Overview
A well rated compact cordless ratchet and screwdriver, a strong pick for anyone already on Milwaukee's M12 battery platform.
Milwaukee's M12 line targets compact cordless tools for tight spaces, and pairing a 3/8 inch ratchet drive with a screwdriver function covers fastening and quick socket work from one battery platform.
- 12V M12 battery platform
- 3/8" ratchet and screwdriver combo
- 250 RPM
Who it's for
Fits mechanics and technicians working in confined engine bays or equipment panels who want cordless torque without swapping tools. Less suited to heavy duty bolt removal where a higher torque impact tool does better.
Pros and cons
- Dual function ratchet and screwdriver in one tool
- 250 RPM for quick fastening
- Runs on the compact M12 battery platform
- 12 volt power limits torque versus larger cordless ratchets
- 6.26 pounds is heavier than a manual ratchet
