Hey everyone! I'm looking for some advice on the new M12 Stubby impact wrench. I recently purchased the old model just before this new version came out, and I'm trying to decide if it's worth making the switch. Is the new one really that much more powerful? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

The main factor is really whether you need the extra power. Personally, I’ve had my old M12 Stubby for a while now, and it only failed on me a couple of times when people went a bit overboard with torquing stuff. For general use, it’s held up decently. If you’re not facing extreme demands, the old one might still be good enough!
Yeah, I get that. For what I do, it hasn't been enough to break free some of my wheel studs. I have to hammer away at them, which isn’t ideal. Sometimes, I’m quicker just using a ratchet instead!
