Is the 3/8 compact enough for lug nuts?

Yes for most passenger cars and light trucks. It is rated at 250 ft-lb, which covers typical lug nut torque, but heavily rusted or over-torqued nuts may need a breaker bar or a high-torque model.

Does it come with a battery and charger?

Many listings are bare tool only. Check the listing contents; if you are not already on the M18 platform, budget for a battery and charger.

How does it compare with the M18 high-torque impact?

The high-torque models deliver far more torque for heavy truck and rusted fasteners but are larger and heavier. The compact wins on access and weight for most auto and assembly work.

What is the difference from the brushed M18 compact impact?

The FUEL version uses a brushless motor, delivers more torque and runs more efficiently. The brushed model is a step down in power and durability.

What drive size does it use?

It has a 3/8-inch square anvil, so it takes standard 3/8-inch impact sockets. It will not accept 1/2-inch sockets without an adapter.

Does it have a bolt removal mode?

Yes, the four-mode drive control includes a bolt removal mode that loosens fasteners and then slows to avoid dropping the nut.
