The new hot ness LOL. For the price of the 3/8 Snap-on you can get both 1/4 and 3/8 Milwaukee's ratchets. They sent me the same two and I can't say enough good things about them. Love the videos look forward to the next one!

Great content... The Flat Rate Master is also the master of awkward pauses. I feel like I'm at my in laws when I watch his videos.

Love your videos... no shit my favorite part about your channel is that when you get lost for words you don't edit it out and you roll with it... keep up the good work!

Thank you FRM, I'm glad you were so frank regarding cost and quality and performance.

It's funny they've improved their tools so much and yet their beer is just a bad as it ever was.

Everyone at my body shop has snap on I’m buying Milwaukee they’re just a bunch of fanboys

I rocked the original 1\4 milwaukee ratchet for 5 years and its only now starting to get tired. Never bothered with the 3/8 because they were basically the same. Now i eagerly look forward to having both. No more hoses soon.

I had that and the large impact wrench in my basket on Amazon but wasn't sure if they are any good. Thank you I can buy now

When 3 year old FRM videos pop up in my timeline, I watch, click like and comment. Expecting the same courtesy in 3 years, lol.

If you only could have 1 (either the 3/8 fuel or 1/4 fuel), which one would you buy? I will be starting off as an apprentice technician soon, and I'm leaning towards the 3/8 but any advice is appreciated.

Great video. I got my 3/8 Milwaukee fuel no complaints. Still keeping my old Milwaukee ratchet too. I’m just waiting for the boot heads.

The 3/8" fuel ratchet is now $250.00 w charger and battery. That's pretty expensive.

Didn’t cover the major elephant in the room that truly makes it a snappy killer. Warranty. 1 year tool warranty versus 5 year. Just saying, makes a difference.

Let's not forget Milwaukee's 5 year warranty vs Snap-ons 1 year warranty.

Man, didn’t realize how different they were from the old ones. Wow. Looking forward to the updates. Thinking I need to put those on the “in the next year” list.

Snapon never had the power advantage in the first place, it never had.

I love my old 3/8, i got the new in the 1/2". I figure the old is still going strong. With the 1/2" i get 60 lb. torque so ill just get a 3/8 adapter if im doing bigger torque job. And i read that it can break bolt up to 200 plus lbs. Very nice

Thank you for doing this video. Exact information I needed cause Im looking into getting them

I have the regular Milwaukee 1/4 12v and it has served me work for 2 years of professional work untill I dropped it in a drain pan full of coolant .. now it's kinda picky on when it likes to work but it does work good when it likes too.. and yes I will buy another when it finally kicks the bucket

Will you do an update video on these, a part 2, how they have held since last year.

What's your opinion on the matco 16v 3/8 cordless ratchet? My dealer had a special for one with 2 batteries & charger I couldn't pass up.

Do have a problem with the 18 volt batteries cases breaking on the half inch impact.

The best ratchetts i have ever purchased. I got the half inch new gen 2. And i cant stop using it.after 1 day iv rang my rep and ordered the new 3/8 and 1/4 ratchetts.

Please let us know how they hold up. I have the older version of the 3/8 . And would to get the new one. Based on your appion

Ingersolls ratchets will blow these away. Once you go Ingersoll you will never use anything else. My favorite thing about their tools is the ergonomics, they are so comfortable to work with. The R1120 is their 1/4" ratchet, it's Rpm is it's strongest attribute. The R3130 is the 3/8" ratchet, this thing is as tough as they come and I've tried them all, a fresh battery and it can smack you like a super duty air ratchet. And my most favorite is the W5330, it is their 3/8" right angle impact. I can't say enough good things about it, this will make any technician faster. It's 180 ftlbs of torque, the speed of an impact, and the form of a ratchet. I use it so much that I keep a backup just in case, because work would be slow and depressing without it lol.

they are strong enough to loosen brake bolts for example or wheels bolts?

just got the 12v hammer drill and 12v impact driver, after having used the 18v line. so far havent come into a situation where ive required to bring out the 18v due to inadequate torque and theyre very light. will look forward to any updates you have, cheers mate

The facial expressions, head nodding and long pauses all day stroke. I counted at least 10. You may want to get it checked out 😂 Good video 👍

Can the anvil be replaced without sending the whole rachet in? I broke the 1/4 inch snap on anvil and had to send in the rachet at a repair bill of $129, (he didn't explain to me it wasn't warrantied) I was not happy

I have been switching to from snap on to Milwaukee and am not regreting it one bit

Snap on still has their brute 3/8 that puts out 70lb/ft of torque, but that's about the only advantage other than the balance of the tool.

