Overview

Turning small fasteners in cramped engine bays and under dashboards is the job of this Milwaukee cordless ratchet. It has a fixed ratchet head, a socket end and a powder coated metal body with rubber.

A modest torque and a low weight make it comfortable for long sessions on small bolts. The limitation is that it is not a heavy-duty wrench, and the listing names neither the battery nor the drive style.

Who it's for

Automotive and equipment work with small inch-size fasteners suits a light ratchet. Seized bolts or large sizes call for an impact wrench.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Light for its length
  • Fixed head for control
  • Powder coated body
  • Rubber grip areas
Cons
  • Battery platform not named
  • Modest torque rating
  • Not marked non sparking

Performance notes

The motor spins the ratchet head so small bolts run down fast, and the head is fixed rather than flexing. Torque is modest, so tight fasteners need a breaker bar first.
