I picked up a m12 1/4 ratchet with a free battery. and then the 3/8. stubby kit I haven't even been able to use the ratchet yet because Tuesday I got sent home early from work because they were going to close the highway due to flooding.

    Your tool reviews are great because they involve actual use by someone with a lot of experience. The tool worked well in this video but it had some problems when using an extension. Special rigid extensions are available for impact tools and they might help you get the job done a little faster.

    57 thumbs down? what?? This is a meaningful, practical review, not just endlessly driving bolts in and out in areas with unrestricted access. What would have been REALLY handy for me - being selfish - would have been showing a non-compact wrench trying to reach those tight spaces as well, to get some idea of how often you'd have to resort to manual methods. Great video though, really helpful.

    Man, Awesome review for a guy like me wondering if this tool can be used to work on my car at home, specifically for doing a break job. I had concerns about the battery life being a 12v and for a home gamer it clearly has more than enough. I was really torn between this guy and the 18v version but this one was also much smaller and lighter so I was really hoping it would be a good choice and from your video it was. I really appreciate this style review because you show it in an actual real world work flow it it seems to perform admirably.

      All of the m12 "serious" tools such as the impact driver/drill or hacksaw/ impact stubby will literally drain the 2.0 battery under heavy load in a couple of extended uses.

    When do you use impact sockets? Wondering what I need to buy. Pretty safe to use chrome sockets on 3/8 stubby? Maybe have 1/2 impact sockets the mid and high torque models?

    How come you didn't use impact sockets? Won't the impact wrench ruin non-impact sockets over time?

    Awesome video. I really like the stubby impact and I recently bought the 1/2 inch m12 ratchet. Although in a way I wish that I would have bought an impact like this first I do think the m12 ratchet is the safer of tools to use and a bit more balanced. For example if you forget to set that impact on mode 4 and shoot a bolt right through a plastic sensor housing or whatever. I noticed you had the m12 ratchet on the side of the car as well. I plan to just have the whole collection and this stubby 3/8 might be next. I'm surprised at the power as well.

    You should try using impact extension and sockets. I don't know the science behind it but sometimes it will take stuff out that a chrome sockets and extensions won't.

    All my battery tools are Makita but unfortunately Makita doesn’t make this kind of small impact. I need one for engine bay work and all the 18V are too big and clumsy. This with the 2Ah battery looks compact enough for the job. Can’t wait to get my hands on one of these.
