- Have you ever dreamt of buying every single tool to figure out which ones you'll like using the most? Me too! So that's exactly what I did. It's time to start unboxing and going through the massive pile of Milwaukee tools. I'm going to break this up into sections and try to compare like to like as much as possible. Milwaukee makes many different kinds, so we're going to unbox and go through all of them.

![1/4" or 3/8" Cordless Ratchet? Milwaukee 2566 M12 FUEL High Speed Ratchet Review [2567]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/IMcQU0wZEEA/mqdefault.jpg)
They made the last segment of the torque wrench manual because it allows you to have more control on the torque - especially for engine builders.
Also the torque wrench was created to speed up the torquing procedure.normally you’d use two tools - ratchet and finish it with the torque wrench. Now you can zip the nut on and finish the torque it in one go - no wasting time.
The torque wrench is not designed for automotive since it doesn’t have an angle feature. It’s meant for large installation electrical contractors actually.
Heel Toe I’ve used it many times to build my engines, granted it doesn’t have a angle setting but that doesnt mean you can’t angle the old fashion way.
Yes correct. If you understand the point of the tool it makes since.
Fatfreemilk if I’m spending that much on a torque wrench I’m getting a snap on.
@@banannaninja Why not save money, and get the same product by purchasing the CDI Torque equivalent?
“Pretty spicy from a weight perspective...” is my new favorite Matt quote, lol.
I’ve known a few females over the years that you could describe in such a way...
I have all 3 ratchets , the 3/8 ratchet gives you the best middle ground it terms of head strength and size (and u can still use adapters)- this is important because most people in the trade also use them to break up to 16mm nuts loose. I have broken many 1/4s from that. But my 3/8 loves the abuse.
This is awesome Matt!
I’m working as a strategic purchaser and just about to sign a contract which will complement our assortment with the Milwaukee product line.
I really like your unboxings because they give me an honest ”first impression” of each tool. Combined with the hard facts from our local Milwaukee sales rep here in Sweden, this gives me clear picture of whats hot and what’s not. :)
Keep up your aweseome job and I’m looking forward to the M18 line coming up!
Who is crazier you for making these videos or me for sitting down and watching 3 1/2 hours straight of it🤣🤣
We use the 3/8' ratchets to work on home standby generators. We dont use the fuels because the head size prevents use in most tight spots and thats really where they are worth their weight in gold. We got tons of use out of them with proper use. If you start torquing bolts with them you may snap a head off. Just a thought. Great tools though, all of the ratchets. If i had to have one i would go with the 3/8" non fuel model.
Agreed and what I currently own.
Awhh hello yeah same man
yes I agree too, Real world use case ( Greyhound maintenance shop Seattle (the Big dog ), body shop owner, / Service repair) the guys in the maintenance shop use all three non-fuel they fit better. Family body shop( Dad retire close the shop) but he like the fuel 3/8 , after 52 yr In the business he still ask for the air hose sometime. I go back-and-forth , I will get the 1/4 Fuel long neck with a 3/8 Adapter .Side note ,I’ve seen Ryobi impact driver in the maintenance shop right next to earthquakes and Snap on, Wow that green stands-out
The torque wrenches make sense if you are installing wheels or similar objects all day long and need an all-in-one too saving time and effort. For the weekend warrior installing a set of wheels once every few months I agree - not necessary.
As a mechanic that does this professionally. It's also not worth it as a regular torque wrench from snap-on is half the price. Most of us use an impact to drive the nut down and then use the torque wrench to finish
This is the episode i've been waiting for! I bought my first ratchet about a year ago and right after that they released long neck versions. So interesting to see your opionion on those short vs long necks. GOOD JOB MATT!
1/4 and 3/8 standard length fuel, 1/4 long neck fuel (with 3/8>1/4 reducer when needed but BE CAREFUL - it is still a tiny anvil) for pro use or if you just want brushless. I use them everyday no issues.
Plenty of guys still use the standard 1/4 and 3/8 in the shop and they still take a beating and provide the obvious slightly more compact size.
