MilwaukeeElectric Tools 2558-20 Fuel Ratchet M12 Fuel 1/2" Ratchet (Tool Only)

This tool has become a go-to in my tool chest. It is not an everyday or every situation type tool, though. There are plenty of applications where I will reach for my compact impact driver over this just for speed. That said, if you need control and/or finesse with tightening a fastener and don’t want to spend minutes using a hand cranked ratchet, this thing will save you loads of time. Big picture, I like this so much that I bought all three sizes and a packout case to hold them.Pros: very durable and impact resistant. Came with a 2.0 ah battery but bought a couple 3.0 ah batteries that are the same size. Battery life has been fantastic, and control is awesome with the variable speed trigger. It has more torque than I expected or need (THIS IS NOT A TORQUE WRENCH THOUGH). It will do on the order of 60 ft lbs consistently (But remember, if you need a torque wrench, buy a torque wrench...this is a ratchet). The depth of the head is pretty shallow considering the size and heft of the tool.Cons: She’s heavy. If you’re laying on your back, under a car and holding this over your head, definitely move your face out of the drop zone. The throat and body are bigger than some of the comparable air tools I have and the throat is made bigger if you wrap it in the rubber protector. Not a game changer, but definitely something to consider. It’s also fairly loud for an electric tool. It’s quieter than any air tool I have but it’s still louder than my impact driver. You won’t need hearing protection but I definitely wouldn’t use this in my driveway at 9pm.Bottom Line: it’s a really great tool and prefect for all those hard to reach, knuckle-busting nooks and crannies in your car, truck, boat, trailer, or airplane. I liked it so much I bough all 3 sizes. But if you want unadulterated speed, don’t get rid of your impact driver with socket attachment.

This Milwaukee half inch ratchet works great. Little heavy the ratcheting head is a bit large. Feels good in the hand.

Great tool. Well built, durable, easy to use, fast, has great torque. Good battery life, fits accessaries well and is durable

I have been a fan of the M12 series of tools since they first appeared. I believe that they offer the best combination of price, size, and, utility of any tool series, even including the M18. This M12 fuel ratchet is a useful member of the family with a lot of torque for its small size equal to 60 ft-lb. It has enough torque to wring the head off a 5/16 in bolt if you are not paying attention. I like that its compact size allows using it in close in areas such as within a tight engine compartment without room to turn a standard socket to remove stubborn bolts. The impact effect also helps with the loosening of frozen bolts.

I ordered and initially received what appeared to be a used tool (very dirty out of the box). Returned and received replacement very quickly. Overall, very pleased with the tool that's being used to restore an old truck, though I'm not sure it actually has the power advertised.

Auto repair, I like milwaukee tools

I've been utilizing this set for several months now, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations. The tools within it are robust and exhibit a tangible sense of durability. The confidence I feel while using them is unmatched, knowing that they can handle even the toughest of tasks. Additionally, the efficiency they provide is unparalleled; the time saved compared to manually tightening bolts with a ratchet is significant. Overall, this set has become an indispensable asset in my toolkit, making my work more manageable and enjoyable.

One of my favorite tools, should have bought one long time ago. I reach for this rachet every single time. Save a lot of time without pulling out the air hose for the air rachet. Torque is very good on a fully charged battery.
