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.

Quote from Audizzz

This deal is ok, because It was $159, with XC5.0 high output battery and charger this year at home depot

30-day price adjustment, 90-day return policy. If it gets cheaper, either price adjust or return-rebuy.

Just did an online chat price adjustment on mine from the other day. No hassle, quick & easy.

Not hackable. But you should be able to sell the battery for at least $50 locally if you don't need it.

Just a reminder to get the full 550ft lbs out of this you need to use the High Output 5.0 battery. Otherwise the 2/3 and 4.0 batteries make this perform worse than the previous 350ft lb gen of this

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 called in this morning and they adjusted the price for me.

Just did a chat to see if they'd refund the difference from my purchase a couple days ago. They asked how much the difference was and gave me $40!

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.

If they said no, then tell them to order one for you and tell them you will return the one that is charged for 206. I just did that they refunded right away.
