All the Beans! NEW STUBBY M12 Milwaukee Tools 3/8 impact wrench 2562-20 Brake Flush

[@HAPPYFUNTIMEx2]

M12 extended ratchet, new m12 stubby and a metric set of impact sockets stay in my ride. The ratchet and the stubby are my favorite tools I own.

[@MD-zb9ev]

Dude didn't even bother charging all the batteries before filming. lol

[@jasonh807]

Nice ! I ordered the new stubby in 1/2 planning to use an adapter for 3/8 just Incase, 550 ft/lb is crazy I just got Milwaukees new mid torque and it’s a beast, can’t wait for this new stubby to arrive !

[@BlakesGarage]

Yeah, I did that for a while but actually found it most of the time. I was just using 3/8 and not 1/2. You’ll love it tho 👍🏻👍🏻

[@jamdc2000]

what a red beauty... the red tool too.

[@BlakesGarage]

Haha thanks!! Car is Sakhir orange 🍊 but definitely has really red tone in certain light 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Zenvo_ZTR]

U can only get 550 with a M12 5.0 HO battery. Torque reduces when u don't use it

[@JV-wl6ex]

Exactly, he needs that HO 5.0 just to take advantage of the tools peak torque numbers

[@johnny4713ify]

I'm actually getting the 1/2 version for now mainly because I'm in the opposite boat. My old 3/8 Stubby is my workhorse, but the heavier mass of 1/2 sockets does make a difference on larger fasteners, especially while using an extension. Yes, I can use a 3/8 to 1/2 inch adapter, but a dedicated 1/2 Stubby is the way to go. I was going to get the DeWalt DCF921 for that reason, but not anymore. I'll eventually pick up a Gen 3 3/8 with the extra beans though. 👍🏻 Thanks for the review.

[@BlakesGarage]

Yeah, it’s funny. I got the three eights mid torque and I have to say that one started becoming my work horse for sure. Most of my half-inch stuff I really don’t pull out until I’m using high torque. That’s just because I need all the beans when something doesn’t come off with a small ones.

[@johnny4713ify]

@@BlakesGarage LOL, I'm the opposite of you. I have both the Gen 1 and Gen 2 1/2 Midtorque, plus the High Torque. I pretty much only use them for tire rotations or on rare fasteners that my 3/8 stubby can't remove. Since you now have a bad mama jama Gen 2 3/8, you might not have the same need. I'm the neighborhood shade tree KZbin-certified mechanic, so I'm always wrenching on all types of vehicles. Having the option to use the 1/2 stubby with midtorque power in tight spaces that require a swivel socket, which my 3/8 can't remove, is going to be awesome! BTW, those brake bleeders 🔧 are pretty dope 👍🏻.

[@BlakesGarage]

@@johnny4713ify yeah, if you’re ever doing brakes this makes the job easy and 100% accurate making sure there’s no air in the lines. Goes from making a brake job a PITA to easy 👍🏻👍🏻

[@rayc5916]

The 3/8th made more torque than the 1/2 one. There’s no reason to get the 1/2

[@johnny4713ify]

@@rayc5916 Do you have a 3/8" stubby? It's great for most jobs with regular 3/8" impact sockets, but there are times when it's not enough, especially when you're using wobble sockets or extensions. In those situations, I have to pull out my mid-torque impact wrench to break the fasteners loose. That's why I'm getting the 1/2" version. I already know that when using those types of adapters in limited space, the extra torque and weight will make a difference in breaking fasteners free. Yes, I could add a 3/8" to 1/2" adapter, but even then, there are situations where that setup won’t work. If I had a regular 1/2" stubby, it would fit just fine. Since I already have the Gen 1 3/8", I'm planning to pick up the Gen 2 1/2" first, and then later I'll get the Gen 2 3/8". I work on multiple vehicles daily, so having both will work for me.

[@jdesaavedra0432]

I like this little beast. The only compromise they made to fit the bigger motor was losing the mode change buttons. I do change modes for delicate fasteners. I can live with the mode change for the bonus of turning lug nuts with a 3/8. Yeah, it's a battery burner but who uses full beans with the little battery?

[@THEBEARDEDTOOLGUY]

The 3/8 ACTUALLY has more TQ have seen the SHOP TOOLS REVIEWS he did the Normal test that he does hopefully TTC GETS it by end of August I have mine on Order Since PIPE LINE how you get your's so EARLY

[@BlakesGarage]

@@THEBEARDEDTOOLGUY Milwaukee sends me product samples time to time, so I get some of the stuff before the release date to make content with and review. Definitely one of the percs of making content for over 10 years on KZbin is doing product reviews.

[@Brandon-yq1tm]

That was for the old model, no signs of that being true for this model. And even if that is true for the new ones released a 1/2 socket will usually be able to transfer it better and have less chance of stuff breaking.

