Milwaukee Electric Tool 2457-21 Cordless Ratchet Kit, 12 V, Li-Ion, 3/8" Ratchet" g Chuck, 250 RPM

I love this tool, works as it should. It's not an impact driver but it's great for tight spaces

Short review: Works great. Huge time saver. Long review: Great tool as are most Milwaukee power tools I have owned. This tool isn't going to do anything you can't already do with a normal ratchet or even a power drill with a 3/8 inch socket adapter, but man it is such a time saver. It is just handy to have this dedicated socket power tool. I thought I would just use this for working on cars, tractors, or other machinery. However, it is so handy, I have it in my general handyman tool tote with a small socket set. It saves so much time on all kinds of little projects. I just used it the other day to disassemble a bed frame that uses about 6 inch lag screws. It turned a 10-15 minute job into a 5 minute job. Zips those screws or nuts right out or off. Battery life seems good. It has a light on it that I do find handy sometimes. It is like a two stage trigger. Pull it a little and the light turns on without the tool running. Pull the trigger further and the tool runs. The tool seems to have good torque. It isn't going to break rusty or really tight bolts. It isn't an impact wrench. However, the tool is built to allow the user to use it like a ratchet to break loose the nut or tighten it at the end. I have found that it works fine for most nut/bolts I encounter, but obviously you have to get a regular ratchet to break the nuts loose sometimes. It seems plenty durable for the DIYer or farmer or similar use. I can't attest to how it would hold up in a professional setting. I also, can't say how it compares to an air ratchet as I have never owned one. I use this tool for DIY home use/handyman use/farm work/DIY mechanic work. It has held up well so far. The one negative is the price of Milwaukee power tools. They are good tools, but I think you probably pay extra for the brand name. Other cheaper brands usually work just fine. However, I try to stick to one or two brands so I don't have a bunch of different batteries and chargers. Bottom line is I find it handy and a durable tool for a DIY type of person. Not sure how it would hold up to every day professional use.

Excelente herramienta

cumple con el servicio por el cual la compre, algo grande pero funcional,

Purchased this M12 ratchet a couple of weeks ago, and used it for the first time last weekend, and I love it! I've been an Auto technician for 40 years and have always been oldschool, using pneumatic air tools for everything, but no longer, after using my brother's crappie Harbor Freight electric ratchet, I was on the fence about buying one because of the size and weight of the H.F. version of this tool, but I've known for years that you get what you pay for when it comes to buying automotive related tools! Not only is the M12 ratchet smaller and lighter than the competition, it's lower torque and faster rpm speed is actually an advantage, at 35 ft-lb max torque,( v.s. H.F.'S 65 ft-lb model) you're saved from the annoying knucklebuster cuts on your hands, but More importantly, you'll have less chance of snapping bolts while loosening or tightening, and no one enjoys either, Spins bolts out fast, loosed most of the ones I've encountered underhand so far, and best of all its quiet with no dirty air hose to drag around to scratch the paint work on your shiny ride. It comes with one lithium ion battery, a charger and a decent case that has velcro and elastic straps to keep your stuff secure, should you decide to transport the kit or accidentally pick it up while it's unzipped, the charger is high tech, and fast, even came with a bonus 3/8"to 1/4" reducer, and knockoff batteries ran and charged well in both, the only thing else I could add here is, this vendor appears to have the best price point as well, and I Internet surfed for Days looking for the best deals on this Kit, hopefully I helped your decision making process, thanks for hanging in there this far, Kurt
