Milwaukee M12 Fuel Stubby Impact Wrench and Battery Test with 2.0 4.0 6.0

- Опубликовано: 29 окт 2018
- In this video we are taking a look at the Milwaukee M12 Fuel Stubby 3/8 Impact Wrench 2554-20. The 3/8 and 1/2 M12 stubby impact wrenches ( 2555-20 and 2555P-22 ) share the same 250 ft-lbs specs with different anvils. This Milwaukee stubby impact has impressive power for its small size. We also test it with the Redlithium 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 batteries to see if there is a difference in power.
There is also a 1/4 version of this impact wrench but it only has 100 ft-lbs of torque

![Milwaukee M12 FUEL Stubby 2554 Review vs Snap-On CT9010 [12V vs 18V]](/img/1.gif)
After a closer look, it looks like I accidentally went to the same wheel bolt with the 2.0 and 4.0 battery. I went out and tried it again on freshly torqued wheel bolts and can confirm that the 4.0 and 6.0 battery seem to be equal at this task. The Milwaukee Stubby Impact is an excellent tool for both pros and DIY bit.ly/2SujJsg
You must admit your reaction at 6Ah is kind of funny - you tried your best not to compromise it against 4Ah pack ;-)
Power(voltage) will be the same across all M12 batteries. Length of use will increase with the larger storage (amp hour) batteries.
Erin McClure yeah amp hours is complicated. It’s almost defined as amount of battery storage because it almost is. With a larger battery, the battery can safely put out more amperage without damaging the battery which will result in better performance of the drill. It will also have more battery for longer use but it’s not as simple as x2 battery when comparing the 2ah with the 4ah
Might as well pull the video and redo it lol
There should be no different at all in term of torque between 2.0 vs 4.0 vs 6.0 except bigger capacity such as bigger gas tank
U did the same lug nut with the 2.0 and 4.0 without torqueing down to 90 ft lbs in between
I noticed that right after I uploaded the video and left a reply to my pinned comment. I've edited the comment to show as part of the main one.
I have the 3/8 and 1/2 versions. Both have been great so far. I'm using both with 6.0 batts
Thanks for the review! I am gonna to buy one of these! Greetings from the Netherlands!
Good review!
Just bought the stubby I love it
It really is a great tool
Got the 1/2 inch stubby but I bought a 1/2 to 3/8 adapter from harbor freight my main sockets are 1/2 but some are 3/8 great review
I'm gonna do the same that sounds like a great idea
Lol, on the 4.0, you took off the same lug that you just put on using the 2.0 in run down mode - the lug only had 10ft lbs on it.
Do you recommend the 4ah or 5 high output
Was the mid torque inmpact 3/8 anvil or 1/2?
It was the 2860-20 1/2 inch model
I can say without even watching the video that the 6 amp battery is going to win.
I’m just in my first week of using this tool and noticing randomly all 4 battery indicator lights will flash... I’m wondering what this means and why
Over power protection
I just got this 1/2”... mins came with the tiny battery and it has trouble taking off my lug nuts (100lbs)... what battery do I need?
4.0 XC
I'm thinking about getting two of the stubby impacts which two should I I do like the 3/8 though. I also have the mid torque, I'm wondering how much I would use the quarter inch if I had the 3/8?
That's why I went with the 3/8. I already had the mid torque and can use a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter if I need to go larger. 3/8 sockets go down low enough in sizes that I don't think you would need a 1/4 on its own. If you had to have 2 I would say 3/8 and 1/2. I'm happy with just the 3/8 in addition to my M18 mid torque
The 3/8 and 1/2 stubby has up to 250 ft/lb the 1/4 is the same as the 1/4 hex driver impact at 100ft/lb
ToolZine that mid torque would liven up a lot of you use a HD 9.0 or 12.0 or even the newest HO 6.0/8.0 they truly do allow more power from the tools.
@@jamesfair9751 That's why I am wondering why not just go with 2553 and put on a 1/4 socket adaptor. The 1/4 is kind of pointless.
alan mail not completely pointless as the anvil will be stronger than using an adaptor as well as you May loose a little power with the adaptor. I personally don’t see a real use for the 1/4 impact wrench because as you mention I do use the driver with adaptor if I’m taking out any bolts that small. I haven’t had the issues I stated just making you aware of the possibility of issues.
