excellent comparison, best on KZfaq! I have been on the fence, but ultimately I had to focus on what this tool is for and with me it is to maneuver and get into tight spots. That M18 battery in the way bothered me and I was glad to see that concerned addressed in this video. So there has to be a trade off and when the big torque is needed then you go to a breaker bar or a heavier impact. The stubby seems clearly to be optimum for all the smaller fastener removals, plenty of torque for those applications, light weight and small size....just the ticket and clearly this is what it was designed to deliver.

But man those compact 12v guns are really nice just for the weight savings..especially for an old fart like me.

This comparison was great albeit flawed. I love the work you put into it, but I feel as though it wasn’t a fair fight. The M12 stubby with a 6 amp hour battery would have performed just as well if not better according to torque test channel and many others. I understand the benefit of running the 2 amp hour battery to save space but the 6 amp hour battery on the M12 really doesn’t impede as much in tight spaces as the M18 5 or 6 amp hour battery. Therefore I believe the better choice of the two would still be the M12 so long as you’re OK with swapping batteries more often. Regardless it was still A great video and I appreciate the time and effort you put into it. Thanks again. Cheers!

@GainingDespair Жыл бұрын

m12 stubby is where it's at, I had a normal sized impact, wasn't exactly enough for me needs. I bought a high torque used for a great price, and sold my normal impact, came to the realization rather quickly working mostly on suspension/brakes that the high torque is very nice, but very large ... to large most of the time in fact. I got a stubby, and love it, I don't see a real need for the m18 compact, it's small, I'll give it that, but with the larger battery it really takes away what I love about the stubby. The stubby fills a legitimate need for folks, this can as well, but it has a downside. If you just had the m18 compact you could probably make most things work without issue, but coming from too large, the stubby impressed me with what it can do.

At this time I plan to get the 3/8 stubby but dont have a full set of impact rated sockets currently, what are your thoughts on using the stubby with non impact sockets on light duty work until I can buy more impact rated sockets?

@HowtoAutomotive 3 жыл бұрын

I think you’ll be fine. Because it only has up to 250 foot pounds of torque and you’re going to be using them on smaller fasteners you’re not gonna have a problem.

@@HowtoAutomotive That is basically what I was thinking. I do plan on getting 3/8 impact rated sockets when I can afford to. I already bought a decent set of 1/2 inch impact rated sockets for my new mid torque.

I've got the M12 stubby but I find myself using the snap on 14.4V the most because the rocker trigger.. even though it's longer i find it still gets into places better because the m12 stubby is too chubby.

This is a good review, having torque you can’t use is like having no torque at all.

Do you see any benefit of going with the 3/8 Stubby over the 1/2? I saw another reviewer demonstrate that the 1/2 was able to break lug nuts faster than the 3/8ths because of the slightly larger anvil inside of the 1/2 in. Would be interested in seeing your comparison of the two sizes in a real world environment.

Why do you use the 3/8 over 1/2 inch??

@HowtoAutomotive 3 жыл бұрын

The main reason is I have a lot more socket options. And if I’m using half-inch stuff I will go for the mid torque or the high torque.

How much is M18

@legros731 3 жыл бұрын

The stuby did great with the cp battery pretty sure it will have removed the subframe bolt with the xc battery The only advantage a see is the longer run ti.e for the m18

You’re probably right it might’ve done it with the XC battery

@jakedraper8872 3 жыл бұрын

The main advantage of the m18 besides more ipm I'd being able to run the high output batteries. Obviously the down side is the size. On the m12 the 6.0 turns it into a different impact, it hits!

That m18 5.0 battery is so big it defeats the purpose, a smaller 3.0 high output would’ve been more comparable. Especially if you threw a bigger 3.0 on the m12 as well. Both tools are almost the same size with the battery’s off.

Picture is very misleading. This is not the mid torque it’s the compact 3/8. No wonder I was reading the comments and a bunch of morons were saying the stubby was better. Well it’s about the same as the compact but the mid torque will blow it out of the water