Those torque wrenches are near useless for automotive especially if you have torque-angle fasteners (ie 22lb-ft + 90° + 90° head bolts etc). They’re more high volume assembly line type work but definitely not cost effective.
Angle drills if you’re chasing after a broken bolt in the side of the engine, fender well or other confined space.
Also to note: using the higher XC 4+ or CP 3.0 batteries will INCREASE tool speed and torque on everything you’ve unboxed so far. Basically just pushing it with a higher AH/WH battery = more juice 🔋
Yes, on the torque ratchet you still have to use force to reach higher torque. But if you try lower torque like 25 the battery power could reach it. I do a lot of cylinder head jobs and this tool would be awesome. Job job on this new series and most of all you are showing that dreams can come true.
See's ratchet in the description... you have my attention Sir!
The non-fuel ratchets size is a huge asset. If you only want 2 get 3/8 non fuel and 1/2 fuel.
May I suggest:
1> Place a grid scale on the table to give an idea of the real size of the tool. [coke can, dollar bill]
2> Whenever possible, a video dedicated to which set of tips [?] to chose for American, Euro and Japanese cars as the nuts and bolts have a different scale [metric/imperial].
Here in the US all of our Anvils are imperial (1/4, 3/8, 1/2 inch) and the the socket/bit the user attaches is what let's one swap between metric/imperial fasteners & hardware
Loving the "rawness", if you will, of these videos. Really enjoying the unboxing's and product breakdown.
This series is great. Looking forward to the impact unboxing!
I have the 3/8 electric rachet non fuel and I like it for the smaller head. It does not hold as much torque but it fits into more places. You can always tighten it more by hand.
Totally agreed. I prefer the non fuel ratchets because of the smaller head and ive seen the 3/8 fuel ratchet snap 14mm bolts. I look at the ratchets as more of a time saver than a job doer. Loosen and tighten with the electric ratchet. Finish with a hand ratchet
I agree, but I ended up with both. for the bigger jobs and time saver. I do wonder if the fuel 1/4 would replace the non fuel 3/8 on the daily since it's almost the same size. but not enough to spend the money yet. sadly I don't think it's something a reviewer can answer, would need to pull the trigger and spend a week with it to know. maybe if my 3/8 non fuel dies at some point. besides the motor I burnt out once haha. but it was only 17$ to replace.
I own the 3/8 fuel ratchet (non brushless) and it's fantastic. I've used it to work on my wife's car and putting together my daughter's play set and it made things very convenient. Milwaukee makes killer tools and I love the M12 line.
I have both the 3/8" ratchet in regular and fuel, and surprisingly I use the regular more than the fuel. I use the regular to take off interior bolts. I've cracked a few plastic pieces with the fuel. If the Regular ratchet doesn't torque enough using the trigger, I will just manually tighten.
Love these videos keep it coming 👌🏽
To be honest i thought the videos were going to suck when you said you werent going to test them, etc. Now i realize you are covering things that no one else has covered. The difference between each model that is in the line. And side by side. Takes the confusion out of which is what when they all look almost the same. The one thing that does change which to buy is the crazy sales and promotions that come on some. Completely changes what makes sense when picking one out. Especially like the black friday type deals
I have the fuel 1/2" and 3/8" ratchets, 1/2" impact and the 1/4" stubby impact love them all.
I think all the electric torque wrenches are like that, it tightens to a point then you have to finish by hand, it's neat but not sure I'd spend the coin on it.
The cordless ratchet with digital torque wrench is a nice gimmick. If only they added an angle meter like any Snap-On digital torque wrench has, they’d have hit a home run.
