Keep your original & swap that new one out for the m18 mid torque & a forge 6.0 or 8.0 battery. That thing may be your new favorite impact. It can handle pretty much anything in the suspension & ABSOLUTELY has more jam than the new stubby.
I currently own the old stubby and his been great. I like how it is able to stop at 5 foot pounds or 10. What I use it to fix washer dryers but I also work on cars and it’s great on valve covers things like that(mechanical). I just can’t wrap my head around spending 200+ dollars, and I can’t seem to like that switch, I have large to medium hands and I think it’ll be a problem.I did get that old stubby for around one 150. Home Depot had a good sale with the four battery and the stubby so I pulled the trigger on that. Other than that good review!
If you have your broken 6.0 still and you're interested in salvaging it, if it's still operable; try buying the replacement shell off of eBay or Amazon. I've been doing this for years; using the og unbroken pieces swapped with the new 3rd party pieces. Good luck
I have a Gen 2 stubby. I was trying to change some rear shocks that was supposed to be torqued to 66ft lbs. With a 6 amp hour battery fully charged it failed to break the bolts loose. A bit of a disappointment.
M12 made tons of mistakes, the battery fit is off , the handle is huge bigger than my 24 volt tools , they are super expensive , my flex tools are almost the same size with alot more power , and the angle of the tool is very awkward

If you already have 3/8" drive, then think about getting another one (gen 1 or 2) in 1/2" drive.
Cool. I have the gen 1 3/8" drive stubby. I really like the lights and power on the gen 2, but the selector system is problematic, as you mentioned.
You get the biggest XGT impact for the same money. This is just beyond crazy. Milwaukee calm down... At this point they're just milking the hype.

I haven't posted the video yet but I never seen an impact not be able to loosen basic strut mounting bolt.
Its a big jump in power from 250 ----> 550 ?
Few times now I’ve bumped the switch getting into tight spots.. kinda annoying
To like it you got to use it on cars I love it it the best

I got no problem with the I got from Home Depot
Yeah it's not made to remove crank bolts and lug nuts consistently
What do you think you use 500ft-lbs for? 😆
Wtf $350 that better come with 3 , 5ah batteries & 2 impacts
That is fake it on the beams
🤦🏽
