Community Reviews

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.

Common Questions (5)

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.
RelaxedPenguin2752 Audizzz MX400ex72 samGD3
Yes, a standard M12 charger will charge the battery. It may be slower than a dedicated fast charger, but it is compatible and usable.
garycoleman BigTonyTones RelaxedPenguin2752
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.
ortence91 eeagle Spyro777
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.

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.

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.