I have the 3/8 extended ratchet and it’s strong as heck. But the issue is I keep finding that the head is huge! Doing header bolts or removing oil pan bolts and wish I would’ve bought the 1/4 in extended. 3/8 extended is perfect doing caliper bolts and rotors stuff more spacious. Edit: sold the 3/8 extended reach ratchet as a tool only on marketplace, sad day but the mechanic who got it was definitely happy he had a deal. If I don’t win I’ll still end up buying one this just helps my chances more! Thanks for everything you do rustbelt keep up the grind 💪🏼
Matt, if you could only have one...then you should do what I did and go with the 1/2”. You can then step down with adapters to 1/4” and 3/8”. If you go with the 1/4” you’re going to be sacrificing torque if you were to step up to drive a 3/8” or 1/2”. It’s easier to step down, then it is to step up...because you can’t.
Thanks for the info I was looking into getting the ratchets but was not sure if should get the normal or the fuel. Now i have another choice long or short oh boy!
@Obsessed Garage Does Milwaukee consider it improper to use one of the powered ratchets to break a nut/bolt loose manually if the ratchet does not have enough torque to break it loose with the motor.
I have the non fuel 3/8 ratchet, and standard 3/8 fuel ratchet. I like both, the non fuel has a smaller head which can fit in tighter spaces and it runs faster.
If you want the digital torque display without the whole bulky ratcheting electric motor stuff, you should honestly buy a Snap On digital torque wrench. It does angles too. It's a regular hand wrench with a the digital torque reading with presets and all. It's cheaper than the milwaukee ones too. The thing is so satisfying compared to a regular click-style torque wrench and you're not turning it a hundred times to get to your torque spec.
I hated the Snap-ons. I had the 3/8" and 1/2". I sold them.
The right angle drill is good for a carpenter that builds and or installs cabinets because of space.
Normally you have to use two tools so you dont break the calibration of the torque wrench. So this tool one saves an extra step, time and money. I wonder if it can break lug nuts off a wheel to take off
I have that M18 Fuel 3/8" long neck and the M18 1/2" impact driver and these two tools have made working on my 2008 IS-F and my wife's 2008 IS250 so much easier and much more enjoyable.
I started using the 3/8" M12 ratchet last week. It's strength is saving time on lesser tasks. Breaking capability is fairly low, but that's what I expected from a non-impact tool with a small battery and lower voltage.
I think one key does more than security. For example if you're driving 3" deck screws you put a setting in and it gives you the optimal torque etc
Excellent video Matt, I love the level of detail you go into which nobody else does full stop, I know you are going to do reviews but from your experience to date can you advise which impact driver would you recommend for removing car wheel lug nuts? I want something for home use that’s up to the task for occasional use. Thanks. The one you tested on your BMW seemed very expensive for what it is considering you still need to manually torque as you would anyway with a manual torque wrench. Seem a bit of an expensive gimmick.
I have the regular 3/8 fuel. I love it.
Hey Matt, thanks for doing this I’ve had my eye on the Milwaukee line for a while as far as the ratchets go I could narrow it down to just two the half inch kit and the tool only 3/8 long neck and adapt from there as I’m pretty sure I need that maximum torque spec of the half inch. every week without fail I have to remove and re-tighten three fairly long fine thread bolt(A maintenance thing) having to fire up the compressor for that is getting a little old and doing it by hand is out of the question so this just might be the answer have a good one🇺🇸👍
the ratchet tq isn't that big of deal, short of bad threads that are hard to unscrew. I use both the brushed and brushless 3/8 daily at work, and the only real advantage of the brushless is its a beefier over all, so you can pull on it hard as you want to break loose or tighten bolts, my non fuel feels like I could break it, so I used to pop big stuff loose with a normal ratchet and then run them out with the cordless. so as long as the head fits I reach for the cordless now, but I do find the smaller head of the brushed is needed often as wrll. if you gotta break something lose that's more than say 30-50 ft lbs, go with the fuel one. motor tq isn't really that big a deal.
i don't have it, but the 1/4in brushless could take the place of the brushed 3/8 if you have the correct size sockets for the 1/4. could be handy. I just already had the brushed 3/8 since they first came out.
The ratcheting torque wrench is pretty cool. I would by it if it was priced similarly to a regular torque wrench. But it's not. Craftsman torque wrench is less than $150 and I'm gonna have a impact wrench already.
