Our take on the Milwaukee 2457-20 M12 Cordless 3/8" Ratchet W/ 48-11-2440 M12 XC4 Battery Pack

The Milwaukee M12 Cordless 3/8" Ratchet is a 12V powered ratchet built for tight spaces: a 3/4-inch low-profile head, 250 RPM and a claimed 33 to 35 ft-lbs of torque. It weighs about 1.9 lbs with a battery and uses a barrel grip with a variable-speed metal trigger, an onboard fuel gauge and an LED light. This bundle pairs the bare tool with one M12 REDLITHIUM XC 4.0 extended-capacity battery; a charger is not included. Against air ratchets and larger cordless ratchets it trades peak torque for compactness, and owners like it for speed in engine bays and under dashes where a hand ratchet is slow.

Pros
  • Compact 3/4-inch low-profile head reaches tight spots
  • 250 RPM speeds up long runs of bolts
  • Light at about 1.9 lbs with battery
  • Variable-speed metal trigger gives control
  • Onboard fuel gauge and LED light
  • Reinforced housing and 5-year tool warranty
Cons
  • Torque is modest; not a substitute for a breaker bar or impact wrench
  • Bare tool plus battery, but no charger in the box
  • Barrel grip and 10.4-inch length limit some angles
  • Head is low-profile but still bulkier than a hand ratchet

What reviewers say

Owners treat the M12 ratchet as a time-saver in tight spaces, praising its compact head, light weight and trigger control. The common complaints are limited torque for stubborn fasteners and the need to already own M12 batteries and a charger.

What people mention
  • SizePraisedOwners say the low-profile head gets into engine bays and under-dash spaces a hand ratchet cannot.
  • WeightPraisedAt about 1.9 lbs with battery, users report less fatigue during overhead and long jobs.
  • TorqueCriticisedReviewers note it stalls on tight or rusted bolts and is not a replacement for an impact wrench.
  • TriggerPraisedThe variable-speed metal trigger is described as easy to feather for control.
  • BatteryMixedThe XC 4.0 pack gives good runtime, but buyers note no charger comes in the box.

About the Milwaukee 2457-20 M12 Cordless 3/8" Ratchet W/ 48-11-2440 M12 XC4 Battery Pack

This is the Milwaukee M12 cordless 3/8" ratchet with an M12 REDLITHIUM XC 4.0 Extended Capacity battery pack. It has a 3/8" drive and a barrel grip handle. The head is compact and low profile, 3/4" thick. The tool weighs 1.9 lbs with the battery, so it can fit into tight spaces and small engine bays.

The housing is reinforced for durability. A variable speed metal trigger controls the speed. An on-board fuel gauge shows the remaining run time, and a built-in LED light illuminates the work surface. The charger is not included.

Questions and answers

Is this a kit with a charger?
No. It includes the bare ratchet and one M12 REDLITHIUM XC 4.0 battery. A charger is not included, so you need an M12 charger or another M12 kit.
How much torque does it have?
Milwaukee rates it at 33 to 35 ft-lbs with 250 RPM. That is enough for most assembly and light automotive fastening, but not for breaking loose rusted bolts.
Will it fit in tight engine bays?
The head is about 3/4 inch deep and the tool is 10.4 inches long, which owners say reaches many spots a full-size ratchet will not. Very tight clearances can still block it.
Does it work with other M12 batteries?
Yes. It runs on the M12 REDLITHIUM platform, so any M12 pack fits, including compact 2.0 and larger XC packs.
Is it worth it over a hand ratchet?
For repeated fastening in cramped spaces, owners say the speed and reduced fatigue justify it. For occasional use or high-torque work, a hand ratchet and breaker bar still do more.
