- In this video we take a look at the Milwaukee M12 3/8" cordless ratchet. The ratchet is available as a bare tool (2457-20) and as a kit (2457-21) with case and battery. This is a great tool for assembly or disassembly in tight spaces or where smaller, torque sensitive fasteners are used.

This M12 3/8" ratchet is a great little tool for assembly or disassembly. Available on Amazon amzn.to/2BGmO0D
What amazes me is people buy these and get mad it doesn't break the bolts loose. None of these are designed to do that. That's what a impact is for. You did exactly what these are meant for. Break it loose first like a ratchet then let the tool do it's thing
Exactly, It still get the job done quicker simply because you can break a few bolts loose like a ratchet then the tool takes over..
I found a Milwaukee M12&M18 in 1 charger in my barn a few weeks ago. Just picked up this 3/8 Ratchet with battery & single charger..
Since the 2nd charger got a M18 spot as well Its time to add to it..
Just got rid of my Kobalt Impact 24v I love it but I had to switch to Milwaukee
Why not just use an impact wrench always?
@@Yoyomanmanholla you may shear the bolts off depending what grade or material it is. You could use a bulldozer to dig a small hole but wouldn't a shovel be better? Right tools for the right job my man
@@chicago1680 the Milwaukee stubby has a low speed mode to prevent overpowering the bolt
@@Yoyomanmanholla I have one of those too but sometimes I need to feel what I'm working on if that makes sense
I looked at them all and went with this. The nice fuel was large along with most of the other brands. Excellent review
Would using it by hand to break loose a bolt eventually cause it to break down internally?
No
Can we use an extender or they make extenders for this as well ? For hard to get places
I actually bought two of these kits. They were on sale for $199 for the ratchet, case, charger and TWO of the biggest M12 batteries. The batteries cost $179 each by themselves. Now I have two ratchets and 4 batteries so I can just buy bare tools in the future. I plan on getting the long-reach 1/4" ratchet and maybe a 1/2" too. I was skeptical about cordless ratchets. Just seemed like an extra hassle but they really are a time saver and keep my arms from getting so fatigued.
Hi, I've read of persons complaining about the head ( Ratchet portion) of the this non fuel version being weak, and having it replaced under warranty more than once in some cases, maybe it was improperly used? Id appreciate to know how yours has held up and what has been your typical use of this . Thanks
Is this also made in China like every other cordless ratchet? Thanks
while this obviously won't help you break your lug nuts off I find it helpful for putting the wheels back on without having to worry about over-torquing with your impact wrench. that way you can just tighten them with this while the car is still jacked up and then drop the car and do final torquing with your torque wrench
how do rate air compression tools cost and quality?
Pneumatic tools are good if you have a compressor. The downside is that you have to deal with the air hose possibly getting hung up on something or just being in your way. The other thing is that they usually require about 90 psi to operate. Most affordable compressors can’t maintain that much pressure for very long if you’re continuously using the tool.
Seems like you have to manually break the bolts and then the tool takes over.. has no breaking force
This tool is Not made for torque, it's for speed. Kind of let down after finding this all out. I just bought it. Hopfully it works good for me even with initially manually using this ratchet to break the bolts free...we will see or it's going back to the store.
I love these little guys. $99 for the kit with cordless screwdriver RIGHT NOW
Yeah same for the Ratchet and M12 driver....
Yeah I already used mine. Great deal
Does this put out more power with a 2 or 3ah battery vs the 1.5ah?
I have this and the fuel version. I usually grab this one because it's smaller and faster. Wish they would give the fuel power with this size and speed
I've used the Fuel 3/8" a few times. Power was great but agree on the size
@@toolzine
I don't see any benefit with the small size of this model vs the new fuel because its mainly just the head which the fuel is about the same size as most pneumatic ratchets and this older versions head is similar in size to a hand ratchet. The rest of the body is nearly the same with a minuscule difference in thickness.
I've yet to find a situation where you can't fit the fuel into a tight space that the older version is capable of fitting into.
@@obliviondio I have had problems using the fuel iin tight spaces its supposed to be the latest and greatest. I took it back it's not the latest and greatest it should be more compact not bigger. I said it before they can make a stubby impact that puts out 250ftlbs which I have but the new ratchet they make it bigger and bulkier. They went back in time. It reminds me of 80s headphones just big and bulky and looks out of place with today's tools. I went back to the older version and it does just fine for me. It wasn't worth the extra cost. I can't say upgrade because I feel this version is more of a downgrade . That old saying bigger is not always better.
@@chicago1680
The 3/8 offers around 100lbs of manual torque which is not an official number but is still vastly dominate over any previous battery ratchet. The 1/2 offers even more up in the 200s.
This year they announced an extended neck and slimmer head design to address what people didn't like about the fuel ratchets. These new extended head fuels will also maintain the same manual torque ratings and even add on the mechanical torque.
2 years later and they have what you asked for, the new high speed fuel... my question is have you gotten it yet?
And if the bolt or nut is super tight, just use a breaker bar to break everything loose and then use the ratchet.
Don’t know if I should get this or the extended version Mainly using it for tight spots or brake jobs
It's all personal preference. I like the non-fuel one better but you should check them out at a local store and see for yourself.
This was a great fucking review
Seems kind of useless. Why not just use the m12 impact wrench stubby?
Because you can't go everywhere under the hood with just a impact, also a impact is too heavy of a torque for most bolts on your vehicle outside of the wheels, 35foot pounds is perfect for most bolts. I also have a small powerful impact with extensions and sometimes It's useless if you can't get in tight spaces. I drive a Jeep and offroad often, this is a must have for me. Its also a regular rachet you should be able to bust 35 foot lbs manually with no issue.
Not Fake
Is this strong enough to take off lugs off of a car wheel
Nope, that's why I didn't buy this expensive tool
No you want the M12 for that, even the 3/8 can do it these days. It used to be you had to have a 1/2, but you can get alot of torque on the fuel M12 and other competitors.
@@brooktech7869 do you mean the m18?
@@rrodriguez4378 Yea probably is the M18, I have the Makita impact stubby 3/8 clone of it.
