Hey everyone! I'm a plumber and pretty familiar with Milwaukee tools, but I haven't used their 3/8" or 1/2" impacts before. I'm looking to buy one mainly for working on my truck, especially to help with removing lugnuts. Which model do you think would be best for this purpose?

Just a tip: depending on what other tools and sockets you already have, the 3/8” stubby worked great for me, and I’ve had no issues so far!
If you're looking for something compact yet powerful, the 3/8” stubby is a solid choice too! I chose it and have been really satisfied with its performance.
I'd recommend the 1/2” mid-torque model. It has a lot of power and should handle lugnuts without a problem unless they are super rusted on.
I went with the 1/2” mid torque 2962. It’s incredible when paired with a 6ah battery! This size also helps when you need to work with larger sockets for axle stuff.
Go for the M12 Fuel 1/2” stubby. It’s been reliable for me, and I've been able to zip off almost every bolt I've encountered, as long as it’s not totally seized.