Lucky. I can't wait to get my hands on one. I just picked up a Matco 1/4 cordless ratchet. It's nice. But I want the 3/8 fuel.

Finally saw one (3/8" drive) at Home D. Wow, those are heavy duty ratchet mechanisms !! Better be hanging on when you use one of these! Thanks for the Vid. !

I just got the new m18 high torque half inch and that is the best impact I have ever used or owned. I think I have a wrist sprang 🤣👍

Nice, good to know the power is same or better then the SO. looks like I will replace my snap on 3/8 electric ratchet, that way I have it for home use.

I have the Milwaukee right angle impact wrench that I’m really impressed with. I looking at a 1/4 rachet next.

Not to mention let's say you decide that you need to replace your batteries because they crapped out, got dropped in coolant or what have you. You can go to the nearest milwaukee retailer ie home depot, lowes (I think), tractor supply, ace and buy some batteries. Convenience is wonderful.

Great vid! Love my current 3/8 Milwaukee ratchet, will have to try the new 1/4 one.

Does Milwaukee make one with a longer neck I thought the regular short head snap on was ok and the Milwaukee also but I ain’t gonna lie I bought the long neck one instead and I love that thing that’s why I’m wondering if Milwaukee makes one too

Just bought those my self and love them! Also do you have a part number for that mini Marco box? Can’t find yellow and I need that little guy

The intent of the ratchet is tight spaces and convenience. The new ones are much heavier and larger in size(3/8). It sort of defeats the purpose of the tool...I wish the older version was brushless and FUEL( same size and weight) and it would be PERFECT!

Hey Mike nice job comparing the ratchets. I'm sure they will go the distance!

I actually really like my Snap-on ratchet. It's comfortable in my hand and I really like where the trigger is at. And honestly has enough power to do the jobs I do. Really just boils down to preference for me. That Milwaukee looks pretty stout though, good video.

Have the non fuel 3/8 drive, still going hard. Soon very soon getting the new high speeds 1/4 & 3/8 in

Got 3/8 on order.do you know if the 3/8 anvil will fit in the 1/4 body?

they look great whats the torque rating on the 3/8 compared to snap on

Milwaukee ratchets work really well. Great video.

Home Depot (Wisconsin) has the 3/8 ($149.00) and the 1/2 ($169.00) in stock. Tool only. I think the old ratchets (brush motors) are great for trim,covers, wheel splash shields, bumper covers etc. ; the new (brush-less motors , above) are for real nuts and bolts!!

the pauses between your words make the videos so funny lol

damnit, I just got the older style m12 impact driver, and the 1/4" older style... grr, oh well time to get myself a 3/8" then.... find I have to use a lot of adapters on the 1/4 to 3/8" anyways...

Man I can't wait to get the fuel ratchet. I'm def a Milwaukee fan but have always used their tools for my job installing HVAC equipment and have beat the hell out of the tools and never had an issue.

I'm the FNG in the shop I now work in. I have milwaukee M18's and M12's and I'm slowly converting the guys that use DeWalt products, as well as Mac Tools and Snap-On.

Will they make an M18 version?

So would these be more powerful than the newest Snap-on 14.4v? Ive tried all the other guys Snap-ons and those are powerful, not many guys have the new Milwaukees.

I can't agree better. I have the 1/4 and 3/8 extended length. It's really all you need. I love the extended 3/8.1/4 is normal length.

Milwaukee is all we use at our shop. 35 techs using the same tool daily. You can buy aftermarket batteries on Amazon for about 12.00 each. Looking forward to the new model!

