Milwaukee's M12 FUEL stubby impact wrench stands out as a compact 3,8 inch tool that hits hard, especially with the included 5.0 Ah high output battery. The 3,8 size fits tighter spots and matches common Torx and triple square sockets, while the battery is compatible with standard M12 chargers. The main drawback is that the deal is not the lowest seen, and the 3,8 setup may push extra spending on impact sockets. It is a strong compact option if that size fits your work.

Common Questions (5)

The 3/8-inch version is preferred when you want sockets like Torx or triple-square and already own 3/8 impact sockets. The 1/2-inch combo is also listed at the same price, but the 3/8-inch model is the better fit for tighter work and existing 3/8 socket sets.

If your current tool already fits the jobs you do, you probably do not need the upgrade. The 2nd-gen stubby is reported to be much stronger than the first-gen and useful when an M18 mid-torque is too large for tight spaces.

Deals of the Day and other special buy promotions are reported as not price-matchable. A price adjustment through chat has worked for some orders, but it may be treated as a one-time courtesy and sometimes requires a return-and-reorder for timed sales.
Taco_Doomsday BoomDeYada rmtdeals BoomDeYada
The bundle is considered strong because the stubby form factor is compact and the included 5.0Ah High Output battery adds value. Some shoppers still view it as only okay because similar bundles were seen for $159 earlier, and the 3/8-inch version may require buying additional impact sockets.
Bartrand 45root jasesun23 Audizzz
Yes. A standard M12 charger will charge the battery, though it is not the fastest or most efficient option. The slower charge can also be preferable for battery longevity.

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.

That was a year ago; this is the lowest it's been this year (and chargers are a dime a dozen with other tool deals)

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. 👌

Agreed. I use this more than any other power tool in my arsenal. Awesome impact.

I think HD adopted the same algorithm as Amazon. It checks for high volume within a short time.

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.

Best For / Not Worth It If (7)

Pros & Cons (8)

Common Questions (5)

Is the 3/8-inch Milwaukee M12 FUEL stubby the better choice than the 1/2-inch version?

Should I buy the 3/8-inch Milwaukee M12 FUEL stubby if I already have a first-gen stubby or an M18 mid-torque?

Can Home Depot price match or price adjust this deal?

Is this Milwaukee M12 FUEL stubby deal worth it?

Does a standard M12 charger work with the included M12 XC High Output 5.0Ah battery?
