Milwaukee's M12 FUEL stubby impact wrench stands out as a compact 3,8 inch tool that hits well above its size, especially with the included 5.0 Ah high output battery. The 3,8 inch drive is the preferred fit for Torx and triple square sockets, and the bundle is attractive because it includes the battery. The main drawback is that the deal is not the lowest seen, and the 3,8 setup may require buying more impact sockets. It is a strong compact option if that size matches your socket set.
DIYers who already use 3/8-inch sockets, because this compact wrench matches that socket size and feels like the right go-to setup.
Shoppers wanting a compact impact with strong punch, because the small form factor is described as game changing when paired with the included high-output battery.
Owners already satisfied with a first-gen stubby and an M18 mid-torque, because this upgrade is described as unnecessary unless the larger tool will not fit.
The 2nd-gen stubby is reported as much stronger than the first-gen and useful when an M18 mid-torque does not fit in tight spaces. If you already have a first-gen stubby or mid-torque that covers your needs, it may be hard to justify unless you want the smaller 3/8 form factor.
The 3/8 in. version is the better fit if you use Torx, triple-square, or other 3/8 sockets and want a compact tool for tighter access. The 1/2 in. combo is also listed at the same price, so the choice mainly comes down to your socket set and preferred drive size.
Deals of the Day and other special buy promotions reportedly cannot be price matched. Some reps will still do a price adjustment as a one-time courtesy, but others may require a return and reorder.
Yes. A standard M12 charger will charge the included M12 battery, though it is not the fastest or most efficient option. The slower charge can also be preferable for battery longevity.
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!
I own the first gen stubby still going strong probably 5 years plus old. I want a 2nd gen . I don't really need it bc I have the first gen. I am seriously considering getting one on this deal.
Does a standard m12 charger work to charge this battery?
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.

The stubby form factor delivers strong impact performance when paired with the included 5.0Ah XC High Output battery.
A standard M12 charger can charge the included M12 XC High Output 5.0Ah battery.
The 3/8 size matches common sockets like Torx and triple square for users with existing 3/8 setups.
The bundle can be worthwhile when you specifically want the 3/8 impact tool plus the included battery.
Customer service may refuse price matching for Deals of the Day or other special buy promotions.
Timed sales adjustments may require returning and reordering instead of a simple adjustment.
Buying the 3/8 impact wrench can require additional spending on 3/8 impact sockets.
Upgrading may feel unnecessary for users who already own a first-gen stubby or an M18 mid-torque impact.

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. 👌
