  • Our take on the Milwaukee M12 FUEL 3/8 in. Ratchet (2557-20)

    The Milwaukee M12 FUEL 3/8 in. Ratchet is a cordless ratchet that runs on Milwaukee's 12V battery platform. Its brushless motor delivers up to 55 ft-lbs of torque at 200 RPM, which Milwaukee compares to pneumatic ratchet performance. The head is 1.6 in wide and the tool weighs about 2.8 lbs with a battery, so it fits into engine bays and tight chassis spaces where an air hose will not reach. It suits mechanics and DIYers already on the M12 platform; buyers new to the system should note the tool ships as a bare tool with no battery or charger.

    What reviewers say

    Owners and reviewers rate the M12 FUEL ratchet highly for its torque and reach in tight spots. Many describe it as a genuine replacement for an air ratchet, though some note the bare-tool packaging and the weight with a battery attached.

    • TorquePraisedOwners say it has enough torque to break loose and run down most fasteners without an air line.
    • SizePraisedThe slim head and short body let it reach fasteners in tight engine bays.
    • WeightMixedSome owners find it heavier than a compact air ratchet once a battery is fitted.
