Hey everyone! I run a car painting service and frequently need to remove parts like bumpers, fenders, and hoods from vehicles. I'm on the lookout for a compact tool that can help speed up this process, especially for getting into tight spots like under fenders where I usually deal with rusty bolts (size 8-10) and screws. I came across the M12 subcompact driver and I'm wondering if it'd be sufficient for my needs. Should I consider the fuel M12 impact driver instead, or wait for the upcoming M12 subcompact impact wrench (1/4)? What tools do you guys typically use for these types of jobs?

I used the M12 impact driver for similar tasks and found it worked like a charm. I think the M12 subcompact would be a good fit for your needs too!
If you're looking for something effective, I would recommend getting an M12 impact wrench. Alternatively, the M18 compact impact wrench with a 3/8 inch drive and a 2 amp battery is also a great option due to its small size. It really helps in tight spots!
That sounds great, but honestly, do you think that's a bit overkill for basic part removal?
Did you ever run into any situations where the driver struggled?