[@yoshi2tvmes]

Is the 3/8 gonna be good for taking rims off at 140 ft pounds 75% of the time or should i just go 1/2? Other 25% will be brakes and other small maintenance.

[@vader540is]

Please send it to TTC

[@davidschlarp1606]

Then we can see how close it gets to that 550

[@cobuck4007]

TTC won’t review a tool unless it can be bought it in a store. I’m surprised Blake compared the old and new stubbys here at all. And when he did the old one seemed to win.

[@SpicyRoll-m4r]

1/2 in better for this tool because of the rated power..

[@BlakesGarage]

@@SpicyRoll-m4r I’ve actually seen tests between the two and surprisingly the 3/8 actually ended up breaking more nuts loose than the 1/2.

[@SpicyRoll-m4r]

@@BlakesGarage that maybe right but for this power you have more option on half inch sockets 3/8s are on the smaller side avoiding over torque.

[@HAPPYFUNTIMEx2]

@@SpicyRoll-m4r I dont think he got this to work on industrial equipment. 3/8 is enough for automotive use.

[@JimmehFG2]

Can the sockets you used on the 3/8 impact possibly scratch the wheels?

[@BlakesGarage]

Yeah there’s a possibility I guess. I have the coated 1/2 wheel sockets to prevent that but I’m not too worried about it on my car.

[@JimmehFG2]

@@BlakesGarage hey man thanks for replying, yea I’m suppose to get my 3/8 impact this Friday. I don’t see the coated wheel sockets in 3/8 drive unfortunately. I guess I’ll have to go with a 3/8-> 1/2 adapter.

[@HabaneroTi]

Nothing wrong with using an impact wrench on 6mm bolts (although it does seem kind of silly), so long as you're removing and not installing them. Even with the auto-off tighten mode you could snap those bolts. If you work with a lot of these tiny bolts you should use an impact driver with nut driver bits, on the lowest setting, or an electric screwdriver at low torque if it's settable. Even an electric ratchet could snap those little guys. But anyone thinking of getting this tool isn't messing much with 6mm bolts, of course. Btw my nearly 3 year old 3/8" M12 stubby is showing its age and appears to have lost some upper range torque. If I take it in for a warranty check are they offering to upgrade to Gen2 for a certain fee?

[@BlakesGarage]

I have not heard of them upgrading to Gen 2 but I guess it couldn't hurt to ask!

[@norcal8607]

I need!!!

[@trapiiin_8243]

What torq wrench do you use?

[@sab35263]

Why did you ditch the 1/2” for the 3/8”?

[@BlakesGarage]

I use 1/2 inch more often on a stubby as I usually want to get it in somewhere small. If I need more torque or a bigger socket like 1/2 I will most likely step up to a Mid torque or high torque.

[@itsmistersmoke]

Well done... 3 in 1 video. Also Chinga 😂

[@kabronsisimo6669]

Socket set part#

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

Big fan of Milwaukee 12v - I use their tools professionally, but that mode selector is such a poor means of changing power modes.

[@BlakesGarage]

I kind of agree, but also, how many times do you actually change the mode? Cuz I pretty much always keep my impacts in the highest setting.

[@amadneon1236]

Watched just for that f82 (that impact kinda nice too)

[@THEBEARDEDTOOLGUY]

It should have more POWER on SPEED 2 then the old GEN 1 has on speed 3

[@BlakesGarage]

Huh 🤔 I’ll need to try that with some charged batteries. 🔋

Muốn trải nghiệm mà kinh tế yếu .thì làm sao có được .hãy giúp tôi

[@crunkwun]

Ive seen them test the 3/8 vs the 1/2 and the 3/8 beat it all the time in all categories..

[@johnny4713ify]

@@crunkwun I've been using my 3/8 stubby for years now and have experimented with different socket arrangements and adapters. The 3/8 just gets a little extra boost when you add mass/weight by using a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter on fasteners. You'll quickly notice the power loss when using 3/8 swivel sockets or extensions. For that reason, having a dedicated 1/2 stubby for when you need the most power and have no room for adapters is why I'm picking up the 1/2 version this time around.

[@tax905972]

M18,IS,STRONGER

[@mrvang8077]

Ehhh...pass. The M18 2855-20 stubby would've been the better choice. I just don't see how that little battery will hold up.

[@BlakesGarage]

The 2855-20 is very good! However the size of the 12 Stubby is what really takes the cake. But if you only like M18 then yeah the 2855-20 is a great substitute.

[@CJBMAGGOT94]

HO 2.5 battery is not new.

You’re right it’s been out for about a year. But this is the second one I’ve got and I honestly may not have noticed on the last one.
