Find the best prices using our affiliate links: 1/4" Ratchet geni.us/m12-14in 3/8" Ratchet geni.us/m12-38in *FULL DISCLOSURE:* Milwaukee is sending us tools to use, to make videos with, and sometimes we get to give some away. We are under no obligation to review their products as part of that relationship, and this video went live before they saw it or gave us any feedback on it. I have had these ratchets since October 2017, did not receive monetary compensation or direction, opinions are my own, and everything is scripted myself. We only review tools that are high quality on this channel, and these ratchets impressed me. We are primarily an automotive channel demonstrating unique car builds and gas to diesel engine conversions, and think it makes sense to review automotive tools I actually use, as this is a common enough topic I get asked about. We welcome brands that want to help us continue what we love to do and show you how to do it. While we don't know what the future looks like, our goal with this KZfaq venture is to make our time on this platform profitable, and build unique vehicles with the revenue... So building good relationships with quality brands makes sense to us. We believe we can be one of the best automotive channels out there, we believe we can do that successfully while maintaining creative control, and we believe it should be free to watch.

I'm in ireland. I heard whispers about a cordless, airless wrench a few years ago. Hit the web and found the ONLY one in its class in the US. Milwaukee m12 1/4. Paid the import duties, criminal postage charges and got my wrench a month later. I had to do my timing belt and cylinder head IN THE STREET IN JAN. This wee tool is amazing. It now travels in my car. I use it to wind my jack up when I get a puncture then switch to an impact wrench. But honestly i LOVE this. On top of that experience I bought a Milwaukee impact driver for all the diy woodwork I do, awesome wee tool. So with complete confidence I bought an m12 combi drill a few days ago and it's defective out of the box. GGGGRRRRR. Trying to send it back. Very disappointing.

@whatfreedom7 5 жыл бұрын

roontunes if your talking about the new 4 mode 1/4” 12volt impact I have one and love it. Beats the hell out of my Bosch 1/4”. I also bought the newest 12volt screwdriver. Bad out of the box and literally went up in smoke the second use and the first use it met shutting down light it was in overload protection even not under load. So I returned it and now I have a replacement. It’s bad also but this time the selector switch fo the forward and reverse is having issues. It feels mushy when going to reverse and blocks the trigger from moving sometimes. I also had a 18 volt drill bad out of the box with selector switch issues also. When you would put it in reverse it would still run forward sometimes. They have good ideas but the quality isn’t that great.

Been looking at getting these since I've bought many Milwaukee tools over the past year, extremely impressed with them! For hand ratchets the Craftsman professional 3/8 is what I run along with a Kobalt stubby 3/8 and a Tekton 1/4in and I'll recommend Kobalt and Tekton for something better than Craftsman and not as pricey as Snap-On which are far better than the Mac's and Matco's IMO. And yea you "can't let the smoke out" because they have the overload protection built into the speed controller and that's also why they stop when they reach max torque but can't overcome a bolt.

Ive had a milwaukee 1/4 inch ratchet and their 1/4 inch impact driver for 2 years. They work well and the batteries last pretty long. I like 1/4 inch as they are pretty small. I usually break free the fastener manually and then run em out with 1/4.

I have been using the 3/8 and 1/4 for over 2 years now. I did manage to break the pinion on the 1/4" from pulling way too hard, but it was a cheap and easy fix to replace the part. Did not even bother with warranty. Other than that they have been flawless.

Most of the time they rebuild your ratchet for you right there on the truck. As far as cordless tools go, I don’t think anyone can beat Milwaukee at this point. Cost and warranty beat the tool trucks hands down. And performance is slightly better.

You can let the smoke out if you severely misuse your tool. It is much harder too with the technology we have now. In fact there are quite a few videos of the dewalt brushless impact the D887 being overworked and burning up the motor windings. The other great thing about brushless is that there are no sparks between the brushes and the commutator, so if you're working on a gas tank or some sort of volatile substance you don't run the risk of igniting it.

I have a 3/8 first gen model that is atleast 4 years old, i used to use it daily and used it on everything from trans pan bolts, to head bolts and lug nuts. When they say they designed it to be a ratchet they meant it. Ive stood on the end of these ratchets to break lug nuts loose, and put 5 foot pipes on the end of them. Broken a few batteries, but the tool has survived.The head is harder to flip from forward to reverse because its so worn out, but the motor and switch continue to work without issue. In fact im so impressed that i had all of my workers buy one, i guarantee with my new line of work they wont be replacing it for the next ten years unless they lose it or drop it in water, even that might not kill it. What makes me laugh is when my buddy spends 400$ on a new and shiny snapon 3/8 electric ratchet and even though its over 250$ more than the milwaukee, it still doesnt have a timed light feature. If you use this ratchet alot, that little light becomes invaluable.So while he has to keep the trigger held wasting battery, i can just tap mine every 5-10 seconds or so. Also, he upgrades his tools every year when they get a new and shiny model out that has extra blasto-5000 guts inside of it. Ive literally never had to buy anything else except for batteries, Even those were just extra not necessities.

Exhaust tubing, cutting wooden garage siding over the stud for replacement of rotten pieces. Knife plunging and still keeping the blade straight if you can believe.

The only thing about their brushless 12v fuel ratchets is that the head compared to the brushed version is alot bigger not allowing to get into tighter spaces so I got the 1/4” drive version and their new long reach version. For easy access bolts the 3/8” drive is fine especially when you use larger sockets.

So now in the beginning of 2021, they have the "high speed" fuel versions ... essentially the smaller non-fuel head (so a lower torque rating) but faster speed. They're also offering replacement anvils. I was really torn between the standard fuel and extended reach fuel, but I think for most of my uses, it's hard to justify the extra coin for the extended reach ... I'll be ordering the 3/8" standard length/speed fuel this week.

Hey very complete history of the Ratchet. You are the first person that has confirmed for me that this is a variable speed tool. It is not in print anywhere on Milwaukee's site. They cover the older version. Thank you. Mine is on the way. Excited. Like your presentation bro.

Is it worth getting the 1/4 and 3/8? If you could only get one, which would it be?

I’m so hesitant to get one. One hand, new tools are always awesome. not having to ratchet out a mile long bolt is a plus. Already on the m12 platform. But on the other hand, it costs money, and i would be way to tempted to grab the battery for that extra 2 inches of leverages. And that’s always been my problem with air ratchets. I would always find my hand working it’s way down the ratchet until I was holding on by the actual air fitting. Not to mention the head on the fuel ratchets is so damn big. And of course you (I) gotta have the brushless model so no brushes for me.
