Our take on the Milwaukee M12FIR38LR-0 12V FUEL Brushless Long Reach 3/8in Ratchet

The Milwaukee M12FIR38LR-0 is a 12V cordless ratchet with a brushless FUEL motor, 75 Nm of peak torque and 200 rpm. Its long-reach body adds 81 mm over the standard M12 ratchet, so it reaches fasteners behind radiators, under dashboards and deep in engine bays where a short ratchet will not fit. It is a bare tool with a 1/4" adaptor, aimed at working mechanics rather than occasional DIYers. Against compact 12V ratchets from other brands it trades a little bulk for reach and torque, and owners rate the brushless motor and steel yoke housing for holding up to daily shop use.

What reviewers say

Owners and reviewers treat it as a serious shop tool: the reach gets into places a standard ratchet cannot, and the brushless motor and steel housing are seen as built for daily professional use. Complaints centre on the bare-tool packaging and the length becoming a nuisance in open areas.

Questions and answers

Does it come with a battery and charger?
No. It is supplied as a bare tool with a 1/4" drive adaptor. You need a Milwaukee M12 battery and charger, sold separately.
How much torque does it make?
Up to 75 Nm of maximum torque at 200 rpm, which is strong for a 12V ratchet.
How much extra reach does it add?
The extended body adds 81 mm of length over the standard M12 ratchet, for access into tight spaces.
What drive size is it?
It has a 3/8" square drive and ships with a 1/4" adaptor for smaller sockets.
Is it worth it over the standard M12 ratchet?
If you regularly work in cramped engine bays or behind dashes, the extra reach earns its place. For open, accessible fasteners the shorter ratchet is handier.
