Milwaukee's M12 FUEL stubby 3.8 impact wrench stands out for big torque in a compact body, especially with the included 5.0 Ah high output battery. The 3.8 drive fits sockets like Torx and triple square, and the tool is seen as a meaningful upgrade over the first generation, with some comparing its punch to an M18 mid torque. The main catch is that the deal may still require extra spending on 3.8 impact sockets, and the upgrade is less compelling if an M18 already fits your jobs. A strong compact option when size matters.
DIY mechanics working on Torx or triple-square fasteners, because the compact 3/8-inch head fits those sockets well and still delivers strong torque.
People upgrading from an older first-generation stubby, because the second generation is still going strong after years of use and feels like a meaningful step up.
Mechanics who already own a capable larger impact wrench and rarely need extra clearance, because this compact model is mainly worth it when the bigger tool does not fit.
A price adjustment can work through Home Depot chat, but timed promotions like Deals of the Day may be refused by some reps. The practical workaround is to ask for a price adjustment rather than a price match, and some chats have successfully refunded the difference.
Yes, this combo includes an M12 XC High Output 5.0 Ah battery pack, and a standard M12 charger will charge it. The included battery is part of why the deal is considered strong, and the charger works normally even if it is not the fastest option.
It is a meaningful upgrade over the first-gen stubby and can be close to an M18 mid-torque in capability, but it is mainly worth it when the smaller M12 size fits where the M18 does not. If your current tool already covers your jobs, saving the money is the practical choice.
The 3/8 in model is preferred for sockets like Torx and triple square, and it matches the socket sets some buyers already own. The 1/2 in version is available at the same price, but the 3/8 in is the better fit for those use cases.
The combo is viewed as especially strong because it includes the 5.0 Ah High Output battery, and some buyers consider it hard to pass up around $164.70. One comparison notes that adding a socket set can push the total higher, so the value depends on whether you need the bundle extras.
Yes, if you do not already own 3/8 impact sockets, you will likely need to spend more on them. The wrench itself is a strong value, but the socket set is an extra cost to factor in.
There is another deal with this stubby and set of 36 socket and packout for $356? Is it a good deal if i dont have socket
The 36 piece packout socket set sells for 175 normally. Add the Tool deal and socket kit and price is 358 so nothing special. Socket set is way overpriced but if you wanted it choose the tool deal then it gives you a choice to "buy with" for 5% off. You'll get both for $350.

If a Mil/Vet this is just too hard to pass up $164.70 @shopmyexchange.com HD link
also, the 1/2 in is also the same price, but a quick review of the use of forums convinced me the 3/8" is the choice for me. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwa...-n/a-_-n/a
