- Is the extended reach version worth it over the standard M12 ratchet?
- If you regularly work on bellhousing, firewall or under-dash fasteners, yes: the long neck reaches places the standard ratchet cannot. For general engine work with room to move, the shorter version is handier.
- How much torque does the 2560-20 have?
- Milwaukee rates it at about 55 ft-lbs, with up to 200 RPM. That is enough for most small and medium fasteners but not a substitute for a high-torque impact wrench.
- Does it come with a battery and charger?
- The 2560-20 is the bare tool, so it ships without a battery or charger. It uses any M12 battery, which many buyers already own.
- What size sockets does it take?
- It has a 3/8 in. square anvil, so it takes standard 3/8 in. drive sockets. The anvil uses a detent rather than a friction ring, so check that your sockets lock on securely.
- Can it break loose rusted bolts?
- It handles most small and medium fasteners, but heavily rusted or high-torque bolts may still need a breaker bar or impact wrench. Use it to run fasteners in and out rather than as a breaker.
- Is it too long for everyday use?
- In open areas the long body is clumsier than a compact ratchet. It is best treated as a second ratchet for tight spots rather than your only one.
