    Opinions needed from Milwaukee M12 Ratchet users

    New old guy from Western PA

    Hello! I belong to a few forums, including Detailing Forums, as well as El Camino Central (have a well-preserved '87 Camino as my fair-weather driver), and occasionally find links to this forum, so I decided to check it out and join in. A little bit of bio; I've been a gearhead since birth, as I...
