Our take on the Milwaukee M12 FUEL Stubby Impact Wrench

The Milwaukee M12 FUEL Stubby is a compact 12-volt cordless impact wrench with a 1/2-inch drive and a brushless motor rated at 550 ft-lb of fastening torque. Its short body and 2.2 lb weight let it reach brake calipers, suspension bolts and engine bay fasteners where full-size 18V guns will not fit. It trades outright power for size against 18V and high-torque impact wrenches, but reviewers find it does most lug nut and automotive work without the bulk. It suits mechanics and DIYers already on the M12 battery platform who want one small, strong tool.

Questions and answers

Is the M12 Stubby strong enough for lug nuts?
Yes for most passenger cars and light trucks. It is rated at 550 ft-lb of fastening torque, which covers typical lug nut specs. Heavily torqued or rusted nuts may still need a larger wrench.
Does it come with a battery and charger?
Usually not. Most versions are sold as a bare tool, so you need an M12 battery and charger, or a kit version that includes them.
How does it compare with the M18 impact wrench?
The M12 Stubby is smaller and lighter and fits tighter spaces. The M18 tools deliver more torque and longer runtime for stubborn or heavy-duty fasteners.
What drive size does it use?
It has a 1/2-inch drive, so standard 1/2-inch impact sockets fit directly. No adapter is needed.
Can it be used for brake and suspension work?
Yes. Its short body reaches caliper bolts and many suspension fasteners. Very tight or rusted bolts may need a breaker bar or a high-torque wrench.
Does it have a light?
Yes, it has a built-in LED that lights the work area. It also has forward and reverse control.
