Most small – 4.9 in. in length.
It takes 250 ft-lbs of breakaway torque to get things off.
On the M12 system, there are more than 90 different tools. This is one of them.
In small places, 4.9 in. in length gives the best access.
An impact wrench that has a lot of power but is small is called the M12TM FUELTM 1/2-in. Stubby impact wrench. This tool is only 4.9 inches long, which makes it easier for people to work in small places. Having more torque means that even the most stubborn bolts and fasteners can be removed with an industry-leading 250 ft-lbs breakaway torque. 4-Mode drive control will give you unmatched control in a wide range of fastening applications. 1 to 3 RPM allows for precise control, and the auto-shut off mode in the fourth setting will keep bolts from getting too tight while putting things back together.
I can’t wait to get this. My favorite tool is the Milwaukee m12 3/8 ratchet. I thought this would be great to use on the trail with my Jeep to quickly remove a tire from the ground.
Guess what I thought when I put my Flip socket on it and stuck it to a lugnut in my Jeep and.. Nothing. In a lot of clicks but it couldn’t get the nut out. That said, I do tighten my nuts more than 80 lbs (basically until my impact can’t turn the bolts after three patterns) so they might be tighter than they need to be. This says it can break 250 lbs of torque. I don’t think my lug nuts can handle 250 pounds of torque.
So, we’re still in the Milwaukee camp. I had to change the exhaust downpipe on a 2006 Kia. 4 screws. The Cat flange has two on it, and the manifold has two off of it. Most of the time, these bolts are more difficult to get out. Yes, I tried with the Milwaukee, but not so goo. Nada. Hit them with my Harbor Freight impact and it had a hard time getting them off, but it did. To reinstall the bolts, I did use the Milwaukee tool. The bolts were tight enough for what I needed, so I used it to do it. There’s no need to break through old things.
I have a 5ah battery that is fully charged.
When it comes to the tool itself, it is very durable and well-balanced, as well as small enough to fit in small places. For the bigger bolts and nuts that the 3/8 isn’t strong enough for, this would be a good choice. I’m going to keep it and see if I can use different batteries to see if that helps.
