Milwaukee 2457-21 3/8-in Cordless M12 Lithium-Ion Ratchet Kit (Ratchet Kit w/Tool Bag)

Not a Milwaukee fan at all, but my beloved Makita ratchet seems to be the weakest link in my Makita line up. This was the highest rated ratchet I could find and Amazon had the best price for tool, battery, and charger. It even came with a tool bag. It hasn’t had an easy life its first month in the shop, but it’s holding up. Not a lot of leverage given the size, but it fits in some tight places. Battery lasts me a day and seems to charge fast. 3/8 to 1/4 inch adapter gets more use than I thought it would. It’s not super torquey which is ok since I often use inch pounds to torque fasteners after running them down with the Milwaukee. Don’t expect to break loose fasteners on its own power. You’ll need to break them free by hand then pull the trigger. Don’t use the battery to grip, the side LEDs apparently don’t like that. Hold it just above the battery. Larger bolts like on brakes may be too much for it. You can help it along though and still be faster than a regular ratchet by hand. It’s light compared to my Makita, but that’s a 18 volt tool compared to the Milwaukee’s 12. I worry about the warranty. Most of team reds tools aren’t exactly repairable like Makita. I’ve had warranty repairs back in a week for Makita. Given the price, if I get 6 months out of it I won’t cry. Happy with it thus far. For a 12 volt tool, it has been great. Highly recommend.

Got here ontime and for what I needed it for works perfectly

Great product. Exactly as described and easy to use.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Price

Works great for hard to reach places. It's just to snug up, dont try to tighten up with this, it will snap after a while. It works great when used properly.

This thing is a huge lifesaver.Pros:1. Fairly narrow head, so it fits pretty well in small spaces. Not amazing, but generally pretty good.2. Great battery life.3. For those places where you don't have a lot of space to rachet, it's about a million times faster4. Light is a nice perk.5. Generally makings working on my car a pleasureCons:1. Low torque. You'll absolutely have to loosen many fasteners by hand, but you can finish the job with this tool. Not a huge deal. In many instances, I'm happy this has low torque, since I need to finish things off with a torque wrench, or I'm working with some fastener that has a low torque spec.2. I feel like the head could be more narrow.3. Having the "reverse" be on the head is sort of inconvenient. It'd be a lot better if I could change the direction on the stalk with my thumb or something.All in all, absolutely a great tool. I love it and I'll never do without a cordless ratchet tool again.

This is a lower torque version, I expected more but did not read the torque spec. Great tool though.

This is a fantastic tool! All of Milwaukee products are second to not very durable. Easy to use the price is great and the quality and durability are what I go for.
