Loving the M12 Stubby

[Ktmrider83]

Used it all day on a Honda Oddysey engine job. Pulled every fastener including axle nuts and subframe bolts. Basically replacing my old 18v Makita. Love the autostop mode too.

I'm a little over 2 weeks on my 3/8 stubby and I love it to.

Mine arrives Friday and I can't wait! I used my 2553-20 m12 impact driver I picked up the other day for the first time today hanging some 1/2" plywood in the garage and it is every bit as fast and efficient as my 18v Rigid driver with the benefit of being about a 1/3 the weight and size. After playing with that I'm REALLY excited to see what the stubby will do.

I assume that is a 1/2” drive?

 

[Ktmrider83]

Yes.

Sounds good. I have the 3/8 version on order.

I have been lusting after one since I saw them in the store and held it in my hand.

Is that the 3.5 motor? What went wong?

My 3/8 version is coping well, however i still prefer my snap-on with the dual trigger and my 1/2 M18 compact. Great tool though.

Where do you live ktmrider83?

My 3/8 non fuel m18 will take off the lug nuts of my old 95 mason dump thats been plowed with.

I'm still not quite ready to jump on the Milwaukee stubby impact bandwagon yet. I deal with a lot of seized fasteners and I already have a 3/8 fuel ratchet for light work. If the power rating goes up by another 100-150 ft lbs by the next gen of the tool, then it will be able to compete with my air cat.

I live in Maryland, I found setting 2 is just about perfect for lugnuts. Yes, 3.5 engine with 250k on it. Its a long story about the engine..but Im going in tomorrow to replace the front cat. The innerds are rattling around like crazy, looks like a tight fit now thatvthe engine is back in there. More power would always be nice but its pretty damn good the way it is
