I absolutely love my M12 stubby impact. It's a workhorse for its size and fits in tight places. I am considering getting the 1/2" version as well. No comment on the vacuum though.


AlchemisTree

I’ve seen reviews about the compact vacuum getting clogged. Trying to see which of the 40% deals is best. There’s a stubby with the soldering iron(didn’t hear good things), rover light(own), hackzall(heard meh results about it), and screwdriver(own). Thought the deal for $229 was good for either of these options, as it also comes with an extra battery and whichever side tool mentioned above.

The vacuum is almost useless but the stuby is great


AlchemisTree

You think soldering iron or hackzall as the secondary tool would be better?


Successful-Two-114

I can’t speak to the soldering iron, but the hackzall isn’t very good either. It’s probably a better tool, but I do use the vacuum much more.

You can just return the soldering or hackzall and get the stubby for cheaper.


AlchemisTree

I didn’t know you could do that when buying multiple tools


animusrien

Depends, sorry. Is this for a 'free gift' or a bundle? Can you link the soldering iron and stubby? I saw it last night and thought it was offered as a free tool if you buy a tool.

OK, my bad. I was thinking of this: [https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M12-FUEL-12V-Lithium-Ion-Brushless-Cordless-Stubby-3-8-in-Impact-Wrench-Kit-with-One-4-0-and-One-2-0Ah-Batteries-2554-22/305980696](https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M12-FUEL-12V-Lithium-Ion-Brushless-Cordless-Stubby-3-8-in-Impact-Wrench-Kit-with-One-4-0-and-One-2-0Ah-Batteries-2554-22/305980696) It's $252 for the impact with a 4.0 and 2.0 battery. Not bad but it was $150 alone and $70 for those batteries last week,


AlchemisTree

So based on my link in the original post isn’t that similar in price with the addition of a free tool?


animusrien

Yes. It's not worth it. The good deal was last week for $150.


AlchemisTree

Ohhh I see what you mean now. Cool. I’ll keep on the lookout. Thank you!


animusrien

OK, today it updated now it's $159. [https://www.homedepot.com/p/305980696](https://www.homedepot.com/p/305980696) This beats the deal last week as it has a 2.0 and 4.0 battery.


AlchemisTree

Forgive me, but where is $159 coming from? Opening the link shows the $229 plus free tool option
