*Awesome impact **MyBest.Tools** Takes tires off in a second. Plenty of power for what I’ve used it for - rotating tires. Using it on 3rd setting for removal and 2nd setting for tightening lugs.*
I purchased this as an impulse buy and had buyers remorse before even trying it. Tested it on my lugnuts on my truck and it took them off with no struggle. Don't regret buying it at all now 😂
same happened to me today ordered m12 stubby with 6.0ah battery cant wait to test it tho 😂
Did you get the 3/8 or 1/2 version? Is there an advantage to getting the 1/2? I hear some people say the 3/8 is stronger.
Gotta love this guy's excitement
My 3/8" stubby with 3/8 to 1/2 adapter and a 43mm socket on it, took off an axel nut torqued to 200 ft. lbs that hadn't been removed in 10 years and the bolt was cross-threaded. So the bolt was def tighter than 200 ft. lbs with rust and all.. I couldn't believe it..It took about 15 secs then stopping then 10 more seconds.. but it took it off crazy stuff... They are amazing! My friend bought 1 the very next day...
Love my stubby impact, easily rotated my tires with all lugs torqued to 100 ftlb. Had a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter and a flip socket. Very great investment.
Awesome review and already purchased the 1/2 one. All I could see was your boat saying Ass Tracker instead of Bass Tracker.😂

Milwaukee Power Tools are a Beast" Definitely Ahead of all other brands. 💪
That was impressive and the thing about a air impact is most tire places have them set to high. Then when you’re on the side of the road with a lug wrench you can’t get the lugs off. So you have to pay 💰 to get roadside assistance out to take your tire off. Saves money and busted knuckles. Great video. Thanks for the review videos. That’s one of the great things about TH-cam. It’s crazy to spend money on something with out checking it out first.
Bought the mid torque m18 just now. Just because I got a great price and It'll take off over torqued lugs.
But thinking about getting the m12 stubby for my step dad. He's hammering with a corded pos cheap impact wrench that struggle with lugs and weigh a ton.
He also loves tinkering and repairing lawn mowers and snow blowers. I think he'll fall in love. And It'll make it easy on his hands.
I have the 3/8 stubby. Its a great lil gun to fit in tight spaces. Car Wheel lugs and suspension work. Im a bus mechanic so i use it on other stuff like batteries. Light engine work/ brackets and other stuff. This gun should be able to remove most car lugs unless they have been over torqued. And they are most of the time. Alot of guys use air guns to put wheels back on and not torque to spec. Some use torque sticks.
The 250 ft lb spec on and off are a little conservative. The 1/2” can take off nuts just over 330 ft lbs!!! 250 ft lbs is probably good for putting on nuts, but could be inconsistent, so a torque wrench and mode 4 is recommended.
They work great I use them on all my mowers I have a Lawn Service give ya a little hint get some Deck Grafit paint and clean your deck then paint it never have great stuck underneath your deck love the videos
Glad you did this because this is what mine will be used for mainly. Amongst other things but regularly, changing blades.
You will be very happy with it. I use both of mine pretty often.
cotontop3 I’m going with half inch probably. Would you go with 1/2 or 3/8?
Both are exactly the same other than the anvil size. I would go with 1/2 and u can always adapt down if u need to.
cotontop3 awesome. That’s what I did after watching some more videos
I was looking for a M12 3/8 ratchet but glad I saw this because those are nice and got more power I would definitely get the 1/2 one!! Thanks for the info!
Excavating 320 same here lol your comment just saved me watching the whole video. Thank you 🙌🏼
M12 - 1/2" and 3/8" have the same torque...the only difference is LITERALLY THE drive at the end smh
Beta Rey Bill yes I know that but there is or was two different models
@@Excavating320 I know there is or was...I was just making a statement in case you got confused by this youtuber...cause he insinuated the 1/2" model being stronger than the 3/8"...which its not...they're literally the same thing internally...thats all
@@betareybill9400 You don't need 250 lb-ft for most 3/8 bolts. Get a smaller tool for that.
