    I continue to grow my Milwaukee M12 and M18 tool bags and boxes. As a general handiman /home improvment hobbyist, around my home and cabin, Milwaukee has gotten me through 25-30 years labor saving tasks with reliable solid service. This tool is no exception. It is great for the quick little stuff that can be a PITA to get to. Whether in a small space or ackward reach it does the job. In the open it is a relief of strain and time. I find myself using this tool more every day. I have actually have gotten lazy about going for other manual and ratcheting tools. This tool is not for heavy duty use. Just guessing on 3/4 nuts or 3/8 bolts at under about 50 pounds torque, you will have to break them loose or finish tightening them with hand tools. Zipping any typical smaller stuff is easy work. Battery time is relative to the job but not bad overall, especially with the xc series batery. Never used it enough to kill a M12 battery in one use yet. One Milwaukee tool I advise against is the M12 little hackzall type thing… not enough poop, but the M18 circular saw is really strong and very handy for the small jobs. The Milwaukee M18 Vacuum is very handy … the wife steals it regularly .. only problem is the thing is deafening loud. I also really like the M12 driver, the one with the 1/4 bit chuck. This tool is extremely handy around the house and much more sustantial than less expensive versions by others. I probably use this M12 driver the most of all my Milwaukee toys. Milwaukee in general is well worth the little extra expense.11/4/2012—>Follow up… yep ratchet continues to be a handy, medium to light wieght, lazy man or senior, hand tool. Would like to add to my comment on the 6-1/2 M18 circular saw… great investment good tool. Had need to use it on 2 good sized outdoor projects. It’s a workhorse that is good on batteries, much better tool than expected. Used intermitantly for 2 projects, each 3-4 days long, for 4×8 5/8 OSB cuts and 2×4 and 2×6 cuts. Each project required only one fresh battery change during the 3-4 days for homeowner /handy man type work. Keep a sharp blade in it. Working without being on a cord tether is really getting to be fun.

    I am not a professional mechanic. I am cheap, however, and I do all of my own auto maintenance. I have Hondas, so it’s generally just scheduled stuff. I bought this bare tool because I already had an M12 battery system on something else, so it was cheap enough.I watch YouTube videos for inspiration before beginning any tough wrenching job. The mechanics on YouTube are all using these (or the expensive SnapOn impact equivalents). Why? Because they’re working flat rate and their time is money.Wait. Isn’t MY time worth money, too? Less wrenching time means more drinking time, right?The first job I did with this was a timing belt replacement on my Odyssey. If you’re going to jump in, you want the deep end, right? Although I was afraid that I should have bought the expensive extended version of this ratchet, the little tool did a great job. There was nothing that I couldn’t reach – most of the time, you’re using extensions and swivels, anyway.I was able to remove all of the applicable fasteners, replace the belt, water pump and idlers from the kit and then put everything back together without having to switch to my spare M12 battery. All the while watching that sweet little tool spin those bolts without worrying about my having to wave some manual ratchet back and forth a couple of zillion times. As the mechanical gods were smiling on me that day, nothing broke and everything went well. I caught myself smiling more than once – hardly ever using the collection of Anglo-Saxon Power Words generally heard from the garage when I’m in there.This tool is hefty enough to break bolts loose and also can put a bit of torque on them when operated by hand without the trigger. It wasn’t going to break the crank bolt loose or anything like that, but it did anything I would normally ask a 3/8 ratchet to do. It didn’t seem to get too dirty, so cleanup time was pretty easy.In short, if you’re going to be working on your car and you value your time and/or your knuckles. you should consider getting one of these. It makes things go much quicker and when the neighbors show up to ask what you’re doing, you look like a pro.

    This Ratchet is my husband’s favorite. He had another brand one and When it was not working, he showed his laptop with this on and asked me to order it for him. It Is an early birthday present. It came on time for him to finish his project. My husband is a very picky man, and if he loved this one, then this must be a great product. He keeps it In his red storage roller where he keeps his favorite tools. He has used it on his big Toyota truck and around the house. I saw him using it to add extra layer of chain links over the air windows on the basement walls so little animals with strong teeth would not be able to get through. It took a few minutes with this too. Husband always boasts about me buying him his tools to his friends and that makes me feel good.
