    I used ruclips.net/user/postUgkx4ynqaujg7rZKFapA8s29kTpRszJGa3-K this for the first time today to replace the front wheel bearing on my rwd 98 dodge dakota. This had absolutely no issue removing or reinstalling the lug nuts and it took off the axle nut without any struggle. Sounds like it's got some muscle to it. Time will tell

      Same here. It works for what I need it. If I need high speed, I have the m12 right angle impact driver. However, if my brushed 3/8 ratchet breaks then I'll go with the higher torque fuel one.

    One of the reasons I got into the M12 system to start with was their ratchet. I got the 3/8 FUEL but I don't use it as much as I thought I would and part of that is it's weight and bulk, it literally weighs more than the stubby impact. So I think I would really like this new smaller and faster version a lot more.

Thankfully the CP 3.0 battery I just bought did not break. Decided to go with the high speed 3/8" to replace it. It is a nice tool for sure. R.I.P. M12 Fuel 1/2 Ratchet.

    The older version had 56ft lbs of torque the new ones are 35 ft lbs of torque but are way faster. If you ask me as a non mechanic I prefer the older version even though the head is bigger. But I definitely see for mechanics or other workers who need productivity switching to the new faster version.

      Interesting. But the torque would be the same at max on a high speed and you would loose power significantly as you dropped the speed. I think it would be a motor and gearing issue. The handle and VST are so easy to control! It is not needed and could be one more thing to go wrong.

    One of my complaints about the wratchet is the slow speed. But then they added 2 more of my biggest complaint and made them worse. They made it shorter, so now you have to fit a big hand wrapped around a big thick rather handle into a tight place (potentially) and the flush mount direction change. Kill me now!!! First, the should have made the extended reach ratchet faster. I don’t even use me shorter ones any more ….ever. And second if you’re ever worked in a tight place with the old ratchet direction change switch, you’ll know how stupid that is, if you back it into something and can’t fit you hand it to reverse it, you smashing it out with other tools. Milwaukee should be making these with a switch like the right angle impact or stubby. They aren’t really listening to their customers. This is gimmicky to make the fan boys get the new new before they actually release the extended reach high speed and make you waste you money on this piece of shit gimmick.

    Why people want speed when you can just sit for a while waiting for that ratchet to do its job, or want the job faster and have early smoko? 😂

    Did he say the high speed lowered the torque. Those ratchets torque are barely noticeable now. Any loss of power is totally unacceptable. I have both 3/8 ratchet and I don’t think it is something that I need to run out and get. I’ll keep what I got. Hey this an infomercial. Are you a paid spokesperson. Please explain.

    Kinda chasing snap on still... Snap on has more torque still has 270rpm so still quite fast and you can put a bit of manual torque on them and not give you the Heebie jeebies that it's going to snap lol
