Honestly speaking my experience especially working in independent shops via dealerships I believe both is a must. As you say some applications require one or the other. So yes I will be grabbing em’ both. 👍🏾 👍🏾 Great video. Like how you don’t just verbally compare but physically also.

I think I might wait for the release of the left angle impact, everyone is getting a right angle, I want something different hahaha

[richb]

I have the stubbie and a ratchet. The right angle works better than the stubbie in a few very isolated places but I think the stubbie is the overall winner.

[donpoelman]

My feeling is each has their place, Thank You

[Gonzoe]

Both...I just got the right angle and it is a great tool for the automotive industry

[garymcmullin]

If you are a tradesman the stubby will find more utility and is far less strenuous to use. The right angle wrench has its niche for those few situations that only that design can satisfy. If you want to avoid going to hand tools it is pretty obvious you really need them both to cover all the bases. A DIY can afford to spend some time with hand tools on those tight spots where the right angle shines so for the DIY I think the stubby is the clear choice.

[bengonzalez]

I have the 3/8 stubby, I’m definitely going to pursue the 3/8 right angle. I think the 3/8 in both applications is the way to go for me.

[Solomolo]

Omg, thank you for showing different application use. A lot of talk from reviews in other youtube videos but they never show a real example when one works better.

[Diaszurana]

Generally, the stubby is more useful 90 percent of the time, but for that other 10 percent, you'll wish you had the right angle impact.

I'm getting both, but if I HAD to choose, I guess the stubby. I'd just get creative with extensions and right angle attachments.

[mowerman]

Just bought the right angle tool and love it

[jake-mvoi]

As a DIY, I'd go stubby. I have the 1/2" and it's my go-to tool. I love the light weight, wieldability, and power. If I were a pro, I'd consider adding the right angle as well.

Most cars from major manufacturers are designed to have their fasteners removable by regular hand tools and regular air impact guns. This is because they need to ensure their cars can be quickly repaired or maintained by dealers to ensure their profitability. If for some reason regular hand tools or impact tools cannot access a fastener in the first place, that component likely requires additional work to remove other parts. The Germans absolutely love to have fasteners placed in positions that are extremely hard to reach. Sometimes, even when you can access a fastener with a very specialized tool, you still have to remove another component to be able to remove that part. For me, I have the stubby 1/2 impact for 99% of the work. There may only be 1% of the work that actually needs the right angle. I would just take a low profile breaker bar for places that the stubby cannot reach. I can afford the 1/2 and 3/8 right angle impacts as well as all three of the Fuel ratchets. But the last thing I want is to have tools that I spent over $1000 on, but never have a use for.

[daved]

I think both have their own special applications for sure but am leaning towards the stubby. Thanks 😊👍

[Eddie-ycyd]

I own both. Love the milwaukee 12v tools.

[bryanfuentez]

Their all great to have because you bring versatility to the different jobs your going to come across. I don’t think it’s a matter of one over the other. They both are affordable to hAve

[driftx]

I think after watching this I would get the m12 stubby and use a m12 ratchet when it gets tight. M18 mid torque for tougher jobs and hand tools for super tight spaces.

[DanielGarcia-gqge]

I think its great you took the time to test them using real world examples of scenarios which they have their own advantages

[fivefortyeyeia]

Stubby all a day every day baby!! More powerful and less combursom.

[west]

Great Video; I really wanted to see both these tools used in various situations.
I find that most spaces are made to be accessible with a ratchet and the Right-Angle mimics this very well. The stubby seems like a great tool in the hands of a professional mechanic where time is money. I simply find the right angle to be a more linear approach👍

[mikepineda]

Fantastic review and REAL LIFE demonstration. I can read all the specifications myself; seeing the tools in action is awesome! Great video.
