I’m so impressed with what Milwaukee tool is doing. Their electric impact tools are the best and now tool boxes, under hood lights , ratchet and hand tools. The industry as change , in the 90’s and early 2000’s a hundred hour week was nothing and you didn’t mind paying 300 bucks for ratchet. Now if you make 40 hours is like hitting the Lottery so , it’s nice to see good tools at affordable prices.
It's obvious, you have been around the industry for a few years. You are correct, it's hard to afford to just throw money at tools today. Always need to search for the best value of performance for the $$. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for this, never would have dreamed of applying that much torque to a ratchet at any of these 3 sizes. Milwaukee under priced these (will be getting all 3) but they definitely overpriced their flex head ratcheting wrenches. Their pricing structure across the board is confusing to say the least.
I think @ProjectFarm tested the 1/2 Milwaukee ratchet to fail at over 300ft lbs. I was so impressed with it I now own all three socket and ratchet sets. Today I just ordered the 1/4 stubby from home depot with a $25 gift my brother got me for fathers day. Could have used it a few weeks ago but the opportunity will arise again!
I think the folks at Milwaukee wake up every day and ask themselves how they can hand Snap-On their asses today... Milwaukee is just flat out dominating the tool industry and advancing their tool lineup leaps and bounds above every competitor.
Those internals look almost verbatim to the Carlyle 90 tooth A models (the A models have T9 torx bits instead of a snap ring) with the three gaskets, direction selector retaining pin and the pawl design
I went by Advanced Auto today and picked up a three pack (1/4, 3/8 and 1/2) of the new Diehard ratchets. All were very dry inside and got the full treatment. They are identical on the inside to Milwaukee. The pawl on the Diehard has less writing but they are the same shape. Both are laser etched on the head and both have the same pawl. Both have all the seals and same switch design. Both have the anvil that seats into the head and pin like pawl spring thing. Milwaukee does have a unique handle design. The comfort grip Diehard have very nice handles too tough. Diehard has no stamped markings at all.
I have the 3/8 and 1/4 from the sets and they are nice but I just use comfort grips. I’m young and plan on saving my body for the future. Comfort grips, knee pads, ear protection, glasses, power tools, and gloves. Chrome is easy to clean and looks nice but I’d rather save my hands.
As a DYI mechanic, who will not be doing any engine rebuilding or suspension work, do you think the regular 3/8th ratchet set will be good enough ? I was thinking of getting the 1/2 set but now I'm debating getting the 3/8 extended ratchet to go along with my 3/8 set. The length of the regular 1/2 and the extended 3/8 are the same.
It would be nice of Milwaukee to offer a bundle deal for those of us who would buy all of the ratchets at once. I know that Milwaukee is listening but it’d be nice if they responded.
Damnit I just bought snap on extended 3/8 and 1/2 ratchets. I like snap on though. They make great ratchets. I have a Milwaukee 3/8 standard length ratchet and it’s not my go to ratchet unless I need something shorter than my snap on 3/8 ratchet, but I do like the milwaukee ratchet I have, seems to be built really well and is well built.
@@FusionBoost2.0 I have a 26” US General toolbox filled with Snappy tools that I bought through school :P but yes, Snap On ratchets are so well built and smooth.
These are looking really nice but to compete in the mechanics world they’ll have to come out with a soft grip and a flex with possible lock to the flex. Excited to see what the future has to bring
I can hear it already , what ? I broke my half inch ratchet the first time I used it. " Really ? What were you doing ?). I was just taking the lugs off of a dayton wheel. ( Wow that must have been hard , you must be really strong). Nah , I had a 8' cheater bar on it....😜
@@Shoptoolreviews thats awsome thanks for the reply . I bought a sent of matco ones years ago because they were the smallest I could find . Now this can be a option . I wonder if they sell head repair kits .
I wonder who is making all these Taiwanese hand tools for Dewalt, Milwaukee, etc. The biggest problem I see with all these new brand names besides availability, is getting them warrantied and wondering weather they will be making hand tools with their name on them in 5 - 10 yrs. That said these do look like a very nice ratchet, and for once it doesn't have that awful snap on style round handle grip.
Not really. Tests show all those fail at a lower torque rate than Milwaukee. The long term durability I'm not sure of but they are all lifetime warranty.
@@jameselam8263 their all within spitting distance of each other, and Tekton I think it's the strongest of the bunch even though the internals in all these Taiwan ratchets are basically the same. One test does not mean anything though in reality... Plus Milwaukee the Gearwrench and Carlyle will be more easily warrantied IMO... Every town has a Napa basically and more stores sell Gearwrench then Milwaukee... And Tekton well take a picture, boom new ratchet in 2 days.
@@dazamanday made in Taiwan is good, made in China is a no go for me and it's more of a values issue then quality, I try to make sure I give the CCP as little money as possible
I have 3 1/4 inch snap on ratchets and all of them are slipping and the local snap on dealer won’t come by my shop and warranty them because I don’t owe him any money

