Good for what i use it for. Alot of mechanics use this tool also. Best thing about it is if battery runs out you can still use it as a ratchet till you change the battery.

Love this tool as a technician I use it everyday only thing I would change is that can break easily if grabbed at the bottom where the battery is located

Great addition to my tool box. The detent bearing is lacking sockets and extensions fall off easily.

I purchased this tool for my daughter to use while working on my truck after she broke it. This is not comparable to any impact out there on the market and yes you can hold a socket with your fingers while depressing the trigger. This tool was not designed for heavy use or for snugging up bolts but rather to run them in or out. It did work perfectly for my F350 torx bolts in the column. Swapped out a shift tube in record time.

Perfect for tight spots where you’re unable to manually work your ratchet.makes quick work of tight spot/low torque jobs.

This ratchet is awesome!! you can be mean with it and no issues. It has the power of a strong air ratchet without the hose or noise… definitely happy with this one.

I have “tennis elbow” that promotes a lot of discomfort down the length of my right arm (right-handed). When it was time for me to change the front two tires of my pickup truck I wanted to find a tool that was portable and lightweight, that could reduce the amount of arm movement as much as possible. I looked online at the multitude of other brands and this one seemed to be favored amongst the vast majority. I know that Milwaukee makes great tools that will only break your wallet once so I made the $200.00 investment (battery and charger not included). When unpackaged, I noticed that it had what appeared to be grease oozing out from the clutch housing. Once charged up I immediately put it to work. I wouldn’t use it for breaking lugs but it definitely saved me a lot of time and strain in my arm loosening them. So far I have used it on a truck, car, SUV, and a boat. As far as longevity goes it’s too soon to know. Highly recommended.

Well made tool and a must have

Works great.Have the other half of the set just needed a driver for tighter spaces.

So I got the M12 FUEL 3/8 ratchet and it works pretty well, has good power and does a good overall job, but its way to heavy to use all day. My drill driver weighs less than this thing. That really is the only negative about it. I was going to get the extended one and glad I didn’t because that’s even heavier. So its okay for using it on something specific, but not so good for trying to use all day long. They need to redesign this with more aluminum. I would recommend the non-FUEL version of the Milwaukee ratchet.
