Milwaukee 3/8 ratchet

[richfinn]

I'm looking at 2 versions, not interested in the long necks

Fuel: this is brushless/impacting but bulky looking

Normal: is this impacting?? It kind of looks smaller and more manouverable??

Whats the crack??

Pro and Cons??

I just found the answers I was looking for in the "Makita cordless Ratchet" thread but thanks anyway

BTW, the GJ search function ***** worse than you do

I went non fuel. it has plenty of power. i did non fuel because the head is MUCH smaller.

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you

Is the non fuel version impacting?

Neither ratchets are impacting. They do make a right angle impact though

Ahh Ok, must be a badly worded advert, I have got a reactionless air ratchet that impacts

I need a cordless ratchet, any other good brands??

It doesn impact, but its got plenty of power to turn bolts off. I bought the 1/4 and 3/8 ratchets. I use them like the snap on power ratchets-loosen with the ratchet them hit the power to turn quickly off or on. About my only complain is the selector is rather tough to move and sorta tiny to grab. but it doesnt get in the way.

Interesting. Advanced search "Milwaukee Ratchet" in titles only turned up 4 pages of results. If i was able to find that info in 5 seconds and **** so back, i can only imagine how you must feel. Sometimes you have to learn how to use thr tools at hand I guess.

Thanks Jon for your informative replies on Milwaukee 3/8 ratchets, I did get all the info I was looking for without having to read any of your posts, thanks to the helpful generous GJ members who replied

I can only imagine how that makes you feel (deeply enraged and overlooked??)

Next time, I will definitely bear you in mind

Cheers

This thread should be titled "How a thread goes south in 10 posts or less".......

bottom line, just get it.
Fuel is probably wasted technology in this instance, the regular version is a very good tool.
I recall paying $89 for the bare tool a few yrs back.

I believe they came out with an impact angle driver recently.
Its a tad large .

Yep, I hate "cyber-bullies", no tolerance for that weak sh*t

Not cyber bullying by any means.

For future reference using the advanced search option or google both yield excellent results for GJ. I love doing research and show my appreciation for all those whom have taken the time to write out detailed and thoughtful responses by searching and reading up on thr topics. There is a wealth of knowledge here, and unless its a very new product or a very oddball product, it has most likely been brought up on GJ.

Hi Rich, I recently ordered the M12 3/8" Ratchet 'Auto Kit'--- w/2 batteries, LED Worklight & Auto Voltage/Continuity Tester, Model# 2457-21NTE ---(for $51 off reg price w/free shipping)---so actually the same, or no more than $10 abv the avg price (everywhere I checked) for just the single M12 3/8" Ratchet. So you may wish to check that pckg out as well. It appeared to be one of the best deals, as I realised there were so many online pricing variables. Best wishes in finding what you're looking for.

Oddly, there's a place in China—called acetools-supplies.com—selling the same kit for $66.42 ! Approx $120 lees than what our U.S. Northern Tool is selling it for. Though I've never heard of them before, so have no idea if they're reputable.

$199 @ Northern Tool ( -$20 w/code, if code works, if not, backspace and keep trying code ):