This makes me feel better about dropping 800 on the mechanics toolset from Milwaukee. Better than tooltruck isn't what i'd expect but I'll take it!
Thanks for watching.
Amazing news I always wanted more milwaukee hand tools
Those orings are going to be a game changer !!! They’re going to last much much longer
Love the extendeds !!! Stubbies look super practical !!! Great motivation and coverage !!!!
Glad you like them! Thanks for the kind words and for watching.
Looks to me that the stubby 3/8 mechanism can possibly fit in the 9 inch 1/4 drive body
I was wondering that myself. I hope the come out with a stuby flex 3/8 that is as short as the 1/4
Someone has already put the 3/8 into the 1/4 stubby
They all look great but that little stubby really takes the cake 👍

Man that ratchet was bending and didnt snap! I just bought me a bunch of these Milwaukee hand tools and love the feel so far!
I have a similar set up but with gearwrench and i love the extended length.
I see you with these frequent uploads let’s go!!!!!!!
🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍
Bro, how in the hell do I miss this video!!! These ratchets look awesome!
Those internals look almost verbatim to the Carlyle 90 tooth A models (the A models have T9 torx bits instead of a snap ring) with the three gaskets, direction selector retaining pin and the pawl design
I can't wait to see how milwaukee nails flex head ratchets or even roto headed ratchets
The o-rings are a great feature to see

Milwaukee bring out the flex heads and comfort grips!

Haha 😂 pus
Especially grip. When working with oils/grease. But they do look 🔥🔥
lol I jk was too easy couldn’t help it
@@rookiexreviews lol yeah I figured your joking, the weak guys are the guys that don’t work on anything 😂

Great Video Tim! BTW What are those yellow "grippy" gloves you wear? I've been wanting to find something new for in the shop.
Thank you. The gloves are Mechanix gloves and I LOVE them. But, with the COVID crud, you can't find them. Thanks for watching.
Walmart has them in the auto repair area of store.
Looks like some great ratchets. I think that stubby 1/4 would be very handy. Great review.
I think so too! It has already come into play in the shop. Very handy. Thanks for watching.
It would be nice of Milwaukee to offer a bundle deal for those of us who would buy all of the ratchets at once. I know that Milwaukee is listening but it’d be nice if they responded.
Imperial unit of measurement is completely based on Metric unit. Which means we should also completely switch to metric only
That 3/8 in the 1/4 body is cool.
Holy cow, that Isa very well built ratchet
400lbs of force on a 1/2" ratchet 💪💪👍👍👍
Take my money💵💵
Great vid 👌
Right on. Thanks for watching.
I've got to have that stubby.
That Stubby is AWESOME!! You'll buy it the first time you see it. Thanks for watching.
@@Shoptoolreviews could really have used the small guy for a crib just put together lol

Don't be sorry you bought the snap on ratchets, Milwaukee will never make a better ratchet then snap on
@@FusionBoost2.0 of course not, although I can’t complain too much because I got the 2 brand new ratchets on eBay for half price
@@_P0tat07_ you did well... My snap on and Mac ratchets are the best ones I own...

carlisle or gear wrench likely

Wish they had replacement plates and anvils for available. Lol
I would buy these if they had the push button release, I need to know for certain when I’m down inside something, the socket is not coming off
My question is how easily does the 3 inch stubby flip directions? I hate 1/4 inch drives because they always slip out into "neutral" on me.
Flex head Milwaukee please!! With maybe a comfort grip!! Would go right next to my Kobalt ;)
I hope they come out with a locking flex head, or atleast a flex head
Us too. Thanks for watching.

why does milwaukee rachets don't have grip ?
Always very good review
Thank you very much, we appreciate that. Thanks for watching.
THANK YOU FOR THE INFO BRO 👍🏼
No problem 👍. Thanks for watching.
when will these be available?
i love all chrome, cant stand plastic handles
Comfort grips are nice, but we typically grab the all-chrome handles as well. Thanks for watching.
Stubby 1/4" is gonna be a useful little tool. Looks a little bulky at the head tho
It's a very handy little guy. Thanks for watching.
I wish I liked the Milwaukee ratchets better
Now milwaukee just need flex head and they are in the ratchet game
We agree! Would love to see some flex-head ratchets and swivel sockets. Thanks for watching.
Is there anyone who does not have the Husky Magnetic Bowl?
Lol. I don't know, but they sure come in handy. Thanks for watching.
Does it look like you can gut the 3/8 and put in the 1/4 body?
That's a great question. We actually just did this and posted it on our IG channel (link below). Thanks for watching.

Comfort handles are ok, straight steel is better
Internals look just like SK's lp90 line
True looks so much like S&k. Especially with no soft grip👍

Time for a quality microphone my friend.
At that point just get a little palm ratchet.
Prices not tee bag at wall nottt teee bagg
LOL. I don't think I have ever grunted when using a cheater pipe.
And we even took some audio out of it. I think it was because the cheater bar was in my gut.
These definitely are not as good as Snap-on but for the money I bet you can’t complain!
400 hhhuunnnnnfffffs Isn’t bad at all.
Oh man, I see what you did. lol. I deserve it. I shouldn't have had that cheater bar in my gut. Thanks for watching.