FYI the torque wrench ratchet is more of a electricians tool than a mechanics because the accuracy of the toque wrench isn't there. It's more so designed for torquing down terminal lugs for electrical panel makeup.
‼️‼️ My weekend Binge ‼️‼️
No 3
🙏❤️ Love Scotland ❤️🙏
After owning the Fuel ratchets for awhile now I can say that I like the Non Fuel models much more. The speed is quicker and they also feel better in the hand. The Milwaukee M12 line might just be the best Automotive tool line out there. There are so many tools that really do make working on cars much easier.
You can use the ratchet just like a air ratchet. You snug it with the power and then torque it by using it just like a standard ratchet. You don't need to switch to a mechanical ratchet. Also you can brake loose bolts and nuts. Then use the power to remove fast.
Please purchase the full line of Milwaukee Packout accessories and create custom foam inserts for the tools you plan on selling.
you the man man excellent!
Will the torque wrench top torquing after the setting? Or do you have to manually stop when the green light shows up?
AvE gives a good comparison between the Fuel and non-Fuel ratchets.
Ratchets are for speed, not torque.
Also, brushless doesn't guarantee reliability. Brushless motors require a (sometimes fragile)driver board.
I'm getting anxiety watching this wanting to buy all things Milwaukee.....there gose my check
I feel your pain😂😂
I bought my first Milwaukee M12 tools a few weeks ago which was the Hammer drill and Impact driver combo. I now own those along with the 1/2 stubby impact, sawzall, and 3/8 ratchet. These tools are like crack lol.
I like what your doing with the Milwaukee and sonic tools, im just starting to buy tools but the amount of options on these is confusing. I don’t think we get sonic tools in uk but I’ve always liked the Milwaukee battery tools over other brands
Og they just came out with the fuel right angle impact. You have to try it, it’s a beast
Yep, they are on my next shipment.
@@ObsessedGarage I'm about to do a review video on mine right now! Such a rad tool! Cant wait to use it.
Oof. That torque wrench is cool but I don't think I could ever justify $750. Definitely like the fact that the 1/4" Fuel has a smaller head but would much prefer it in 3/8".
wow .. big difference between the 2 types of ratchets .
I have the less expensive one... Now I want the better one :)
If they made a fuel version of the right angle impact driver that would be awesome
Great concept on the torque wrench but... like you said you still have to put the weight behind it still.
I have the half inch and the 3/8 long neck. The long neck ismy favourite. I would hardly ever use the 1/4 inch as Im a truck mechanic. I wish they made a 1/2 longneck. The torque wrenches would be handy for building engines as you can spin the bolts up and torque the last stage
I would be interested in a curated collection, "one click" package with the tools, a selection of batteries, and a "good" charger to go with it. It would save all the "extra" stuff that you just don't need if you are building out a toolset. If I would buy 5 ratchets, I don't need 5 chargers and 8 batteries and 5 "bags" most of that is just going to go in the trash or be lost.
That is the plan!
The 3/8" ratchet will change your life. Huge time saver.
Standard or long neck?
Look at the price of digital torque wrenches... And if you think about exactly what a torque spec is and why we use them... Its genius that it runs up to the spec and lets you use your own muscle to precisely torque something. I will likely end up with both at some point.
Whewwwww more tools!!!!!
Why do I suddenly have the urge to add to my Milwaukee cordless tool selection
Definitely not being them are particularly mechanics tools you would want all three short one before you would even get the long one. Something that long is kinda hard to use. I have both the normal 1/4 and 3/8 they are a dream.
Also you could make a series with a split window showing you and Bryce assembling one of those Ikea cabinets - that comes in one thousand pieces - with manual and power tools and compare how long it takes to do the task.
My point is, without power tools sometimes you can't finish a task in the - planned - dedicated time and will leave the job undone, incomplete and with parts scattered around, ready to disappear.
