This NEW Milwaukee M12 Subcompact Impact Is WAY Stronger Than Expected!

🔥 BRAND NEW Milwaukee M12 Sub-Compact Impact Wrench! Full Power Test on a 1966 Corvair Subframe Removal! 🔧🚗 In today’s video, Brian Eslick from How to Automotive takes you inside a real-world teardown using the all-new Milwaukee M12 Sub-Compact Impact Wrench — a tiny powerhouse delivering 225 ft-lbs of breakaway torque and 200 ft-lbs of tightening torque in a compact package. We put this tool to the ultimate test by removing the entire front subframe and suspension from my 1966 Chevy Corvair… and we compare it side-by-side with the legendary M12 Stubby Impact to see which one gets the job done faster, easier, and with less hassle. Whether you’re a pro mechanic, weekend DIYer, or a Milwaukee Tool fan, this comparison will show you exactly which tool deserves a spot in your toolbox. ⸻ 🔧 Tool Features Covered • 225 ft-lbs Nut-Busting Torque • 200 ft-lbs Fastening Torque • 4-Mode Drive Control • Tri-LED Lighting System for max visibility • Compact design for tight engine bays & suspension work 🚗 About the Project This teardown is part of the ongoing restoration of my 1966 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa — a rare barn-find build we’re bringing back to life.