That stubby is awsome I have the 3/8 and it’s one of my favorite tools I own , congrats on your promo!
Good enough for wheel nuts??
@@kanehowl1582 yes, mine are torqued to 100lbs and it takes them off like nothing!
I got mine and i love it so much already, i love these super small yet powerful powertools, so awesome!
I have the 1/2 inch one and is a beast I recommend it to anyone that is interested on buying one of this
You could get the clearance if you used the astro pneumatic stubby impact sockets since they are about half the length of standard length impact sockets. You can get a set of 10 to 24mm metric for $50.
I just got an M12 fuel impact driver and even that little bastard took off all my lugnuts with a 3/8" adapter to a medium size impact socket. 2.5 battery. On a car which was last worked on over a year ago by one of those quick tire shops. I only had a struggle on one lugnut, but I switched to the 4.0 battery and it came right off. These things are incredible. I'm looking into getting the stubby next. Im torn between the M12 and the M18 3/8" fuel stubby I hear they make the same torque.
The only difference between the 2 stubbies are the anvil size.
August 2019, the new 1" milwaukee impact is out, and the high output battery series. The larger the battery, the more power it puts out (word on the street, there is noticeable difference). Don't buy the kit, comes with two batteries that are lame, waste of money. Spend up front and get the high output battery set, so you have a back up. The 1/2" is enough for semi truck wheel install/removal at 475 ft lb spec for the nuts.
Got the M12 1/2 stubby kit as the special buy of the for $100! 😎 What a score
I have the half inch and just bought my dad one too for his birthday. Small compact with plenty of power. Easier than breaking out the high torque.
❤️ this video. Love your energy. I got the 1/2 inch and love this tool.
I use the 2967 high torq and i use the M-18 3/8 COMPACT WITH THE 3.0 BATTERY. The M-12 stubby with a bigger battery is no longer a stubby. I like the M-18 compcat way better. Gets all my under hood work and somtimnes a breake caliper and braket bolts. Also, i did not buy a high torq to simply break bolts free. I have mastered that gun and i use it to crank on larger bolts. I use level 3 90% of the time. It has an awesome trigger control. I know just when to let off it. Somtimes i toss a large racher on the bolt just to check and its always tight and never stripped. TIP: Clean up those large bolts first with wire brushm spray with WB-40, get them hand started even if you have to tap them in a little first, once you know those threads are started and feel good, then gran that high torq and slam them home! Once you master this you will almost never need your torq wrench.
Couple of years ago I set myself up as a DIYer at home with a decent air compressor with a fair bit of top end Ingersoll-Rand air impacts......which are fantastic
but I really like the look of these cordless impacts
but just as a DIY home use I could not justify the dollars
plus I have a theory that air tools are far more robust because there’s no electronics to go wrong in time......
They look really good though my only justification could be to have a half inch charged in the boot of the car in the event of a flat tyre but in 30 years of driving I think I’ve only ever had about one flat.....
I did buy the M12 impact and drill kit on a super special with an extra free battery for around the house
those are absolutely brilliant same battery is used in the heated jacket which I also have
I would recommend Milwaukee to all DIYers
Great video Tim. Very nice review. I’m surprised that the 3/8 broke them lose. Milwaukee is definitely a step above the rest. They have it figured out. 👍👍👍
Milwaukee is a Beast 💪
Just ordered 3/8 one milwaukee. Since owning snap on and milwaukee milwaukee 100 times better and feel better
I used my 3/8 with a half inch adapter and a 36mm socket to remove an axle nut in a junkyard and it did the job. I was very surprised
This thing fits almost anywhere, literally and so powerful for its size. NO BRAINER HERE!
