The M12 FUEL INSIDER is a 12V brushless cordless ratchet that takes sockets and adapters directly into its head instead of onto a square anvil. That pass-through design gives it the lowest profile of any Milwaukee ratchet with a socket fitted, so it reaches fasteners deep in an engine bay that a conventional ratchet cannot. It delivers 60 ft-lbs of torque at 350 RPM and ships as a kit with a battery, 8-19mm and 21mm box sockets, a 1/4 in. hex bit, and 1/4 in. and 3/8 in. anvil adapters. It suits mechanics and DIYers working on tight engine, suspension and underbody fasteners; the trade-off against a standard cordless ratchet is that it needs its own pass-through sockets for the lowest-profile work.

Owners rate it highly and single out the low profile and pass-through sockets for reaching fasteners that ordinary ratchets cannot. Complaints center on the head size and the need for the dedicated sockets.
The Milwaukee M12 FUEL INSIDER is a 12V brushless cordless extended reach box ratchet. Its patented head design lets sockets and adapters insert directly into the tool. This gives it a low profile with a socket attached, so it can reach deep into an engine bay and into tight spaces.
The kit includes INSIDER Box Ratchet Sockets in 8 to 19 mm and 21 mm sizes, a 1/4 in. hex bit, a 1/4 in. anvil adapter and a 3/8 in. anvil adapter. The box ratchet sockets are pass-through up to 15 mm and 9/16 in., so nuts can run onto threaded rod without the socket bottoming out.
The tool delivers up to 60 ft-lbs. of torque and 350 RPM for removing stubborn fasteners.
