Our take on the Milwaukee 2456-20 M12 Cordless 1/4" Ratchet, Bare Tool

The Milwaukee 2456-20 is a bare-tool 1/4-inch cordless ratchet in the M12 line. It delivers 30 ft-lbs of torque at 250 RPM and weighs 1.9 lbs with a battery, with a low-profile head about 3/4 inch tall. It is built for tight engine bays, under-dash work and assembly where a hand ratchet runs out of swing room. Against air ratchets and larger cordless models it trades raw torque for size and freedom from a hose; the bare-tool format means you supply the M12 battery and charger.

Questions and answers

Does it come with a battery and charger?
No. It is the bare tool only. You need an M12 battery and charger, sold separately.
How much torque does it make?
30 ft-lbs at 250 RPM. That handles most light fasteners but not heavily seized bolts.
What size sockets does it take?
It has a 1/4-inch square drive, so it uses standard 1/4-inch drive sockets.
How compact is the head?
The low-profile head is about 3/4 inch tall, which helps it reach fasteners a hand ratchet cannot swing on.
Is it worth it over a hand ratchet?
It saves time on repetitive and hard-to-reach fasteners and runs without an air hose. If you rarely need power in tight spots, a hand ratchet is enough.
Does it have a light and battery gauge?
Yes. A built-in LED lights the work surface and a fuel gauge shows remaining run time.
