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

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.

This is by far the best tool I have ever purchased. I bought it to disassemble my large plastic garden shed but in the short time that I have purchased it, I have used it also to assemble my outdoor furniture, to repair a rusty wheel on my floor jack, to tighten clamps on my pool filter, etc. This is now my #1 go to tool. It comes with its own battery and charger. And speaking of the battery, it is a nice slim rechargeable battery. Some competitors batteries are large and bulky. I was a bit concerned that it was only 12 volt and not 20 volt but it is very strong and it did not need recharging once in the 4 hours that it took me to disassemble the shed. I wish that I bought this tool years ago.

Excelente herramienta

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

My first Milwaukee tool. Very impressed. I've bought a few other ratchets cuz I was looking for a small sized tool for light work/jobs. This ratchet is perfect and i should have bought this long ago. Highly recommend this tool for anyone who is looking a small/midsize but still very powerful ratchet. Note: This is not mid entry level toll. This is a pro tool that can be uses for years.
