Our take on the Milwaukee M12 Fuel 3/8" Ratchet 2 Battery Kit

The Milwaukee M12 Fuel 3/8" Ratchet is a cordless ratchet built to replace air-powered ratchets in the shop. It delivers up to 55 ft-lbs of torque at 200 rpm from a compact, low-profile head that reaches into tight spaces. The Fuel motor, reinforced mechanism and cast steel yoke housing are made for daily professional use. It suits automotive mechanics and maintenance techs who want hose-free portability, and it competes with pneumatic ratchets and other cordless ratchets on size and torque.

Milwaukee built it for that. It delivers up to 55 ft-lbs and 200 rpm without an air hose, though very tight fasteners may still need manual breakaway.

How much torque does it make?
Up to 55 ft-lbs of maximum torque at 200 rpm.
Does it work with other M12 batteries?
