Description

Choose the sub-compact ratchet with best-in-class power, speed and durability. The M12 Cordless 3/8" Lithium-Ion Ratchet is the ideal tool for auto mechanics, maintenance and repair professionals looking for maximum performance and productivity in a subcompact cordless tool. It utilizes a powerful 12-volt motor to produce up to 35 ft-lbs of torque and 250 RPM, giving users the power and speed of a pneumatic ratchet without the air hose. It is powered by the M12 REDLITHIUM. Battery Pack (sold separately), which delivers more work per charge and more work over pack life than the competitors, as well as best-in-class performance in extreme job site conditions. At just 10-3/4” long and 1.9 lbs, the ratchet is tool-belt portable, and features a 3/4" low-profile head design for work in the tightest of spaces and engine bays. The variable-speed metal trigger and reinforced steel housing provide maximum control and durability with any application.

    • Excellent tool
Tough and works without failing. I've had it for over a year now and it continues to work perfectly.

    • Well made tool
This is my second one of these. My grandson burned my last one out turning engine bolts. The bolts were too tight for the tool. I replaced it due to it being so handy. It turns bolts quickly and saves your wrists. Like any power tool, be mindful of its designed capabilities. It's well built and lasts for years. My last one was close to 6 years old with lots of use. If it's made by Milwaulkee, it's a good tool. ... show more

    • Solid, but does not have M2 batteries/charger.
Solid tool so far. Used it on a car project and came through. Does not come with M2 batteries/charger. Had to buy separately.

    • Handy little ratchet,but this one lacks torque
I am a big milwalkee fan,I love there tools,I've found them to be well built as well as way above average in reliability and power.This is the 3rd M12 ratchet I have bought in the last 15 months,I really love them.the first 2 I was very happy with,I received the 1/4" version as a birthday gift first,then fell in love with it,and I bought the 3/8" version and quickly realized it was the same exact tool,and I wanted a little more power.So I bought the XC4.0 battery for the 3/8" version,and let me tell you,what a difference! The tool got about 25 percent stronger,I was very satisfied with it,and the large battery made it easy to see which one I was grabbing,as well as lasted 3-5 days on a charge easily.I was totally happy with that until 2 weeks ago,when I tried to tighten an alternator adjustment bolt with it and my hand got stuck between the handle/tool and the frame,it didn't kick out for about 2-3 seconds,usually it kicks off perfectly well before the motor stalls but not until it's grunted pretty good......this time it was way too long, I don't know what prevents the overload circuit f,rom kicking in,but this is what caused the failure,,smoke poured out the motor,and it was fried immediately,it hardly,worked after that,it ran very slow,and stunk so I sent it back to milkwalkee and put the big battery in the 1/4" version,after a few days it became apparent that I was going to break that tiny 1/4" drive shank if I kept using it as hard as I was,so I ordered this 3/8" version, the tool only to hold me until mine comes back,at which time I'd have an extra and could leave one at work and one home,because I had a spare battery,and 2 chargers,I just bought the tool only.It came in a few days ago and I was excited to have a new m12, I put the big 4.0XC battery on it and started using it...it became apparent immediately that this tool is either defective or milwalkee has adjusted the kick out point lower to lengthen tool life at the expense of power.This ratchet has much less power than my oldest one the 1/4" drive...and also the one I sent back..it kicks off as soon as it starts building power,I've used it about 5 minutes so far,I'm hesitant to use it because I may send it back,and I don't want to use it more if I'm doing that... it's clear this isn't the tool I fell in love with,and if this were my first one,I'd never bought a second or 3rd....one thing interesting is that with the small battery,the power seems about the same as the older tools,as soon as you put the big dc battery in this new one,it kicks off almost as soon as a load starts.Im anxiously awaiting th return of my other 3/8" drive M12, so I can see if it is gutless like thiamine or the power is back...if it's a dog,I'm returning this and selling the other,and buying a snap on 3/8" ,my brother has one,it's expensive at 350.00 but it's a powerhouse and very well built...way more power than these M12s but you expect that for th cost...I always felt these m12s were worth buying over the snap ons because you could buy 3 for price of 1, I'll update whe my first 3/8" is back,for now I'm on the fence with this 3/8" version.... ... show more

    • A huge extension of my abilities as a handyman, 10/10
I have not owned this for long, so I cannot state it's longevity, but I can say that owning it the past 2 weeks and borrowing my boss's has made my life immensely easier as a handyman. Not only does the auto-ratchet itself gives a rest to your hands, if you need more than 36lbs of pressure you can use it as a handle and ratchet even further, and uses very little battery to operate. Definitely worth the 90 bucks I spent, already saving me both time and my reserves. ... show more