Great info Tim. You have definitely sold me on the Milwaukee. I'm a believer. I 👀 you working cotontop3.👍
Dang that would come in handy rotating tires in the driveway or changing a tire out on the side of a road. Great time saver
Just the good ol boys, excellent review. Lovely accent!
this guy sounds exactly like the farmer from Harold and kumar - Guantanamo bay
Great video man haha, good laughs too. im definitely buying a 3/8 impact after this lmfao
I have the 1/2 inch stubby. Its awesome plain and simple. And you can't beat the power state motor from Milwaukee.
If not on your list add the m12 3/8 ratchet. Man that is a sweet one, I always use it. It will be one that is always in your truck... thanks for the great videos look forward to the next one...
9:36 the excitment level 💯
I enjoy your channel, after watching you use Milwaukee tools I hade to get started on getting my own an get some for Christmas
I just love how impressed you are with the ability of the M12 stubbies on the truck lug nuts. I'm sitting here amazed and smiling along with you! Hahaha!
have you seen the new right angle impact wrenches? Those things are absolute beasts for situations like this
Get you a set of the stubby sockets, that’ll help with the tight spots as well
Mine wouldn't take off my half ton pickups lugnuts. But my Ryobi 300fb did. Not too impressive. But I do like it.
Need to get you a set of torque extensions for them so you don't over tighten your lugs just a idea cause I have pulled the bearings out on my mower deck using a impact on them. It's just a idea. Keep up the great videos
Same
Bolt broke off inside shaft
Milwaukee is got it going on 😂😂💪🏼😎 sure does brother
Mr Tim you are killing that lawnmower deck !! Not to mention the suction you re loosing with it being clogged up 🤔 Great review on the m12 .Got to get one .
Ron Hart in the south with the humidity and heat , i myself prefer to cut early in morning so it’s not so hot. After that mower sits a day and you fire it back off all that grass will fall off lol
Milwaukee has changed the cordless tools world
Yeah I sold my brand new dewalt 350lb and bought me a m12 stubby lol a year ago.
Try it with the Astro Pneumatic Stubby Impact sockets. They are only an inch long.
6:13... that laugh took me out 🤣🤣🤣
Milwaukee is great. Love your videos Tim. They are not all about the same thing. God bless you
Everything I own is Dewalt mainly all the flex volt Dewalt platform , but I really like the look of these Milwaukee stubby impacts its feel a little strange to like something other than Dewalt lol
Think I am going pull the trigger on one what you suggest 1/2’’ or 3/8’’ it would be used for general use at home on our acreage
Get the 1/2 and get an adapter to drop it to 3/8.
Can't lose owning a Milwaukee 💪
Tim, You are having too much fun with those Milwaukee tools. Great to see the actual operation of those tools. You can tell you are one good man with a heart. Thanks Tim and hope you and your family have a great new year.
great video Tim be safe and have a blessed day !
The 3/8 and 1/2 are both rated for 250 ft lbs. Why not just get the 1 that's slightly smaller?
1/2 has more mass which equals more torque, more inertia and more leverage
@livey oone how about years and years of people using the different drive sizes. That should be enough. It's pretty much common knowledge
That's the rating of the motor itself, I also watch, a video where a guy torqued a nut to 270ft-lbs and broke it loose with the 1/2" gun. I will try to find it for you
@livey oone fair enough. 👌
Socket sizes?
HOW MANY YEARS HAS IT BEEN SINCE YOU CLEANED THAT MOWER DECK ?
Those are good stuff you did a good job showing it
Good info, good video. Thanks Tim
I think I'm ready to buy the 3/8" stubby.
you're the best real life typical dude workin on shit to show these tools off. really shows the size and power these things pack, awesome video bro love it
Those impact wrenches are Awesome!!! I am wanting to buy one. If you could have only one, which one would you keep? The 1/2 drive or 3/8 drive impact? Please help me sir, I can't make up my mind.
They are identical other than the anvil size. Just get which drive u use the most.