I've got the corded version of the right angle drill. It has become one of my most used tools! Gets into places that other drills can't.
I would like the torque wrench more if it had a torque angle built into it like snap on does.
You gotta check out the new right angle impact ratchet, been eyeing one.
This should be here this week.
I would say if you could only have one it would MOST DEFINITELY be the 3/8 fuel ratchet. Love mine.
Wont we want, like i was wondering yesterday, the M18 fuel version of these???
the extended reach ratchets are the way to go
I think most of the Fuels are a go. The rest doesn’t seem as usable or as stout
Make sure to get the silicone head covers! That is my only regret. I have jacked up my ratchets and high torque impact wrench without the boot. Big mistake.
I feel that the 1/2 torque wrench one is the play but... that $$$ is what makes you double think
Man, you can use those Milwaukee [plastic] billet cabinets as gun lockers. 🔐
I like the video but i wish you would open the older non fuel tools first if the point is to decide which tools people should buy you should show the older options first and move up to the newer fuel tool. Going fuel brushed then long neck on the ratchets was kind of anoying this would show the progression of the tools and then compare and break down what the differences are i have a feeling that none of the tools that have a fuel version are going to be beaten by the brushed version like when you get into impacts the older fuel versions are barely stronger then what they now consider mid torque so the question becomes if you need 1400 ft lbs being more cronological in release would help the viewer to understand updates to tools
Know this video has some time on it. I am not a mechanic by trade but an enthuziast and I do enjoy working on my own vehicles. I personally own alot of M12 tools and do plan to get into the 18 soon. but for automotive purposes or work my top 4 and I use is the Long Neck 3/8 ratchet, the Stubby 3/8 impact gun, and the right angle 3/8 impact, M18 1/2 impact(great for lug nuts) . I won't lie I was sort of confused when I bought them myself and thought I could just zip on and off but honestly their only made to do that after it's broke loose and where the stubby or right angled impacts come in. As for the Digital Torque I am not familiar with the one key but do wonder if you have a job with a bunch of bolt that need specific tourqe I wonder if that tool can provide the feed back to the computer of how many were torqued and at what spec. I have been told with some of the yellow tools they have a feature on some that keep a memory like a crimping tool. As for me I use an analog torque ratchet but their are some good digital ones that will fit the purpose and not be $700 gadget with things most won't need but if you get a onekey I do believe if battery is in if stolen you can lock the tool remotely and it be a dead tool and only you can unlock it, which honestly could be a good feature say you have a customer with kids they can lock out tools like say a saw. I don't know all specifics of one key but know it has some neat features
I personally think their are some tools in every brand that overlap and it will honestly come down to application of the end user. Like me personally I need a cordless circ saw but don't need the worm drive as well but in same situation I have a m12 drill being compact and lighter I often grab that before my 18v job depending. As for making your own set I think a master collection is neat but I would be cautious with above and have the duplicate tools as options because you can save end user money and if you came to me and said I have my collection it's 32pc set they make 45pcs but with my set you can do most jobs but if you want all we can do that.
Also think you mentioned in a video about being cautious about removing wheel lugs because of potential damage, they do make deep well sockets for lugs that have coatings to protect wheels forget the brand
Precio de ratcher 3/8 M12
1/4 to 3/8 adapter? Or buy 3/8 and use 1/4 adapter?
He’s gonna have more batteries then most contracting companies
The torque wrench is ideal for electricians or engine builders constantly needing to run bolts tight and then torque to spec all in one motion. Not necessary for weekend warriors
I have found that the ratchets it's pretty useless I mean in a few applications they may come in handy but not for me I work on the exterior of vehicles in my shop and I just find it much easier to grab my makita xdt16 and zip anything small I need to off without a problem would be a waste of money for me
Hmm, I don't know about these, I don't really see the use of these.. the angled drills, i won't have any use for these, since i can use the drills/drivers in the previous videos and the hard to reach spots i never came across really. Well, the ratchets seem a bit useful, but no need to have a short and long neck in different sizes? well besides as you mentioned to look at and then use the manual ratchet?
