TESTED MODELS and thoughts
_Milwaukee 2560-20 M12 FUEL 3/8" Extended Ratchet_
It's a brute but it is painful to watch it slowly spin off fasteners. The one in the video is my second one as the first one let out it's magic smoke and had to be replaced. It will bust off bolts that the others can't even think about. You are still left using it as a manual ratchet all the time, just like the others to break fasteners free. However the extra length makes it have more leverage than others so it's easier. The Milwaukee did seam to consume more battery life than the others(all had 2.0ah). It is very heavy and though cordless the weight makes me feel like I'm dragging around a pneumatic with a hose all the time. I do like it and would not have as many nit picks if I had never tried the others.
_Makita RW01R1 12V max CXT 1/4" and 3/8" Ratchet_
WOW is all I can say. This thing is a joy to use and makes removing bolts a breeze. The SPEED is astonishing and is as close as you can get to an impact's speed. If this thing had 2 speeds so you could gear/slow it down to remove those harder fasteners without hand movement it would be perfect. I was worried about the battery consumption as this is a brushed tool, however it used the least amount of battery between the Husky(brushed) and Milwaukee Fuel(brushless) by over 20%. My favorite feature has to be the thumb direction change. However, if you're lazy about moving it and don't fully engage it, it can
_Husky 3/8" Compact Ratchet_
This is a champ and will not disappoint. I actually had this and the non Fuel Milwaukee m12 ratchet at the same time and this was better. Apex tools(makes Gearwrench) made this for Husky and I'm impressed. DO NOT worry about non replaceable batteries. This will do a few under the hood jobs without needing to be charged. However you can put it back on the charger at any time(lunch break) and it will be full ready to go when you get back. When the batteries(Top of the line SAMSUNG cells inside) fail in 5-10years, you can simply take off the side cover and solder in 3 new 18650 cells($15). The enclosed batteries with a complete handle rubber over-mold feel great in a bare or gloved hand.
_Harbor Freight Earthquake XT 3/8 ratchet_
This thing is HEAVY and not a joy to use at all. It crawls and is just painful to wait for it to spin a bolt out. It feels like you're better off just spinning them out with your fingers most of the time. I took this one back after a few weeks and got my money back. Just buy the Husky or spend a tiny bit more to get the Makita. You won't be disappointed. YOU CAN'T trust the reviews as Harbor Freight openly states they remove any reviews at will(aka bad reviews).
_Snap-on_
I did use this one and it is very nice like you would expect from Snap-on. It is built to run all day everyday and may lack some of the features that would cause premature failure. Overall I didn't feel it offered anything over the others (for the PREMIUM price) that would make it worthy of a spot in the video or my toolbox.
CHINA brand CLONES: Kimo, AC DELCO, AOBEN, etc
AC Delco is the best of the bunch but I still would steer clear. All the other brands DON'T DO IT; JUST BUY THE HUSKY. They are all made of the cheap plastic and their ratings are exaggerated. They have cheap cells in the battery packs that will die in no time and there are no replacement battery packs available.
Ryobi 18v ratchet
Kobalt 24v ratchet
CRAFTSMAN 20v ratchet
WAY to bulky to make it enjoyable. You would think they would amp this up and make it an unstoppable brute, but NO. Stick with the 12v stuff.
HORSE POWER number are just to show comparison and are off, but the ratio between the tools is right on and was the only point of it. I did real world tests with a PRONY BRAKE.
RESULTS from my makeshift Prony Brake
Makita could rotate 12-15ftlbs wo/stalling at 600rpm =1.4-1.7HP
Husky could rotate 12-15ftlbs wo/stalling at 200rpm= 0.5-0.6HP
Milwaukee could rotate 18-20ftlbs wo/stalling at 170rpm= 0.6-0.7hp
These tests have a lot of variables as well and it's virtually impossible to get exact numbers.

I've had the selector move out of gear on me to neutral but I blame myself for not making sure it was switch/engaged properly. It is possible I've also bumped it. But, I've never had it reverse on me. The way the switch lies, rubbing would cause it to lay back down in the correct position.