@@cotontop3 Oh well thanks!
what size battery did u use when taking off the lugz? 4ah? does 2ah still powerfull enough?
What are the blades torqued on at? Mine came off my John Deere with with my brushless Ryobi impact driver using an old 1.8 ah compact battery. If I put a 3ah HP on it. It would have come off even easier.
Pretty torque cordless gun Tim , how would it do on a half shaft nut some of them are on good & tight ?
I use some of the other m12 stuff as pro wrench and absolutely love it all! Now the 3 year old in me can't get over the boat in the background. Lol
Hey Tim, thanks for sharing another awesome video. I'm definitely a huge Milwaukee fan I've been thinking about the m12 1/2 for sure it is next on the list.
Safety first!!! 😎👌👍👍👍👍
Very impressed with the tools.
Good moning tim those are some nice tool small impact works on your truck log nut is petty impressive
Nice, thanks!
Got to love the Milwaukee stubby , boom good job👍
My Milwaukee m18 1/4 impact Drive will take my lugs off my Ram. I bought the high torque 2767-20 no more air.
Hey I remember when I had more Milwaukee gear than you Tim! I am definitely going to get myself one of these after watching this video 👍👌
We use dewalt tools and grease guns which I like but after watching you use and talk about the Milwaukee stuff I now want to switch 😂 good stuff Tim
great job
Are the 1/2 and 3/8 stubby identical in size and weight? Would you recommend one over the other?
They are exact other than the anvil size. Get whichever drive size u primarily use.
Now they came out with the gen 2 3/8 stubby with 550 ft lbs
Hell my 1/4” Milwaukee impact driver takes those nuts off my mower !
What is the height on that deck… mine goes to 5 3/4 so might it fit?
Do you go fishing with that boat or just look for the ladies .......... Ha..
Mark Cornell q
Their new right angle impact should do the trick!
Very nice tools 🛠
Great job enjoyed that, Milwaukee is the real deal, I bought 3 Milwaukee inflation tools after I watch your video!!!
3/8 seems more powerful than the 1/2”
due to battery power maybe..
Get sunex low profile socket set for 40$ and it would work
Thanks for the video and your honest opinions. Also like the name of your boat at 16:29.
I do prefer the kit version, but why milwaukee did away with the hardcase is beyond me, i feel the tool and the accesories wouldn't be as better protected with the softcase, other than that, great impact tool. I plan on getting the 1/2'' stubby tool by itself, only because i've already have two 4.0AH batteries i could use from a 1/2'' M12 hammer drill kit that actuall came with a hardcase.
Now why would you need 3/8 and 1/2? Since there the same ft pounds. Which should I get? I’m thinking 1/2
Why get the bigger 1 if they are the same torque?
Mr. Flim Flam even tho they rated same torque it appears the 1/2 is a bit more powerful. My thoughts are because the beefier anvil allows the torque to travel better to the fastener.
Milwaukee need to send me those
I 👀 that VP race fuel container 💪
Look like decent tools to own. Nice review. -Glen
Which impact driver would you recommend for lug nuts on a three quarter ton pickup. 160 foot pounds recommended.
Get the mid torque and you’ll be very happy.
@@cotontop3 thanks
Appreciate the tool review.
bro
i looooove the boat name🤣
Tim I agree that's nuts 🥜 to a bunch of lug nuts 🥜
Does anyone know the fastening torque? Milwaukee only tells us the nut busting torque which seems purposefully vague
I think folks tend to over tighten things, some try to torque a 1/2” bolt like it is a 1”. I see a lot of this in summer on lawnmower spindles and quills.
You see he’s flying the right colors that right there will make him a professional hahaha 👍
I’m sure it’s a struggle for him!!
Is the 1/2” drive any bigger than the 3/8” drive?
Same tool just a different anvil size is all.
I will have to get one of those impacts.
which size drive is best, bigger the better?
They’re exactly the same other than the anvil size
Great video! I’m really impressed with the stubby performance.
