    I was a small engine mechanic. I hammered a Milwaukee 3/8 ratchet daily. It was awesome. I was diagnosed with Kienbachs disease. The ratchet gave me the ability to continue do the work I loved up to the point where I couldn't pick the tool up anymore. I miss my old Milwaukee ratchet at my old employer. I am going to buy one of these so I can fix peoples lawn equipment as a community service. Small engine repair was the most rewarding job I ever had. I love picking up mowers on the side of the road, fixing them and giving them away. Normally doesn't cost hardly anything and their are plenty of people that need a mower. Plus it keeps good equipment out of the scrap yards and landfills.

    Thanks for the review. I had procurement purchase me the Milwaukee M12 3/8" ratchet for work and honestly, I cannot believe I lived so long without one. Makes installation and maintenance work so much easier. Though I do occasionally have to break the nut first with a manual ratchet/breaker bar, the ratchet just zips it off where an impact gun cannot reach.

    I love the videos, the tests simulate real-world conditions we run into all the time. Breaking loose by hand, spinning off partially seized or rusted fasteners, hot and cold conditions. I've been using the Milwaukee m12 brushed ratchet for six years now as a professional HD truck mechanic. Two years ago it gave me a burning smell but is still working to this day. I love its compact size with the 2.0ah battery. The rubber grip has swelled and fallen off but the tool keeps working. Some of the more powerful m12 tools like the right angle impact and the compact 3/8 impact really benefit from the 4.0 battery. True and fair comparisons have to have similar battery voltage and amp-hour ratings. The Milwaukee ratchet would have been more compact and given different numbers had the 2.0ah batteries been used. The price of the ratchet with two 2.0 batteries is also much cheaper giving it more value per dollar.

      Dude has a knack for picking tools we are actually considering. Think I'll wait longer on ratchet, ratcheting a bolt on/off is a non-issue 90% of the time if you take care of things and oil the threads before insertion. It's breaking them free that kills my arms and breaks my ratchets, so I'll wait for a good battery operated solution for that.

      we havent really compared torque as thats not really something we value for this specific tool. Its more spining on or off nuts and bolts when we have to take alot on or off of a motor we are repairing, particularly ones in tight spots. If we want high torque we pull out a real impact gun.
