Good review. off topic where did you get the cf wrap on your side tray? I've had my ratchet for 3 years & still love it. Did warranty it last summer but Milwaukee was great & it took less than a week to get a new one. On that note be careful of the surrounding area when using it manually. I jammed the paddle into a bracket doing a brake job & it got stuck in the on position. I use it professionally with the 1.5 battery & have never charged it more than once a month. Just swapped on the 4.0 battet from my impact mostly so it will stand up but can't wait to see how long that lasts.

Just in case anyone is interested, the rubber handles on the side of the ratchet are not gasoline resistant. If contacted, they wipe right off. Obviously it's not smart to run a brushed tool in the vicinity of gasoline, but I left my ratchet on the floorboard of a lawn tractor overnight next to the removed carb, and the carb drained overnight unknowingly, leaving the ratchet in a puddle.

I really like it otherwise. The 3/8 M12 Fuel impact is a great companion to the ratchet, it's a beast for the size.

i got "bit" by it when it kicked back, and jammed my pinky into the tool cart rails as i was building it lol

I'm glad you mentioned that. I don't have one yet but some day I'm sure I'll break down and add them to my M12 collection. Working on lawnmowers it always seems like you put everything away for the night, everything dry and stable. Come in the next morning to a lake of gasoline through some magical action. I'll be extra cautious about what gets on the rubber.

Been "bit" also. A guy in my shop lost the rubber off his after an intake manifold job with various fluids on his hands. I guess that's his answer.