So if the 3/8 and 1/2" stubby have the same output i'm assuming they also use the same motor then correct? My question is should i still buy the 3/8" impact stubby or just buy a reducer from 1/2 to 3/8? (Just got my 1/2" stubby yesterday in the mail and was considering picking up the 3/8" also)
They are exactly the same except for the anvil. I would just go for the reducer as 1/2" sockets can cover most of the 3/8" range
Any adapter or extension you put between the tool in the socket you will definitely lose power.The more pieces you put the more you lose
With the 2.0 ah battery you hit the trigger 3 times when the others you held it down as you should. Pretty sure other than hitting the same light with the 4.0 they all would've produced the same results.
The batteries have an amp/hour rating, the rating tells you how much electrical output the battery can produce over a period of time, they're all 12V batteries however, voltage is the "force" behind the output, there's no need to test for torque variance between the batteries they're all the same, 12 volts will produce whatever the gun will allow.
That is in theory, because I have the 3/8 and with the 2 amp it cannot remove a bolt ,then I switched to the 4 amp xc and ended remove it.
1,5/2/3Ah batteries are 3s1p packs, XC 3/4/6Ah are 3s2p. It means they have two parallel connected cells, so more power (more amps) can be drained.
Try sawzall or new cut-out tool with 2Ah and XC 6Ah pack. You will fell the difference.
In M18 world- compare 16Amp drain on vaccum cleaner or grinder with 2Ah and 9Ah.
@@tomasekpl that would explain it. There is definitely a difference between the 2.0 and the bigger ones
Under load the voltages of smaller batteries droop more.
theoretical you correct but under load the voltage drop in the bigger battery is less than the smaller one . let say the 6ah will drop to 10v while the 2ah drop to 9 or less
I got the 3/8 with the 2.0 Battery. It is pathetically underpowered with that battery. This impact may be stubby its so wide. I have a 1/2 Impact brushless from Maximum Canadian tire, makes 220ft-lbs. The head is a lot smaller and it runs a 20v battery. It so much more powerful than this one its not even a contest. I'm going to try the 6.0 battery as I really want a 3/8 gun but so far most have been garbage IMO.
Milwaukee also makes a M18 fuel Mid torque impact that does 450 Ft lbs of fastening torque and 600 ft lbs break away torque. I have the 1/2" pin detent version of the mid torque and its pretty solid. Id imagine the 3/8" version would perform about the same. Ingersol Rand also has a 20V Mid torque brushless 3/8" impact wrench. How did it work with the 6.0 AHr batt by the way?
2 years late but I’m also curious if the 6.0 made the difference
@@billybobaggins8820 it did. Buttttt I had issues with the impact vibrating the battery loose. My foreman had the same issue. I bought the 3.0ah and it didn't do it at first, but after 6 months it started to vibrate loose as well. My foreman had the same issues. I sold my Milwaukee M12 and bought Snap-On. The impact is less power, but because it's so thin I find it more useful. The ratchet puts out 70ft+lbs vs Milwaukee's 55ft-lbs, and it's significantly thinner.
@@xXBurntBaconXx I bought a 6.0 on eBay seconds before you commented. I find my 3/8 with 4.0 very anemic I finally got a brake caliper bracket bolt loose with it yesterday and I was very happy haha. I will see if I like it more in a couple days.
@@billybobaggins8820 you liking it more? I’m debating whether or not to buy it.
With the stubby I think you left it on auto and not on no.3 mode
Failed same lug nut...no retorque
you used the same lug for the 2.0 and 4.0 lol
Doesn't prove anything. What I want to see, is the tool removing lug nuts from a 1991 F-150 that has been sitting in a field for twenty years. Or a junkyard Honda Civic crank bolt. Your garage kept BMW that has "freshly torqued" lug bolts would be easy for even a weaksauce Harbor Freight Bauer brand impact.
I use this impact for removing lugnuts everyday at my job, it does great at doing that, if your buying a tool specifically for removing lugnuts 98 percent of cars have properly torqued wheels
This is not a test. Use a different lug. In this video you use the 2.0 amp to break the lug and lightly tighten back up. Then use a 4.0 on the same exactly lug you just tighten with the 2.0 WTF. EPIC fail!!!
You can’t remove lug nuts put on by a air gun.
