Community Reviews

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.

The included M12 XC High Output 5.0 Ah battery makes the combo especially useful.

The 3/8 drive size fits common Torx and triple-square socket needs.

The stubby form factor delivers strong impact performance in a compact size.

A standard M12 charger can charge the included M12 battery.

Customer service may refuse price matching for "Deals of the Day" promotions.

Timed sales may require returning and reordering instead of receiving an adjustment.

Charging with a standard M12 charger may be slower than faster charging options.

Additional spending may be needed for 3/8 impact sockets to use the wrench effectively.

Common Questions (6)

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.
Taco_Doomsday BoomDeYada rmtdeals sonic99
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.
Bartrand BigTonyTones RelaxedPenguin2752
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.
RelaxedPenguin2752 RelaxedPenguin2752 MX400ex72
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.
ortence91 Spyro777 eeagle
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.
Bartrand eeagle jasesun23
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.

This will be frontpage material, for sure.

Anyone who's been holding out on picking themselves up one of these, you won't be disappointed.

What these can do in such a small form factor is game changing, especially when paired with the 5.0 HO batteries like that comes free with this. 👌

Damn, I just bit on the $206 Home Depot deal a few days ago. I'd have to take a ride share to return it so not worth it. Feel like a sucker.

Just use the customer service chat feature and they should price match you. I did that when I bought a M12 heated hoodie last year, and instead of dropping my price down by $20, he ended up dropping the price TO $20 in error. That was a killer score.

Just did customer service chat. Rep says, "Deals of the Day" & other special buy promotions can't be price matched. Really appreciate you trying to help, though. Thank you, Taco!

Try again with a different service rep. You aren't price matching you are price adjusting for HD's own lower price. I just did the price adjustment and got my $23 back by the end of the chat. Good luck.

Ahhh, screw it. I got one. I have a 12V 1/2 DeWalt that rips and love the darn thing, however more often than not I want something that's 3/8 for sockets such as torx or triple square.
Very good deal especially considering that it comes with a battery.

I just tried w/ another rep, & got the adjustment. Was told this was a 1 time courtesy, & they don't adjust for timed sales. The required process is to return & reorder. Doesn't make sense to me cuz that just wastes their time. Thank you for letting me know you were able to get an adjustment. Thank you both, Taco & rmt! Repped!

Of course it does! M12 charger will charge a m12 battery . It's not the fastest or most efficient way but there's nothing wrong with a standard m12 charger. Many people will say they prefer the slower charge for longer battery life.

Can Home Depot price adjust this Milwaukee deal?

Does the Milwaukee M12 FUEL stubby 3/8 in impact wrench come with a battery, and will a standard M12 charger charge it?

Is the Milwaukee M12 FUEL 3/8 in stubby worth buying if you already own a first-gen stubby or an M18 mid-torque?

Why choose the 3/8 in Milwaukee stubby instead of the 1/2 in version?

Is this Milwaukee stubby combo a good deal at the listed price?

Do you need to buy 3/8 impact sockets separately with this deal?
