Milwaukee REDEFINES the Compact IMPACT Wrench (99% PERFECT)

The Milwaukee Tool M12 FUEL Stubby 3/8" Impact Wrench (2562-20) is 99% perfect, there’s one feature that might leave you puzzled. In this video, Vince from VCG Construction takes an in-depth look at the new Milwaukee Tools M12 FUEL Stubby 3/8" Impact Wrench (2562-20). Milwaukee has redefined what compact impact wrenches can do with this powerful, versatile tool that offers up to 550 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque and 400 ft-lbs of fastening torque. Vince unboxes this new generation impact wrench, compares it to its predecessor, and puts it to the test to see if it lives up to the hype.

Vince explores the new mode selector mechanism, which requires a non traditional method to change modes. Is this a deal breaker for automotive technicians and other users, or just a minor quirk? Watch as Vince tests the tool’s performance, from tightening and loosening bolts on his Toyota Tundra to experimenting with different speeds and modes to show you exactly what this tool is capable of.

Whether you're a professional or a DIY enthusiast, you'll want to check out this review before making your decision on whether the Milwaukee M12 FUEL Stubby Impact Wrench is the right tool for you.

Inexpensive Milwaukee Tool Accessory Solves Huge Problem

The Gen 1 stubby did the same thing in the 4th setting, it's used just as you've described Vince, to run fasteners down until it recognizes resistance, this is handy for those that want to ensure no cross threading occurs.

That sockets so big it thought it was tight 😂😂

[bleyz]

It is not losing a little bit of torque, it is actually losing a lot of torque, doesn't matter if that socket sits tight on that adapter it is still losing torque. See torque test channel video on that topic, even one single adapter can be up to 30% of torque loss, not even mentioning 2 adapters stacked up on each other.

Great Job Vince. I liked that you did a demo in your shop and put it to practical use on your truck. I just picked up one today.

The 4th mode is mainly for loosening. But can be used for small fasteners as well. It will tighten to 15 ft/lbs max

[sterlingarcher]

The tightening mode seems super useful, at work I need to tighten plates in a cross/star pattern so you don't wanna tighten at 1st, you only wanna set the fastener just snug so that the plate sets in its place, and only then can you start progressively tightening in a star pattern .
I can see that being a very useful feature .

I drive demolition derby and build my cars with my Milwaukee 3/8 stubby impact and it has easily been the best tool in my collection. TBH I almost don’t even need anything else! Thanks for this review, I most definitely will be investing in one of these but not sure if I’d really need it yet. Mine has done everything I’ve needed it to do and all I’ve thrown at it. I’ve only needed my 1/2 inch high torque probably a couple of times the 3/8 stubby has always gotten the job done! Love your videos and I live just north of Philly too :)

I’ve liked watching your videos for awhile, but the quality of tests in this video doesn’t do that impact justice. Using too many adapters, too big of bolts. Hopefully you make a better updated video in the future.

I love mine and as someone who owns a 2018 Ford F150 and 2006 Harley Davison Road King who does his own mechanic work my stubby and insider ratchet with XC5.0 batteries, they’re the 2 best Milwaukee tools in my collection for the job

[markyb]

It stops like that so then you finish it off with a manual torque wrench. Good to see you back testing milwaukee tools!

Hello again, Vince and Vcg
Thank you for another Great Video 👍 Congratulations, you've made to "Hump Day".😊 Again thank you

[whatfreedom]

I have one on order currently. I have the gen1 and always felt like it was ok but there were a lot of times where it just didn’t cut it. So I’m hoping it will be enough for what I’m using it for.

[ByMiggz]

Every time you press the trigger in tightening mode, it will tighten an extra 15lbs from my understanding. Which means you can do the math in your head and tighten semi accurately

[txvet]

I think the mode changing is actually pretty cool! The sticker will last as long as my OCD will allow it to be on it…lol! Great video Vince…as always! Oh I will be adding this puppy to my arsenal!

[Iidentifyascorrect]

Vince I see you have milwaukee and dewalt but can you make some shirts for us flex fan boys ?

[brandonnelson]

Vince is a beast! Keep up the good reviews and ENERGY!!

Purchased the m18 fuel hammer drill and impact with an 8 amp battery and the m18 fuel saw . Very happy with the purchase so far . Was really wanting to choose a good brand as just buying the batteries is a big investment

[jasonlo]

Im a newbie to Milwaukee, just bought m18 fuel impact and drill combo, would you reccomend buying this over using the hammer drill with a socket extension? I plan to use these tools for repairs on my vehicles

[jmackinjersey]

I think I will like having the trigger as both the go button and the selector button. No need to add your other hand to the mix. If you are going to use the protective boot, you know the boot that is designed to protect the tool first, then the piece that you are working on as a secondary benefit, then you should simply read the directions first, use it a few tmes to get used to how it works now, and then place the boot on it.
