This is the newest tool in my arsenal and I must say it’s a serious performer! The size of it is the best thing about it, it literally fits into the tightest spots. Today I’ve been swapping out the rear axle on my son’s best buds superduty and there has only been a couple of times I’ve had to reach for the 1/2” impact. 250 fp of torque in such a small platform is pretty amazing!!

Yeah I feel as if the general consensus is that pretty much everyone is enjoying it for the size and power ratio

I bought one 2 months ago, up until then I thought my Snap On 3/8 cordless ratchet was the best tool I’d ever bought.

With my Snap On 3/8 swivel impact sockets I’m getting timing belts, engine bay work, brakes and light suspension work done much quicker.

I’ve found that it doesn’t work so well with hex or torx bit sockets but other than that it’s flawless

Yes, this lil thing rocks:thumbup: I already off loaded my big (2763-22) 1/2 m18 impact when the mid torque hit but this 3/8" is so light and powerful I am really considering the 1/2" now, anyone else?

I went the opposite way I went with the 1/4” and 3/8”. The 1/2” stubby is exactly the same as the 3/8” except for the anvil. Same power, same size so no gain other than using your 1/2” sockets.

I haven’t used mine yet literally just wrapped them and they will be from Santa.

Does anyone have the m18 fuel 3/8 (not the mid torque) and the new m12? Is there a big enough difference to warrant getting the m12 instead of just going with the 3/8 mid torque?

Why they haven’t come out with a powerful right angle is beyond me.. you’d think (or hope) that would be common sense for them.

IMO the 2754 is pretty much a hasbeen tool now. But if ya got the cards ya play em :lol: The large battery pack with the smaller M18 generally defeats the purpose of compactness where as the Stubby using a compact battery in the handle protrudes no further than where ever your hand can be.

What mode settings are on a stubby?

Are you talking about the M18 compact 3/8 impact? If so, I took a side by side pic when I got my stubby.

You taking m12 or m18? Trying to gauge what to get