I have been wondering thanks for the reviews

I own 3/8stubby,3/8 long head ratchet,3/8 regular ratchet and man i love all 3

Got this 2 weeks ago and love it. Problem is changing camp is going to cost a lot for many other ppl because they don't do trade in

i still got my brushed milwaukee rachet i dropped it so many times it still works

The high capacity batterys I love them

What’s the run time on the 2.0 battery????

Id like to see a good review of the m12 fuel 3/8 impact. The ct761 is the only thing keeping me from going to milwaukee

Just got my 3/8ths , so far i love it, no complaints. Glad i didnt go with the snap on for this.

If you had to get one only, 1/4 or 3/8?

Damn don't like how big the 3/8 is but I might buy the 1/2 and keep my old 3/8. (I carry only 1/2 on the trail with me and a small set of 1/4)

Dang you were right Mat-Co just drop off my 1/4 and it is awesome. Keep up the good work.

Awesome video , be getting them soon

Good video as always. I have the Milwaukee and snap-on cordless ratchets. I like both honestly, just comes down to preference I guess. Does seem like Milwaukee will put a dent in the snap-on sales. Also I'm wondering if snap-on will re-design there cordless ratchets.

What's an air ratchet?

I will have to see. I have to go on first impressions. When I had got my snap on I had beat the hell out of them. They look like beefy yes but when I have look at the older Milwaukee had lots of flex in the body.

Milwaukee has been getting around on a lot of channels. No one has ever said anything bad about them. Thanks for your input.

excellent review

Snap on 1 year warranty. Milwaukee 5 year warranty that was all you needed to say

Hat's in the mail I'm sure.

When I first started I said f it and bought everything Milwaukee instead of snap on. That’s when snap on was over hyped and I don’t regret one bit.

the newer Milwaukee tools don't seem to last as well with abuse (we always have tools out for repair) but they are surely listening to the tradesmen, making our jobs easier /safer/better

I have a lot of Milwaukee stuff now (never as much as I want) I think the new 3/8 ratchet head is to big I like the ability to shove it up a tight hole and undo stuff a ratchet will never undo

Milwaukee also carries a 5 yr warranty compared to snap on's 2 yr warranty. Cheaper, most chargers also charge the m12 and m18 batteries and they are super cheap compared to snappy

How is the 3/8 ratchet holding up

Great video thanks my friend. Looks like everyone is liking the Milwaukee brand know. I think they have stepped up there game. See you in the next one keep up the great work my friend

Great vid as allways

Not to mention a huge difference between warranty!

Yes, we need a video update!

The new Snap-on is stronger. But the price is nuts 650. Bucks for one ratchet and two battery’s and charger.

Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, in the 1/4 department in my opinion the Snap on is killing it. I️ bought the Milwaukee 1/4 (old version) and I️ hated it so much. It was just so slow, when my driver showed me the new Snap on 1/4 with 35 lbs and 350rpm, it was an instant deal. He really got me when we tested them side by side and he drover in a screw faster than I️ did after giving me a 5 second head start. I️ bought the new 3/8 fuel ratchet and I’ve been crazy disappointed with it. It’s damn near useless and doesn’t break anything free. I reach for my air one first still (130 lbs and phenomenal and breaking your hands). But I️ bought the cordless for when I️ have to change a starter on a semi that’s stuck in the parking lot. Both are good ratchets, 3/8 fuel now outpowers Snap on, but man they’re a lot slower. To me Snap on definitely wins in 1/4. I’m glad you like your new ratchets better than I️ did!! I️ just really enjoy the speed and size of the Snap ons. Now my milwaukee impacts are the cats ass and will eat the Snap one for lunch. But that’s a different story

Love my new 1/4 fuel ratchet

not to mention that milwaukee has a WAYY better warranty. 3 years on the battery and 5 years on the tool. cant beat it man.

