Milwaukee's M12 FUEL stubby impact wrench stands out as a compact 3 8 inch tool that punches above its size, especially with the included High Output 5.0 Ah battery. The 3 8 drive fits Torx and triple square sockets well, and the battery is standard M12 charger compatible. The deal also looks stronger if the battery can be resold or if the tool fills a tight spot where an M18 mid torque will not fit. The main caveat is that full output depends on the 5.0 battery, and the 3 8 setup may require buying more sockets.
DIYers who already own 3/8-inch sockets, because this size matches common Torx and triple-square fasteners.
Shoppers replacing an aging first-generation stubby, because the second generation is described as much stronger and the older tool can still be working after years.
Owners expecting strong performance from smaller batteries, because the tool can perform worse than the previous generation unless paired with the 5.0Ah high-output pack.
Deals of the Day and other special buy promotions reportedly cannot be price matched, but a price adjustment may still be possible through chat. Some reps have refunded the difference on recent purchases, while others said the process requires a return and reorder.
The second-generation stubby is a major upgrade over the first-gen and is especially useful when an M18 mid-torque does not fit in tight spots. If your current tools already cover those situations, the upgrade is optional rather than necessary.
The 3/8-inch model is the better fit if you use Torx, triple-square, or other 3/8-inch sockets and want a compact tool for tighter spaces. The 1/2-inch version is also the same price, but the 3/8-inch is the preferred choice for many socket setups.
Yes. The advertised 550 ft-lbs output requires the High Output 5.0Ah battery; with 2.0Ah, 3.0Ah, or 4.0Ah batteries, performance drops below the previous 350 ft-lb generation. The included battery is also the one that makes the bundle most worthwhile.
I have a first gen stubby and an m18 mid torque. Do i need this?
Pretty sure this this m12 is on par with the m18 mid torque. And this m13 is way better than the 1st gen.But probably only reason to get this would be if you have run into situations where the m18 didn't fit and this would. If that's not the case, then just stick with what you have and save yourself from spending $200.
Not working at my Home Depot. Says today only but at checkout even though it shows a large quantity, it says not available for pickup, store deliver or home delivery.
I just bought this last week at $206, haven't had a chance to use it yet. Ordered again today and will return the other one, easy way to save an additional $23 + the extra sales tax.
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 get those "one time courtesies" all the time. Never more than one a day though.

Home Depot price adjustments can yield refunds after chat when the request is handled as an adjustment rather than a price match.
The stubby form factor delivers strong performance when paired with the included M12 XC High Output 5.0Ah battery.
A standard M12 charger can charge the included M12 XC High Output 5.0Ah battery.
The 3/8 size matches common socket needs like Torx and triple square without forcing a 1/2-inch setup.
The 3/8 impact wrench purchase can require additional spending on compatible 3/8 impact sockets.
Deals of the Day and other special buy promotions may not be eligible for price matching through customer service chat.
Timed sales may require returning and reordering instead of receiving an adjustment during the chat process.
The tool may not reach the advertised 550 ft-lbs output unless the High Output 5.0Ah battery is used.

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. 👌
