Overview

A ratcheting box end head does the turning on this Milwaukee, driven by a battery motor and fitted with a socket end. The body is alloy steel and plastic with a polished finish.

Powered ratcheting spares the hand repeated strokes on inch fasteners. The limitation is what the listing leaves out: no battery or charger is named, and the only included part is a combination wrench.

Who it's for

Repeated fastening on inch hardware, where the arm tires on a hand ratchet, is the use. Shoppers who need a ready kit with battery and charger, or a spark-safe tool, should look at other listings.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Powered ratcheting action
  • Box end head style
  • Inch sizing for SAE fasteners
Cons
  • Battery and charger not named
  • Not a non-sparking tool
  • Inch sizing only

Performance notes

The motor supplies the turning force and the ratchet mechanism lets the socket spin back without repositioning. Output depends on the battery charge, and the listing does not name the battery. Jaw capacity limits which fasteners fit.
