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.

I bought this ratchet back in the begining of the year and i have used it practicaly everday. I am a full time diesel mechanic and when comparing this to the snapon equivalent it is worth it for the money. The rpms are a little bit slower than other 3/8” ratchets in its category however it does put out the torque it says it does. The head is bulky on it and sometimes you cant quite get into tight spaces with it. When that happens i just grab my extended reach ratchet. For the price of the batteries, and the ratchet itself you cant beat it. Ive dropped this thing by accident and it hasnt cracked or stopped performing as well as it has the day i got it. For all of the M12 power tools milwaukee has it makes it even more worth it. I bought the 3.0 amp hour batteries to use with my other tools and when i use it with this ratchet it will last 3 days without having to charge it. I have wrenched on it pretty tough even after it stops tightening down bolts and it still has yet to break. The only downside i believe this ratchet has is it is a little bit bulkier than others and the fact that it has a lever versus a button but thats just personal preference to me. Definitly recomend it.

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.
