As an automotive tech this tool is perfect & it has a whole family of tools to go with it if you happen to like stubby 3/8 gun & 1/4 driver.

This ratchet is great.Makes quick work of running out and tightening bolts.Just enough torque; and you can still use it like a regular ratchet for additional torque.So good I ended up getting the 3/8″ drive one as well. Light weight and the battery lasts a pretty good time.

This is an extremely well made ratchet with a relatively slim head for such a tool. The extended reach on this model will help a lot when working in difficult to access areas. The battery charger works fast fully charging the included battery in just 35 minutes. The trigger lock locks the paddle to prevent accidental power up and battery drainage. The torque is superb and the controllable paddle goes from real slow up to 250 RPM. The tool is weighted towards the head and the balance point is a few inches forward of the handle grip and trigger. The soft case holds each part snugly using Velcro straps and there is room to add a second battery.

The 2559-21 kit includes the ratchet, one 2.0 a/h battery, a charger, and a soft case (see photo below).The new 1/4″ ratchet offers a fuel gauge, a power on/off switch, an LED light, and a paddle power switch. It also accepts the M12 Extended Capacity battery pack (see photo). The extended capacity batteries are not included with this kit but if you’re using the tool a lot they’re something you may want to consider for longer run times. The extended reach 1/4″ ratchet weighs about the same as the Milwaukee 3/8″ M12 ratchet but, as you can see in the photo, offers a longer neck to reach into places the 3/8″ won’t go as easily. The ratchet head itself is fairly thin, yet plenty strong enough, offering up to 40 ft pounds of torque. The handle is comfortable to hold, even on very cold or very hot days.In use these ratchets have saved me a ton of time and bruised knuckles. I’ve used them on my wife’s car, my 4×4, the snowblower, the lawn mower, assembling furniture and shelving – you name it. For my purposes the cordless ratchets beat the pneumatic tools by a large margin. Since I don’t work in an auto repair garage anymore, being able to take the tool to the work is much better than having to bring the work to the compressor. Not having to trail an air hose or listen to the air compressor cycling is a bonus.I’ve found that the 1/2″ and 3/8″ ratchets are great – but that for some jobs I wanted to use 1/4″ sockets without having to add a reducing adapter. Sometimes it’s not the wrench itself that gets in the way, it’s the sockets and extensions themselves that are hard to maneuver into tight spaces. The one caveat I’d list – plan on buying at least one additional M12 battery if you aren’t already invested in the Milwaukee system. These new Lithium cells last quite some time in use, but when they run out of power they don’t slow down, they just stop working and you’re out of business until they are recharged unless you have another battery.

I really like this extended reach 1/4” ratchet by Milwaukee. The cars and trucks I repair often have difficult to reach fasteners in the engine compartment and under the dashboard. This helps a great deal!

A bit beefier but with more clearance in tight spaces, it is basically the same thing as the original.