My husky only lasted 2 weeks and the bord started smoking and died on me. I didn't get a chance to return it so I ended up rigging it. I cut out the bord and hooked a wire to the switch and motor and I used an 18v milwaukee battery to power it and it works amazing. The only downside is no speed control and I can't hold the trigger down if it's not spinning because it starts to smell and can burn out the tool but it's definitely more power and speed with the 18v battery. I just have to be careful how I use it.

Great vid! First one of yours and One of the best I've seen, you cover all the bases and present in a nice, clear manner & don't talk for the sake of talking. Thanks. I have quite a few metabo tools in 12v & 18v lion which are superb, but they don't make an impact wrench like these. Got rid of milwaukee 12v gear some time back as I found the handles too bulky with their fat bullet batteries. They always feel a bit more heavy duty than makita, but that normally results in a weight premium too. So makita cxt for me and I'll go for the one with the interchangable heads, they also do a TL065DZ in the UK with slightly higher torque & fixed 3/8" head + an advertised 2000 rpm, so that must be crazy fast, but I use 3/8" & 1/4" sockets in my work, so Makita cxt wr100dz which is the UK version all the way!! Thanks again, I will be watching more of your vids now 🙂

I’ve been using true husky for over 2 years and I use it everyday as I am a mechanic and I’ve only had to charge it 4 times! Yes 5 times! It’s not the strongest but you can break bolts lose then it’s fast and it has a variable speed! One thing is keep the head clean or you can lose the gear grab or how ever it grabs the 3/8s stud! Plus it dosent ever start to lose speed or strength until battery gauge is on 1! I’m a makita guy and will get it but I don’t care what anyone says the husky is the best rachet on the market bar non cause you can usually get it for 60$ and battery is built in! Again 5 times in over 2 years with is all I’ve charged it and everyday use! I use it mostly for dismantling and then reassemble of engine bay and undercarriage!

I'm sure I'm using a lot of wrong terms but idk much & I'm trying to learn how to take care of my car in case of emergencies. Thanks for everything!

@UnkyJofus 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the video! I have the husky(was a gift 2 yrs ago), but I've considered getting the M12 since I am already into that line. I think the brushed M12 is supposed to be a little better with speed, but less ft/lbs.

@sixtyfiveford 3 жыл бұрын

I used the Husky and the M12 brushed and I preferred the Husky. I felt like the Husky was faster and maybe just a smidge more powerful. Also these both are so short you put a ton of pressure on the back end and I could feel the battery flexing constantly with the Milwaukee.

I keep wanting to like the Milwaukee, but it just sits unused. Makita just feels so much better. The only thing it lacks is torque compared to the Milwaukee but all the other things out way this.

I went with Hercules. I was considering husky, but the lack of replaceable batteries was the deciding factor. If you use a cordless ratchet a lot you’ll have to buy multiple Husky ratchets. I’ve always had good luck with Hercules power tools. I have a bunch of them. I recently replaced all of my 20v Hercules with m18 fuel line and got the m12 fuel drill and driver, but I couldn’t justify the price for their fuel ratchets. Plus, the fuel ratchets heads are massive!!!! Hercules works great as long as you remember to not be a bonehead and try to use them as breaker bars. Lol

Fantastic review! So many things I would not have thought about. Except for the long anvil and higher torque, there's almost no reason to buy the Milwaukee, unless you've already invested in their system. But if I was going to invest in Milwaukee system I wouldn't invest in the 12 volt anyway. When you first started talking about these I was thinking okay, hands down, there's no reason to buy anything other than the Husky. But then you went into the features that the Makita has, and I was like wow. The Makita's price point is high, but you do get a lot for your money. At the end of the day though I still think I would end up buying the Husky.