I bought the 3/8 Milwaukee last week the tool is much stronger than the snap on 3/8 the only thing I have seen so far is that snap on has the free speed advantage for sure but I have the small battery that came with the kit and not the bigger one like you got

Only advantage I can see with the snappy ones is that over multiple replacements snap on flat fee for replacement even if you run it over vs Milwaukee (buy complete unit if out of warranty). What I don't get is if Milwaukee is so far ahead then why is Snap-On still selling alot of them, the ratchets. Possibly branding, sales skills of their franchisees which I will say is good with a good portion of them, the convenience of them being by shops weekly, being able to get a instant loaner, replacement or even upgrade with stuff going brushless with Snap-On finally which may have came a little to late though. Don't know why they waited so long especially with the impact tools market share they lost to Milwaukee. I noticed when Snap-On came out with the extended reach which I have only the 3/8 of Snap-On (body only purchase as I have batteries rebuilt for bad Snap-On batteries, cheaper this way) then Milwaukee came out with the extended reach which I got the 1/4 in version. I do have Milwaukee in the 3/8 and 1/2 drive impacts along with the brushed Snap-On ones in same drive sizes. I did have my Snap-On 1/2 drive impact go out and it was Appx $116 + tax and they went thru and rebuilt it. BAd part about the Snap-On half inch drive impact going bad is it wouldn't even loosen a pt cruiser wheel bearing nut but the Snap-On 3/8 drive spun it right off and rather quickly so I knew it was toast. With having both brands and drives along with extended drive ratchets I can honestly say that as long as I'm alive I'll probably never have to replace them again which itself is a good thing. Just curious and taking a guess that you're sponsored by Milwaukee in regards to them supplying your Milwaukee tools to you based on a comment in the video? IF so does this affect your reviews at times or not as I don't know if they have set terms with people (video influencers) they invite and/or bring to their tool reveal shows and who they supply tools to for videos, reviews, etc? I frankly don't know how that works and whether they have those involved sign NDA's or not. I do know both brands ratchets short, extended reach and both drive sizes can be used as ratchets which I love as it saves time on certain things given one has the room to use them as a ratchet vs having to switch from a breaker bar/ratchet to the cordless ratchet which can cost more time when we're all trying to save time. I still use and I'm hoping / guessing many others still use their air ratchets? Can't wait for the new M12 impact ratchet to be released. I have he M18 and it's a beast. Recently acquired the m12 - 90 degree die grinder / cutoff tool (late 2019) & this past week my new m12 straight die grinder arrived at the house. Can't wait to put that thru the trials. I have noticed as soon as I removed it, the straight die grinder from the box that the upper and lower body as some movement as they seem to be two halves mounted together. Wonder if this is something that Milwaukee is doing to allow them to repair them easily but also use the battery body housing's with multiple style tools? Has anyone else noticed this?

Have them send you the half inch Mike, and I'll use it for you. LOL It's the least I can do to support your channel.

When my old Milwaukee ratchet gave up the ghost I got a pro-mo deal on the new 1/4 and 3/8 Snap On ratchets. I like them but I should have waited and tried these new Milwaukee ratchets.

Never liked the old Milwaukee too much. I break 3 every year. Definetly looking forward to buying the new and improved!

Milwaukee did win their lawsuit they filed against Snap On too.Snap On infringed on 3 patents Milwaukee has the rights to and was awarded 28.7 million dollars.I do love my 1/4 drive Milwaukee fuel ratchet a lot,has retired my 1/4 air ratchet.Have used it under the hood,taking out screws in certain body part areas.Includes during a radiator replacement in a 1999 Jeep Wrangler.Next one will be the 3/8 Fuel ratchet I am going to purchase.

i love pissing off the snap on fanboys that think just because they spent so much money, they think they have the best or better tool. no, you just like it rough

Can't wait to get the 3/8 ratchet, always been a big fan of Milwaukee, blows other competitors out of the water for the money in my opinion. Great vid FRM you are the man my friend!

Thank you..

I own Boths milwakee and snap on boths work great and yeah Milwaukee has more power but the speed to work fast I go with snap on I know is expensive I do side job with Milwaukee so snap on I use it at work to get my flat rate fast lol

The thing that breaks my heart is o already have so many snapon batteries I hate to switch out all my electric tools

I wonder if they would handle being dropped vs snap on? I personally prefer my snap on air ratchets because of the all metal body because I tend to just toss them on the floor. My snap on 9.6v drill driver seems to handle being dropped and tossed around just fine.
