This 1/2” ratchet was the first Milwaukee cordless tool I purchased. It convinced me to change from yellow to red. While the tool and battery combination is a but on the heavy side, if you position it correctly, that weight can easily be used in your favor. The ratchet is built like a tank and I have no doubt that it will outlast me as long as the battery lasts. My experience with the yellow brand has jaded me slightly regarding the newer generation of lithium batteries. Thus far though, the Milwaukee batteries have impressed my socks off. I charged the battery when the tool arrived. Since then, I have used the ratchet a solid 43 hours and there is still no need to recharge in sight. So far, I have used the ratchet rebuilding my riding lawnmower, servicing both of my trucks, and working on my tractor. This 1/2” ratchet has no problem punching above its weight by using a 1/2 to 3/4 drive adapter so I can use it with my 3/4 drive sockets, including some very large sizes on the tractor. One thing I think I have to add to this review is that I have never been the type to be married to a brand for all of my cordless tools. I have found that my precious money was always best spent my buying the best tool I could afford for the job at hand. If I needed a drill/driver, I bought the best one I could afford. If I needed a saw, same thing, I’d buy the best one I could afford that would meet my needs. Until now, I haven’t found one brand that I could rely on to fill every need. I now believe that Milwaukee is that brand. At least it is for me.

I have an older version of this 3/8″ ratchet (non-FUEL) as well and still use it to this very day! No issues at all! It sure saves a lot of wear and tear on my wrist which I appreciate with mild carpal tunnel! My only recommendation for future versions would be to make the head smaller for tighter spaces. Love this ratchet!

I use this at home on my own vehicles as well at work, only issue I have is the ergonomics it’s a bit bit and heavy.
Casimir Hoeger (verified owner) –
I work on semi’s and heavy equipment putting diesel engines and transmissions back together. This has been a great time saver lots of power and it is able to get into tight spots.
Jovan Bartell (verified owner) –

Maymie Kub (verified owner) –
Great tool! Lots of power.

It i use this tool to get to larger fasteners in tight spots in the heavy equipment rental industry. Only had it for a few weeks and it has not failed me yet breaking loose the nuts and bolts I have put it on. Top heavy and a bit awkward in the out of position areas. Way better than running the nut or bolt out with a manual means. But get a good grip before you pull the paddle. It will smash some fingers when all that torque comes on. Next purchase is the extended ratchet in 1/4 inch and 3/8.

Great for getting into narrow places. I enjoy that how powerful it is
Shaina Gusikowski (verified owner) –
Great tool i would be lost without it
Nicholas Bergnaum (verified owner) –
This thing really cranks. Saves my wrists from fatigue and fits into some pretty tight places. Was just what I needed to swap the exhaust, headers back, on my Dads older model truck. A great purchase.

Similar wrenches with this design usually don’t have a lot of torque. This one is an exception. It can be used to tighten bolts to their limit.
