I got the 3/8 stubby a few weeks ago for automotive use. Amazing tool! Just love how compact and powerful it is. I love using it so much, I'm walking around the house looking for something to fix. LOL!
I hear you. Every time I bought a new tool I always try to find something to fix and sometimes I even fix something that didn't require fixing just to use the new tool. I think I have a tool addiction. My wife always say "What! you buy another tool?" and I said "No, just a new toy".
How to Automotive I decided to pre-order one on faith, still waiting on it to show up and put it to use on a few brake jobs on two of my less-driven vehicles... Looking forward to the form factor and that 4th setting seems incredibly useful, which you really showed well. Cheers!
I should have my 3/8 stubby next Monday when the Cornwell guy comes back. I should've had it this Monday, but it just shipped that day. Cornwell had a promo going on for the new m12 stuff. 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.
Thank you for making this video, great job! As a diy'er I just ordered this for Black friday, got a great deal on it, and am really looking forward to using it under the hood. Your video answered a lot of Q's I had as to how it would do, it's limitations, and where it would work well. Thank you!
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.
paul tester glad you like the review. Thank you for tips. Not everyone is a fan of Milwaukee Tools and they think they’re hurting him by putting bad conversations and thumbs down on peoples videos. It’s the same people But do it in all kinds of reviews. I pay them no attention.
Bought this to help tear down the front and rear suspension to install some lowering springs on my car and it worked like a DREAM. I only had to use the 2Ah battery and still had 2bars left at the end of the job. Would highly recommend!
Really good job demonstrating this tools abilities, thank you. I plan on buying one soon, I just bought the M18 FUEL 1/2" High Torque impact wrench & the FUEL M12 1/2" Ratchet Wrench. I'm 54yrs old & just switched to Milwaukee Tools from DeWalt. I really like Milwaukee Tools innovativeness & thinking outside the box. I like their backpack vacuum, cordless soldering iron & cordless heat gun too I'd like for Christmas :-) Subscribed just now. Please do more videos like this.
Left Handed Archer no it dosent, I use chrome sockets with 3/8 impact stubby all the time. It makes no difference at all, some impact socket sets sit very loose on the tool. Chrome sockets fit tight and right
@@dredaypoop7944 Chrome sockets are too hard for impact use, you will be wearing out the anvil inside the tool a lot faster than if using the correct sockets. Chrome sockets have also been known to shatter under impact too, bad enough to cause injury
Isaac D that’s what I figured. I have noticed some finish damage on sockets before and that was just using the 1/4” hex impact driver with a socket attachment.
I know that engine had it in my 95 xle gold trim Camry then yrs later I had a 2000 Lexus es300. Loved that engine had 248,650 and 206,785 before I sold it this summer. Ran flawlessly
I bought this tool a while back and it’s absolutely my favourite tool in my box I had to replace it once though as the circuit board failed although I’ve never dropped it or gotten it wet. Not sure if this is a common problem. Milwaukee gave me a brand new replacement and so far so good. I’m very happy with it as it has amazing power and comfort for everyday automotive use.
I have 3/8s and I run a 6.0AH battery and i pulled the cab off a 2012 chevy duramax and did headgaskets on it from start to finish the only bolts I didn't use it on was the headbolts that I broke loose then ran the headbolts out with it amazing gun
Good video. Have you tried using the 4Ah battery? It may give you the torque needed for removing those reluctant fasteners. Some cordless tools don't produce max power when using the compact battery.
Brian, Thanks for a great informative video, i have purchased the high torque and mid torque Milwaukee's and LOVE em. They make the best quality cordless tools hands down.
Thank you for the review. Have mine on preorder. I purchased a 1/2 mid torque a month ago and love it. This will add to the arsenal. Also have a the 3/8 electric ratchet. Love Milwaukee
Nate Dowd glad you like it.In about three weeks Milwaukee tools is send me back to their new tool symposium where they unveiled all their new stuff for the new year. So I will be making a video about what’s coming out in the future make sure you subscribe for that and click the bell. Thank you so much for watching!
Enjoy your videos, very through and concise. I was able to obtain this tool due to your review, someone bought it for me after I did a brake job. I have quite a few Milwaukee tools due to your reviews, all of which have been purchased for me as gifts, due to the work I have performed on there vehicles.
Its the only tool i keep in my automotive bag. I have drowned it in trans fluid, oil, and coolant. I have dropped it and left it out in the rain. The head is a tiny bit on the big side but it makes up for it in power. Worth every cent I spent on it. ($100 for tool, $50 for 8-22mm impact socket set, $60 for 6.0 battery, charger, and bag. All picked up locally from FB marketplace)
I find that running the 3mah larger 12v batteries gives you the whack to get those bigger bolts out. The same is true for the cordless ratchets. More battery= more woopow! Good video ive yet to add this tool to my milwaukee collection but its next on the list!
@@HowtoAutomotive it’s a pretty large difference. There’s a large testing channel on RUclips that showed this impact breaking away 475ft/lb after about 10 seconds with the 6.0 battery
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. I cant speak for the larger cell battery with it but I would say it's almost a must. Personally I have a ton of m12 batteries and I don't mind swapping but out in the field again larger ah batteries
Real good vid dude. I just purchased an M12 stubby 3/8 based on yours & others recommendations. Keep up the good work. I'll use it in my channel, 316 Automotive.
Great stuff as always. However one thing that would make a big difference in some of the fastners it struggled with is using IMPACT sockets. The thickness of impact sockets does make in difference. Using chrome vs impact you are not going to get as much grunt from the tool. Love the channel just giving my two cents. Keep up the good work
Great review. I just got the m18 mid torque 1/2". This is next on the list to replace my old m18 3/8" impact. 250ftlbs is pretty amazing for this size of tool.
@@meanodustino9563 I have found it does 80% of what my 1/2" air gun will do. I like being able to work without hooking up to air. One thing I will say is it's really loud, hurts my ears.
Wow, all that on one battery. I was looking at one of these at my local tool place. I should have grabbed it. Really like the 10 ft lb tightening setting. Didn't know at the time that was there.
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?
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.
hey bud use them both and love them. The Stubby has a Veraval trigger that is very controllable. Along with the level controls. You will be happy with one. Thank you for watching!
Great job on showing the use of new m12 fuel stubby 3/8 impact in real situations. Could you do as size comparison between the current m18 compact fuel impact wrench and the new m12 stubby impact?
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.
@@HowtoAutomotive myself, im a weekend warrior. I do simple remove and replace jobs like brakes, shocks... for my cars and my kids. I could never make money doing your work because it takes me hours to do what u will in 15 mins. So any tool to help me reduce the time and make life easier is a plus
Great review imo the best really dont need this tool but man do really want one lol enjoyed watching you do all the work with the smalller battery to show the power of this tool 👍
How to Automotive Yes, Brian, have one in the mail now. Gonna use it on my Toyotas- 91 Corolla, 94 Camry, and 95 Avalon. My 98 Expedition will likely get some wrenching as well. Great information in your review!!
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.
It’s an amazing tool! I would recommend upgrading to the 2.5 amp hour High Output battery. It’s the same size as the 2.0 but with a little bit more amperage for more power.
I would have liked to see you try the 4.0 battery on the bolts you couldn't break free with the 2.0 battery. Often times the 4.0 will provide more power.

