Why this stubby stands out

Designed to empower precise, controlled fastening in restricted spaces, this tool prioritizes balance, durability, and smart protection. The combination of a compact head, a light overall feel, and intelligent electronics helps you stay in control as you tackle stubborn fasteners and awkward layouts.

• 550 ft-lbs of torque in a 4.9 inch body for work in tight engine bays and crowded panels
• POWERSTATE Brushless Motor for efficiency and lasting performance
• REDLINK PLUS Intelligence delivers system protection and communication between tool and battery
• 4-Mode DRIVE CONTROL with Auto Shut-Off to tailor speed and torque while preventing over-fastening

Practical, real-world use cases

Ideal for automotive technicians, fleet maintenance, and professional installers, the stubby fits where a full-size impact wrench would struggle. Expect smoother operation during lug nut tasks, bolt installs in confined spaces, and rapid fastening in service bays or workshops where space is at a premium.

• Wheel work and under-hood fasteners in cramped spaces
• Routine maintenance and quick assemblies in tight workstations

What to know about the bare tool
