Milwaukee 2557-20 M12 Fuel 3/8" Ratchet (Bare Tool)

Bought the 1/4" drive and 3/8" drive ratchets a few months ago. Very pleased and extremely happy with purchase. I am a mobile diesel mechanic and had purchased quite a few of the NiCad battery tools years ago. I was very displeased with those tools, battery time, and always seemed to be purchasing new batteries to replace the old ones that didn't last. These ratchets have brushless motors and the batteries last a long time, only take about an hour to charge, are ruggedly built. Slim profile, plenty of torque for removing and tightening fasteners, have a built in light to illuminate where you trying to get the socket. They've take a few falls after rolling off loader tires or being dropped from the top of an engine. Nice to not to have to drag or manipulate an air hose into the tight spot behind an engine. I also purchased the right angle M12 drill for drilling out broken bolts behind the engine block and frame. That too, has performed very well!! I'll be buying more of these tools in the future!! July 7, 2019-Tools still going strong and performing awesome!! Nothing broken, plenty of drops, falls, and kicks while being used daily. I did purchase the M12 XC6.0 batteries and use those almost exclusively on the ratchets instead of the standard 2.0 M12 batteries. The 2.0 batteries are only used for the lights now, unless the big battery won't fit into a tight space on the ratchet. A well built and rugged tool for sure!! No regrets here and no problems...batteries or tool.

Love this ratchet. Works well for my jobs.

Ratchet itself looks good and in new condition. Box is damage and opened before as the sealed tape is already cut when received.

Estuve armando unas sillas gamer con tornillos hexagonales 15 y todo bien. El armado fue rápido y seguro ya que no excedes el torque. Sin embargo en el área automotriz, intente remover un tornillo 13 de múltiple se escape y el torque no fue suficiente. Apesar de ser Fuel, creo que carece de torque para trabajos pesados en automóviles.

This is an incredible tool. It is built really well, has proven to be very durable, and is the perfect size to fit into tight spaces. This make engine work a breeze, and it really excels in confined spaces. I used this this tool for everything from equipment uncrating, to electrical installations and automotive work. It’s a time saver, a wrist saver, and I highly recommend it. Batteries seem to last a long time in this thing as well!