Much better video than most other videos I’ve seen, shows how versatile it is rather than just undoing wheel nuts with it. Thanks for the video
Thank you for watching!
I recommend using impact rated sockets and extensions for minimal torque loss but overall fantastic demonstration of this tool
Finally someone does something with the stubby other that take on and off lug nuts! bravo!
I try to use them how they’re made to be used.
Really appreciate you going over how to use it when putting the fastener back in. I've always wondered how to do that without over torquing them.
@@Jasonrcsd glad you like the review. Thank you for watching!

I bought one off the Cornwell truck not too long ago and I must say, I’m super impressed by this bad ass tool
Make a huge different if you use impact socket and extension
Also use XC 4.0 or XC 6.0
the new High Output even more powerful
I love the fuel impact
Me too!

Have you seen a chrome socket violently destruct? They send pieces flying everywhere, be careful.
try 3/8 impact sockets they make such a difference when taking off bolts
That impact graded extensions. Well said brotha
This makes a hughe difference. You dont lose so much torque with impact sockets and especially extensions.
So those were not impact sockets? Do you find them getting damaged? I’m tossing up wether to run it with reg sockets or get some impact rated.
tim a always use 6 point impact grade sockets with an impact
Isaac D that’s what I figured. I have noticed some finish damage on sockets before and that was just using the 1/4” hex impact driver with a socket attachment.
Mechanics are geniuses.

Ordered it. Cant wait to use it.
Nice impact and all, but that old Camry is super clean.
Stephen MacArthur it’s better now. Do you think you will pick one of the Stubby up?
Maybe using impact rated sockets, Allen's, and extensions would make a difference. There is a reason why they make them in impact rated versions.

For stubborn bolts, I wonder if a touch of tighten ahead of the loosen would help
Great video. I use impact stubby and swivel sockets, you get less torque loss than chrome sockets.

Harbor Freight impact or Tekton from amazon. Cheap and work great.
Use the 4.0 battery and it will be stronger

209chevymon you can definitely do all these jobs with out this Impact but having it sure is nice. Thank you for watching!
Exactly What I was looking for!! Great job, thanks!!
Mark West thank you. Are you going to pick one up?
How to Automotive Yes, Brian, have one in the mail now. Gonna use it on my Toyotas- 91 Corolla, 94 Camry, and 95 Avalon. My 98 Expedition will likely get some wrenching as well. Great information in your review!!
Mark West awesome you got enough cars there to keep busy. Thank you for watching?
Great video demo Brian thanks for sharing.

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.
It’s an amazing tool! I would recommend upgrading to the 2.5 amp hour High Output battery. It’s the same size as the 2.0 but with a little bit more amperage for more power.
Very good
I would have liked to see you try the 4.0 battery on the bolts you couldn't break free with the 2.0 battery. Often times the 4.0 will provide more power.
Eric White I’ll make follow videos. Featuring the long Jevity of the tool and I’ll make sure I include that.
The best review of the tool yet but should jave used the bigger battery gives you more power for full break away torque
htc one i’ll be doing more reviews on it for sure and will keep that in mind. Thank you for watching!
Very Very nice video Tanks for share
