Great item, great product very good price and arrived super fast, easy to use, highly recommended.

This is a essential tool for mechanics. It's surprisingly strong and fast to use. It solved my carpal tunnel issues.

I am a big milwalkee fan,I love there tools,I've found them to be well built as well as way above average in reliability and power.This is the 3rd M12 ratchet I have bought in the last 15 months,I really love them.the first 2 I was very happy with,I received the 1/4" version as a birthday gift first,then fell in love with it,and I bought the 3/8" version and quickly realized it was the same exact tool,and I wanted a little more power.So I bought the XC4.0 battery for the 3/8" version,and let me tell you,what a difference! The tool got about 25 percent stronger,I was very satisfied with it,and the large battery made it easy to see which one I was grabbing,as well as lasted 3-5 days on a charge easily.I was totally happy with that until 2 weeks ago,when I tried to tighten an alternator adjustment bolt with it and my hand got stuck between the handle/tool and the frame,it didn't kick out for about 2-3 seconds,usually it kicks off perfectly well before the motor stalls but not until it's grunted pretty good......this time it was way too long, I don't know what prevents the overload circuit f,rom kicking in,but this is what caused the failure,,smoke poured out the motor,and it was fried immediately,it hardly,worked after that,it ran very slow,and stunk so I sent it back to milkwalkee and put the big battery in the 1/4" version,after a few days it became apparent that I was going to break that tiny 1/4" drive shank if I kept using it as hard as I was,so I ordered this 3/8" version, the tool only to hold me until mine comes back,at which time I'd have an extra and could leave one at work and one home,because I had a spare battery,and 2 chargers,I just bought the tool only.It came in a few days ago and I was excited to have a new m12, I put the big 4.0XC battery on it and started using it...it became apparent immediately that this tool is either defective or milwalkee has adjusted the kick out point lower to lengthen tool life at the expense of power.This ratchet has much less power than my oldest one the 1/4" drive...and also the one I sent back..it kicks off as soon as it starts building power,I've used it about 5 minutes so far,I'm hesitant to use it because I may send it back,and I don't want to use it more if I'm doing that... it's clear this isn't the tool I fell in love with,and if this were my first one,I'd never bought a second or 3rd....one thing interesting is that with the small battery,the power seems about the same as the older tools,as soon as you put the big dc battery in this new one,it kicks off almost as soon as a load starts.Im anxiously awaiting th return of my other 3/8" drive M12, so I can see if it is gutless like thiamine or the power is back...if it's a dog,I'm returning this and selling the other,and buying a snap on 3/8" ,my brother has one,it's expensive at 350.00 but it's a powerhouse and very well built...way more power than these M12s but you expect that for th cost...I always felt these m12s were worth buying over the snap ons because you could buy 3 for price of 1, I'll update whe my first 3/8" is back,for now I'm on the fence with this 3/8" version....

Amazing tool that makes things go way faster when working on your car!

Great ratchet. I’m a diesel mechanic and use it on a daily basis without issues. I have dropped it, work with it in the rain, is full of grease, oil and it works like a champ. Had to replace the head gears once in the 7 years that I have own it. Works better with the higher amperage / capacity battery. Great reliability and affordable, contrary to the ones from the big brand that you have to sell your soul to afford.

The product was great, fast shipping...A+A+A+