Well for wheel bolts, but better an impact driver and/ or just a digital Torque wrench I would say. Wow look at that thing (Digital Toque wrench) : D, but $750 is to much, i expect it to torque to spec without manual labor though, otherwise, i don't see myself use it really, cos it doesn't really add anything, does it? I guess the regular ratchets have the same?
Well if you can afford them, buy all 3 Fuel ratchets long and short neck. However, do you really use and need any of these??? I dont think so.. Maybe one longneck fuel ratchet is all i would get, but it won't be on the top off my list. But great video again Matt!!! again a 👍
I got really excited about the torque wrench until I saw the demo... push one button and have it torque the wheel for you? Maybe I could justify the price. But $1000 for a digital torque wrench... not so sure. I’ll use my impact to start the nut and finish with a mechanical wrench.
I guess it makes sense now that we think about it. There is no way a 12V wrench could apply the torque we needed.
Did you buy the digital levels they offer? Trust me you want that 1/2 torque wrench go tool only worth the cost to me.
I'll be digging into them later on.
Matt, I know your frustration with the ratcheting torque wrench. I have the OG solution. FEIN Power Tools have a range called Accutec. You set the torque exactly to what you need, then click the trigger once. You can set different torque levels for different situations with a hit of a button. Definitely worth a look.
fein.com/en_us/tools/drilling-screwdriving/accutec-programmable-screwdrivers/asw-18-18-pc-71127060090/
i prefer the non-fuel 3/8 ratchet over the fuel version, the head is much smaller and easyer to get into tight places
Those torque wrenches were not designed for mechanics. They were designed for electricians that have to torque down connections in the electrical box in commercial applications. Milwaukee is working on a torque wrench that is made for mechanics they would go up to a higher torque say 250 or 300 150 foot pounds is not enough for a mechanic so it would not warrant the price tag for a mechanic.
Yes!.... Aaawwwwwuh!
How could it possibly deliver 200Nm when the non torque meter one is 85
You should make different packages of tools. For mechanics, detailers, carpenters, ect.
How many videos until he stops even opening the non-Fuel versions 😂
Your better off supplying the snap on torque wrenches.
ok now I have no choice but switch from dewalt to milwaukee........... :)
For automotive, everything stubby and long neck.
BTW torque means nothing for the ratchets. The torque is provided by the human.
If Matt wants to learn more, go watch some AvE.
Precio? Pistola de impacto 1/2 M18
If AvE doing BOLTR is one end of the spectrum, we've certainly found something to bookend it on the other side. TIME!
Im a professional mechanic working almost from 10 years
I love milwaukee tools
But not ratchet because new ratchet head is too big
Struggle to work on tight place bulky and not comfortable to use because can't grip the ratchet because its too big
Even for me I have big hands I wear xl latex gloves
And under load when you try to break nut/bolt ratchet body bend slightly
I have to use ratchet and other tool all day so not comfortable for me.
Nice, maybe first?
i don't think you gave the 3/8 non fuel justice. i prefer it over the big bulky fuel stuff. tool only around 100 dollars. a battery ratchet isn't an everyday item. you'd be better off buying all tool only and getting 2 or 3 dual chargers. buy every kit with that lousy m12 only charger is for the birds.
I hope I use the Fuel version more. I've had the regular one for 5 years or so, and I never reach for it.
@@ObsessedGarage initial reaction to this video is you didn't seem as impressed in products. as in they don't fit your spec
We want SI content!!!!
It's up in Boston for the month getting the stereo done, so it will be a little while before more videos on it.
Obsessed Garage awesome!
too much money for torque wrench with such low range. plus it looks to bulky. these digital wrench are going crazy
If you're going to throw them out, I would be more than happy to take those cases off your hands.
When do you plan on selling Milwaukee products on Obsessed Garage website?
Lol which crazy person would buy a milwaukee torque wrench for that much when you can get one of the best torque wrenches in the world from snap on for less
