Product ReviewsMilwaukee M12 2457-20 12V Li-Ion 3/8'' Cordless Ratchet - Red

Great 1/4in cordless ratchet when time & space is a issue

As all Milwaukee tools & ratchets they all serve there purpose & this is no different only down side was the 1/4in & the 3/8th inch cordless ratchets are exactly the same size about the only difference is the tiny length useing the 3/8th to 1/4in or vice versa adapter would make so its really up to the individual but you probably could get away with either one then add the would be needed adapter Read full review...

Well made tool, but surprisingly low torque

I love Milwaukee products, and this has the usual Milwaukee quality. I love the very small head design that allows it to get in places that other ratchets won't . The reason that I rated it only three star's is that I has surprisingly low torque!!, nothing close to an air ratchet. You can use it like a normal ratchet to break the bolt free, and then use the power to spin it out. However most of the time when I reach for it, there is zero space to use it like a normal ratchet. I have found myself reaching for the air ratchet almost as much as I used to. It is a great tool for very specific problem bolts, but it will not replace your air ratchet. Read full review...

A handy tool,,that gets a lot of use

Typical Milwaukee quality ,,which is good,,,I use this a lot and it saves me time, has enough power for the job...great for tight places where you cannot swing a ratchet to tighten or loosen bolts or screws..Read full review...

It has been a long time since I had a cordless ratchet

Two major complaints of the tool are the rotation direction change and the plastic housing. The change mechanism is pretty difficult to use and a pain in the butt if constantly changing directions. The plastic housing should have been metal as the plastic seems like it flexes too much or is going to crack when tightening with the tool by hand. I admit I did expect a little better from having used other Milwaukee cordless tools.Read full review...

Very nice for the price.

So far this has been amazing and well worth the money. If you already have a battery then I highly suggest this item. Mine seems to be in brand new condition and works fine. Although, I must say I have not tested it in the field yet. I will update this review once I have "actually" tested it.

It works just fine when I added the battery.

ThanksRead full review...

Great electric ratchet

I recently bought one of these and it’s great.
It gets into tight spaces with ease. It goes places that my other electric impact won’t and has plenty of power to break bolts and nuts loose. I believe it has a rating of 35 foot pounds. If I have have something tighter than that I use a standard ratchet to break it loose and then use this to spin it off in no time. I could definitely break things free with it but I always use a standard ratchet to loosen stubborn fasteners. It has saved me a lot of time removing and installing things I’ve worked on.

The battery lasts for hours and it’s probably one of the best tools I’ve ever bought and wish I’d bought one sooner.

I couldn’t be happier with it.Read full review...

Yes awesome ratchet helps a lot on my automotive projects when I’m not in the shop better than my air hose version

Works amazing and easy to work with in tight spots and well I recommend it to anyone doing stuff on cars and under the hood of cars or trucks 3/8 can be used also by powered or actual muscle use when you don’t wanna over tighten things

Great Ratchet for the price

I actually have the new 3/8" Fuel brushless ratchet and decided to buy this one as well. The new ratchet is definitely more powerful and more robust but it is also bigger and heavier. I will most likely use this ratchet for most of my work unless I am dealing with bigger bolts that require more torque loosen and tighten. Either way these are both nice ratchets and great tools. You can't go wrong either way you decide to go or you can use both like I do.Read full review...

Great tool

Best of the best tools in my opinion! If you ever are working in a tight space and have a stubborn bolt this Milwaukee tool will get it done with a whooping 35 ft lbs of torque it can spin a new born baby and then some! I personally use it to take apart plastic mold injection tools but do what you want with it i don't judge! And remember you need the m12 battery to go with this baby or it won't work. Once you put that puppy in it screams power every time you push that lever. Would recomend to a friend would use on everyday projects or to look pretty on a shelf!Read full review...
