Does it come with a battery and charger?

No. It is a bare tool and runs on Milwaukee M12 REDLITHIUM batteries, which are sold separately.

How much torque does it make?

Up to 250 ft-lb of breakaway torque from the POWERSTATE brushless motor.

What size sockets does it take?

It has a 1/2-inch square friction ring drive, so it uses standard 1/2-inch impact sockets.

What is Auto Shut-Off mode for?

It is one of the four drive modes and stops the tool from over-tightening fasteners during reassembly.

Is it good for lug nuts?

Yes on most passenger cars and light trucks. Heavily torqued or rusted large fasteners may need an 18V wrench.

How long is the tool?

About 4.9 inches, which is the main reason it reaches tight spaces.

What reviewers say

Owners of the M12 FUEL stubby praise its size and the torque it makes for a 12V tool, and many use it as a grab-and-go wrench for automotive work. Complaints center on it being a bare tool and on the limits of 12V power on stubborn fasteners.

What people mention

SizePraisedOwners say the short body gets into tight engine bays and wheel wells where longer wrenches will not fit.
TorqueMixedReviewers find it strong for a 12V tool on typical car fasteners but short on heavy truck or rusted bolts.
Bare toolCriticisedBuyers note it arrives without a battery or charger, so the total cost climbs for anyone not already on M12.
Socket retentionCriticisedSome owners report the friction ring holds sockets less firmly than a pin detent, so sockets can come off.
BuildPraisedOwners describe the brushless motor and housing as durable and well made for regular shop use.
