I just got the M12 Stubby 3/8 Impact. AMAZING tool.

Just found your video. I just bought a 1/2" M12 Fuel Stubby, a 3/8 Ext Reach Impact Ratchet like you reviewed, and a 3/8 M12 Fuel Right Angle Impact. I now wonder why I never got these tools sooner, holy smokes are they a life saver.

Great video and that ratchet is nice. Thanks for the video brother.

Great video 👍..i understand the tool limitations and thank you for demonstration that limitations. It is a great tool for surface and wide areas. Totally agree with you on stubby tool and that's why I bought it. In fact I left most of my tools and currently working with the stubby one

Great video! Keep it up Blake!

Awesome video! Just ordered the new new new Milwaukee M12 1/2 right angle impact ratchet!

I got the M12 3/8 fuel. Its fantastic. I want to get the extended reach one now but its $100 more. I also Have the 3/8 Stubby, it is absolutely fantastic with an impact set. I'm pulling lug nuts off of F550s that have been on for 10,000 km and covered in rust. I can pull off all 4 wheels on an F150 (6 lug) and still have 4 battery bars left (6.0Ah battery).

Been thinking about that tool for the longest

The size of the 3/8 fuel ratchet head is it's Achilles heel. That gos the same for the new 3/8 fuel extended reach ratchet. That is the reason I have been trying to get Milwaukee to make a version of the 1/4 drive fuel and now the extended reach ratchet just swapping out anvil to 3/8 drive. You would be able to get into tighter places and use sockets up to 1" and 24mm. The added rpm speed would also be a bonus and being a ratchet the small amount of loss in torque would not be much of a drawback. Please help me with this buy contacting Milwaukee and letting them know you also would like to see them come out with this slim head 3/8 fuel and extended reach ratchet.

I'll wait for a smaller head high speed extended version. The big head design was a goof by milwaukee. Thanks for the video

Which model would you recommend for basic motor and suspension work? tight areas..

I just got one of these, honestly out of the box I was a bit disappointed with how thick is is and it’s kinda heavier than I expected but I’ll keep my judgment until I’ve actually used it because I’ve not found a job I need it for yet!

@BlakesGarage

3/8 but honestly I use this extended reach for everything now if possible it’s just so good and gives you way more access.

They need to put power settings on this

Skip the mid torque since the stubby overlaps enough to make it almost obsolete except for full-time techs. Go with the high torque with one key [2863]. One key is mostly useless except to tame that beast by remapping your buttons to "don't strip the shite out of it" run down setting while keeping the maximum "rip that shite off" removal setting.

@BlakesGarage

That makes sense I could see were the high torque would definitely be a better option. Just because it’s got all the beans. But I do love the mid to work mostly because it’s a little bit later and it works really well when you’re out and about. But I think if you’re in the shop like you’re talking about I need all the extra torque you’re right just step it up to the big boy.

Milwaukee have not came up with the solution, I have a SNAP ON long neck since 2018, you should review the snap on then ull be putting the Milwaukee as paper weight 😂😂 i tried both back to back and for the price point the little bit of extra bucks of the snap on is totally worth it.

Makita 12 volt and 18 volt right angle impact drivers let you switch between three $70 heads: 1/4-inch hex right-angle, 1/4-inch hex straight, and 3/8-inch square right-angle. The heads are not quick-change; you must screw them in. Still, an interchangeable head is an amazing and little-known feature.

A nice ratchet. I'm not sure why Milwaukee only includes a 12V charger with their M12 kits, doesn't make sense the competition includes dual volt chargers on their 12V kits. Additionally their M18 kits include dual voltage chargers.
