Do you remember getting excited when grabbing hold of a stubby, back when beer came in stubby bottles? Never mind about how old you are now.
Well, this isn’t about beer, but it’s about the next best thing—stubby tools!
New from Milwaukee Tool comes its next generation M12 FUEL Stubby Impact Wrenches, which the company said delivers the most power in a lighter weight and compact tool, providing the operator with 50 percent faster application speeds.
Leveraging a POWERSTATE Brushless Motor, the Stubby delivers 0-3,000 RPM with up to 550 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque, allowing the removal of the most corroded and stubborn applications.
Per Milwaukee, the solution delivers on performance and size, at only 2.2 lbs of bare tool. Users will experience less fatigue throughout their work week while fitting into tight spaces and allowing access where larger impacts can't fit without using additional accessories or disassembling components to reach the desired fastener. It’s also equipped with tri-LED work lights to illuminate your work area without the frustration of shadows.
The Stubby also comes with 4-Mode DRIVE CONTROL for greater precision and customization to your desired power output, including AUTO SHUT-OFF that applies no more than 15 ft-lbs of torque for hand-tight applications that prevent overtightening when in forward.
In reverse, bolt removal mode will slow down the RPM once the bolt is free to prevent bolts from flying around your work area.
To change the modes, it is a single-handed operation. By shifting the forward-reverse shuttle into neutral and double-tapping the trigger, you will be able to change modes effortlessly.
Kitted with Milwaukee’s M12 REDLITHIUM High OUTPUT XC5.0 and CP2.0 Battery Pack, the Stubby delivers 25 percent more power, runs 25 percent cooler, and is chemical-resistant to protect against exposure to common oils, greases, and solvents.
The Stubby will be available to purchase as of September 2024.