@sixtyfiveford 3 жыл бұрын

What you get for the money, the Husky can't be beat. It has been a fantastic tool for the past 2+years. I thought the Milwaukee was going to blow me away, but I have a decent amount of buyers remorse. Yes it powerful but you still end up using like a manual ratchet all the time to break fasteners free, then you have to wait seemingly forever for it to spin the bolt out. At least with the Makita and Husky when you have to manually break a bolt free, it spins it off in seconds.

The extended reach comes in handy in the body section. It is nice when you need to reach behind a bumper cover or to get to some of those bolts/screws behind there or behind the front grill area, or even in the rear/trunk section. I see it as having different tools for different jobs. Plus, when it comes to nut busting torque, unless you are in a really tight area, where you can't pivot the handle, we all know that we tend to use the ratchet handle and our arm to loosen the bolt/nut/screw and then pull the trigger to spin it. As far as the paddle handle/trigger, I do find that sometimes when the ratchet is in a tight space, I may only be able to get my fingers on part of it, and that longer section is nice to have.

@HoosierDaddy_ 3 жыл бұрын

I agree. I've got every tool platform and makita usually wins the smooth test. That ratchet is the only tool I want, but don't have. Mainly since it's a 12v and I'm on all 18v for makita tools. If I'm using a ratchet, I don't want torque or I'd use an impact. I want speed. My Milwaukee tools can break off transmission pan bolts that may be corroded on and that's too much. And I'm not reaching for the ratchet to replace control arms or suspension parts. You're far more realistic about things than just a "how powerful is it" tester. Therefore I will now order my makita ratchet. Thanks for the videos!

I wish Makita had more 12v tools that I would actually use with this platform. That was my biggest hesitation to buy it, but I'm not dissapointed even if this is the only 12v Makita tool I ever own.

Good info muh man. Samesies with me on the husky. Got it at Home Depot for 49.99 on sale a couple years ago, and haven't turned back. I had the Earthquake one from Harbor Freight and it's honestly a very nice tool, but bulky, and with battery was about $130 I believe. So not a bad price. BUT, the performance and the bargain of the husky, and it's compactness??? HANDS DOWN the best one on the market. Makita tech on that thing is pretty awesome though. Swapping out the heads is f🇺🇲cking sweet!

I love Project Farm videos, but his video has too many data and I get confused all the time. Your video is based more on your personal experience, and I love it! Because I'm Japanese, I'm a Makita guy. But I was thinking about buying milwaukee ratchet wrench because many car youtubers like "ChrisFix" are using it, b however, this video just changed my mind. Maybe I should stick with Makita.

@jmackinjersey1 3 жыл бұрын

The thing about Milwaukee is that their Fuel line have more torque (55 ft/lb) than speed (200-250rpm), and their M12 have (450 RPM) and (35 lb/ft torque). So, in that aspect, Milwaukee has more tools specifically made for each situation. This way you don't have to sacrifice one for the other, you simply buy the short one and the long/extended reach. So, if you are removing something like an oil pan or valve cover etc. that typically has lower torque settings, then you'd use the low torque, fast spinning tool, and if on other, harder torque applications, then the high torque, slower spinning tool.

@@atomikrobot300099 Years ago I went to China and looked at a lot of their manufacturing practices. Places like Harbor Freight do not make anything themselves. Independent factories just steal designs and they all make copies of the exact same thing and you were able to buy them and they'll put whatever brand name you want on them. There will literally be 50 to 100 factories making the exact same identical item in any color of plastic you want. So Harbor Freight did a bid with a random factory and said yeah make a million and a half of these with our name on it and ACDelco said the same thing to the same factory or one of the same factories using the same designs.

@sixtyfiveford 3 жыл бұрын

I've pulled the anvils in and out probably 100 times now and it has no issue. Every once in a while a socket will pull the anvil out when you remove it. It's only randomly and only when I use impact socket with the pass through ball detent hole. They do have a replaceable hog ring that would be the only thing to need replacing once in a while. It's funny because the Makita detent is super strong where the Milwaukee denent ball is weak and I'm constantly having deep sockets or socket with extensions fall off into the engine bay.
