  • Our take on the Milwaukee 2559-21

    The Milwaukee 2559-21 is the 3/8-inch drive version of Milwaukee's M12 cordless ratchet, sold as a single tool with one battery and charger. It runs on the M12 12-volt battery platform and spins its head at roughly 250 rpm, so it does the wrist work of breaking and running down nuts while you hold the socket. It is built for mechanics and DIYers working in tight engine bays, under dashes and on assemblies where a hand ratchet needs room to swing. Compared with air ratchets it drops the hose and compressor, and compared with Milwaukee's own Fuel high-speed ratchets it trades speed for a slimmer, lighter head and a lower entry point into the M12 line.

    Pros
    • Powered ratchet does the turning, so less wrist strain on long jobs
    • 3/8-inch drive covers most automotive sockets
    • Compact steel head reaches where a full ratchet and swing arc will not
    • Runs on the shared M12 battery platform
    • Variable-speed trigger gives control when seating a fastener
    Cons
    • Not a torque wrench: final tightening still needs a hand tool
    • Head is slower than Milwaukee's high-speed Fuel ratchets
    • Bare-tool value depends on already owning M12 batteries
    • Battery adds bulk at the handle compared with a plain hand ratchet

    What reviewers say

    Owners of Milwaukee's M12 ratchets generally rate them as a genuine time-saver in tight spots, with the 3/8-inch version praised for reach and build. Common complaints are the modest speed and the need to finish torque by hand.

    What people mention
    • SpeedMixedOwners say it turns faster than by hand but is not quick enough to replace a high-speed ratchet.
    • SizePraisedThe compact head is the main reason buyers reach for it in tight engine bays.
    • BuildPraisedThe steel head and M12 body are described as sturdy and long-lasting.
    • BatteryMixedSharing M12 packs is convenient, but the battery makes the handle heavier and bulkier.
    • TorqueCriticisedReviewers note it will not break loose or final-tighten stiff fasteners on its own.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Milwaukee 2559-21 a 3/8-inch or 1/4-inch ratchet?
    It is the 3/8-inch drive M12 cordless ratchet. That makes it the larger of Milwaukee's two standard M12 ratchet sizes and the one that takes common automotive sockets.
    Does it come with a battery and charger?
    Yes. The 2559-21 is a kit, so it includes one M12 battery and a charger along with the tool. Milwaukee also sells bare-tool versions for people who already own M12 packs.
    Can it replace a torque wrench?
    No. It is for running nuts on and off and for breaking them loose. Final tightening to a specified torque still needs a torque wrench.
    How does it compare with Milwaukee's Fuel high-speed ratchet?
    The Fuel high-speed ratchet spins faster and is aimed at production work. This model has a slimmer, lighter feel and is the simpler entry into the M12 ratchet line.
    Will it fit where a hand ratchet won't?
    Often, yes. The powered head needs less swing room than a hand ratchet, which is why owners use it under dashes and on tightly packed engine components.
    What sockets does it use?
    Standard 3/8-inch drive sockets. No adapter is needed for 3/8-inch sockets, and an adapter is required for 1/4-inch or 1/2-inch ones.
    Where is the Milwaukee 2559-21 cheapest?
    At JB Tools, for $366.69, as of our latest check.
