Post the Gen 2 version 2 debacle apparently Milwaukee went back to designing their **** the right way instead of finding a cheapest way to do it. Nice to see that they found religion.
Wow - no stock anywhere around here...

I don't see your point. The M12 stubby does one type of job and the High-Torque does completely other type of work. For car top of engine work you can't beat the M12 stubby. Small, light and really powerful for the size.
I currently have a Mid Gen3, which isn't really much bigger than the Stubby and far grumpier (it came later than the Stubby). So I'd lose a bit of flexibility and weight savings for a grump machine.
At one point I had everything - lol:
Sold the as-new 2767 here on GJ, and sold the Mid to a good friend. I really wanted to tri-lights and the Mode 1 on the Mid. The Gen2 was essentially a baby 2767, which still yielded a sorta sizeable package.
But in use, the Stubby and the Mid Gen3 are pretty close... (Stubby on the right)
The problem is Mid Gen3 does so well for me I'm not sure I can really justify the Gen3 HiTorque.

My parents were full of $hit, procrastination in my case has paid off. Never pulled the trigger on the Gen 2 high torque. Just need to wait a little bit longer for the package deals to roll out...

I rarely use the 2767 because it is too heavy and unbalanced. It does do the job when I occasionally run into something stubborn, but if the 2967 is heavier still, it’s a deal killer.
Like I said, though, the 2767 has all the beans I have needed so far, so I’m not in the market anyway.
Saving my money for a Swag finger press brake.

i have the gen 3 mid, the stubby and the gen 1 hi torque. unless its a heck of alot of more power I dont see a reason to bother. the hi torque is so large its hard to fit in spots.
frankly i find the 3/8 stubby the most useful. my only wish is they would make the stubby as compact as the makita, its quite big for its size overall.

My mouse has been hovering over the "Add to Cart" button over the last day or so...
And I'm not going to do it.
The Mid Gen2 (which is the latest version I think. My understanding is the Gen3 in this size is the "Compact" - essentially the Stubby for M18) gets everything I've needed. I like the idea of one. I don't need one.

I like the headlights. I like the tapered snout. Wonder what the balance is like? My 2767 is a ***** when it comes to balance and ergo. Honestly I prefer oldschool air tools as opposed to the 2767, but what it lacks in balance it makes up for in convenience.
I'd guess being a little lighter and a lot shorter will help it. TTC gave it a decent wrist-breaking score (for a High Torque).
Welp, Dewalt didn't let that title go for very long at all with the intro of its ridiculous new DCF961

Dewalt DCF961, Retaking the top 1/2" High-Torque Title
Dewalt didn't let Milwaukee wear this crown for even 3 weeks this time before they barged in a took it back with this heavy *** hammer, hanging with Milwaukee's 1".

I think I killed my old 2663 working on heavy equipment yesterday. It's 12 years old and I've gotten a lot of use out of it, so I'm not complaining. Looks like I'm going to upgrade to the 2967; will be nice to have something more powerful and more compact.
