Milwaukee Providing Solutions

In the last decade, Milwaukee Tool has prided itself on being a solutions provider. They first went after the MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) segments but have since branched out into many other trades. This is especially true in the M12 line. They’re looking for ways to make our jobs faster, easier, and more efficient.

Milwaukee Stubby Impact Wrench Is A Solution

The Milwaukee stubby impact wrenches are a solution by allowing access to areas impact wrenches have had difficulty reaching in the past. In construction and vehicle repair, this happens all the time. There are fasteners that are hard to reach. When the fasteners were first installed, everything was shiny and new. When things get old and rusted, that’s when the problems start. Having 250 ft-lbs of nut busting torque in hard to reach places is a welcome addition. Available starting in September 2018.

Impact wrenches of all sizes and strengths

With the new Milwaukee stubby impact wrenches, there is now a whole line of cordless wrenches from 1″ M18 Fuel beasts all the way down to these small M12s and everything in between. Not shown in the graphic below is the new 1″ we saw at NPS.

Where To Buy

The Milwaukee Stubby Impacts can be found at Acme Tools. They carry all the sizes in both bare tool and 2 battery kits. They are quick and reasonable with shipping too.
