery is necessary. At $50 for this battery, that is the lowest at this time. Plus you get the $20 case and the charger. It's a no brainer if you are set on the Stubby.

Just a slickdeal comment:
$159 for the kit including the HO 5ah battery and soft case would be a very exciting deal.

You got a good deal. I'm guessing it was a hack deal. Good buy no matter how.

Then we look out for the new low below $159 for the tool, HO 5ah battery, case and charger, and a free accessory or extra battery! 😁
