Default Milwaukee M12 cordless ratchet

Finally decided to purchase my first powered (battery) ratchet a few weeks ago. And I'm here to tell you, I wish I had done it long ago. One of the best tool investments I've ever made. If you're on the fence about getting one, trust me when I say it's worth it!

I use mine all the time. It's my #1 M12 tool to use. It makes doing valve springs a breeze.

I buy nothing but Milwaukee power tools as their warranty and customer service is second to none! A five year "no question" warranty. Just bought their 18 volt Fuel 1/2" impact wrench/gun with over 700 foot pounds of torque!

Agreed.

Bought the electric ratchet a few weeks ago and by far the best tool I've ever bought

Thumbs up

Milwaukee power tools rock as others have said, air tools get very lil use around my house, I have their 1/2" hi torq impact and it rocks too as well as the original subject tool and a host of other stuff they sell. This pic is outdated, I have more of their stuff now

I have 2 more to buy. The M18 3/8" ratchet and Sawzall

I have the 1/2" gun, M18 3/8" gun, M18 drill, M18 driver, M12 1/4" ratchet (great for LS intakes and such), M12 drill, M12 Driver.

I have an actual tool store here. The owner used to run a Cornwell truck. Now she keeps a store vs a truck. She has EVERYTHING!!! or can get it in a day or so.

I buy tool only because I have enough batteries and chargers. She has a big section of nothing but Milwaukee. I just walk in, grab what tool I want from the box and she just orders in the tool to replace it in the kit.

Went through my motor a few weeks ago, made it MUCH easier. Even used it to torque down my rod bolts, and head bolts.

My sons M18 Fuel 1/2" Impact has out powered every Airgun, including the other tech's high dollar ones, in power.
The only real loss is the rotation speed. Where as an airgun will spin twice as fast once the bolt/nut is loose. But doesn't have the power of the Fuel.

Be sure you have the 4.0 or 5.0 battery for best results. Oh and don't try to bust loose anything tight with a Chrome socket (any brand). It will snap the socket.
