      Can it be used manually to loosen bolts if it does not have enough strength?
      ByAug 19, 2024
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      It is not recommended to use the M12 FUEL 3/8 in. Ratchet manually to break loose overly tight bolts. This tool is designed for rapid removal/fastening of nuts and bolts, not for breaking loose extremely tight ones. For that purpose, it's best to use a breaker bar to initially loosen the bolt, and then use the ratchet to finish removing it. While the tool is durable, it's not intended for the same purpose as a breaker bar and shouldn't be used to break loose very tight bolts.

            So this newer version has more torque but only 200 rpm? Really? The old brushed model (2457-20) has 250 rpm! This has got to be a misprint.

            Answer This Question

            They also offer a high speed version of the brushless but it has the same torque rating as the regular brushed version (35ft/lbs). So you can choose faster or stronger, depending on your needs.

                This kit includes two M12 3.0Ah batteries but does not include a charger. You would have to purchase a charger separately.

                Is there any torque difference between the 1/2 drive and 3/8? Or the 3/8 regular and long neck 3/8 electric ratchet
                ByJan 24, 2023
                1 Answer | 
                Answer This Question

                Yes, the 3/8 drive ratchet can go up to 55 ft/lb's of torque and the 1/2 drive ratchet can go up to 60 ft/lb's of torque. Slight difference, but still a difference nonetheless. The 3/8 drive is the most commonly purchased one.

                  This Milwaukee cordless ratchet is a solid, reliable tool that’s perfect for tight spaces and everyday mechanical work. It feels sturdy in hand, has great balance, and delivers smooth, consistent power without being overly loud. The battery charges quickly and lasts long enough to get through multiple jobs, which makes it convenient for both quick fixes and longer projects. I also like how compact it is—it easily fits where traditional ratchets struggle. Overall, it’s a great time-saver and a dependable addition to any tool kit, especially if you’re looking for efficiency without sacrificing control.

                  Good product
                  I love most everything about this tool. Great torque, and ergonomics are mostly good. Only thing I don’t love is how hard it is to operate the reverse switch, especially when wearing gloves. ZLLDesigns on Etsy has a pretty good add on solution that resolves this though.

                    Another win
                    Quality tool, like anything else I’ve owned from Milwaukee. Only completed a couple projects so far, but tool will pay for itself in time savings quickly. Battery life so far, even with the 2.5, has been amazing.

                    Overall impressed with this tool and would recomme
                    Overall a great purchase, made bolts and nuts removal go much quicker! Didn’t always have enough breaking torque but I didn’t expect it on most cases. But I was able to take of a bolt I otherwise could reach very easily with a normal ratchet.

                    Great tool, compact battery size with plenty of power and life for rapid disassembly work. The other plus is repair parts available should it need any.
