The Milwaukee 2558-22 is a cordless 1/2-inch drive ratchet built on the M12 FUEL platform. Its POWERSTATE brushless motor delivers up to 60 ft-lbs of torque, and the low-profile head plus slim body reach fasteners that hand ratchets and impact wrenches struggle to touch. The investment cast-steel yoke and reinforced mechanism are made to take repeated high-torque loads, and the variable trigger runs 0 to 175 rpm for controlled threading. It suits mechanics and tradespeople doing assembly and teardown in tight engine bays and under-dash spaces; against air ratchets it trades peak speed for cordless freedom, and against larger impact wrenches it gives up breakaway torque for access.

Owners of the M12 FUEL ratchet line generally praise the reach and build for tight-space work, and the brushless motor is seen as a step up over older brushed M12 ratchets. Complaints tend to center on it not replacing a full impact wrench and on the head size in the tightest spots.
The Milwaukee M12 FUEL 1/2" Ratchet 2 Battery Kit is a cordless ratchet for fastener installation and removal. It has a slim design with a low-profile head for reaching bolts in tight spaces. A POWERSTATE brushless motor delivers up to 60 foot-pounds of torque.
The yoke is investment cast steel, and the ratchet mechanism is reinforced to withstand high torque loads. The handle is overmolded for a comfortable grip. An LED lamp lights the work area.
A variable trigger controls ratchet speed from 0 to 175 rpm. The kit includes two Lithium-ion batteries, which deliver fade-free power at temperatures below zero degrees Fahrenheit. REDLINK intelligence enhances battery performance and protects against overloads.
