If you are a mechanic you will love this wrench.

[@UltimateToolReviews]

It's an awesome tool!

[@hobuttgarage]

Got the 12v a long while ago, like it so much got another and the 18v last year at home depot black friday deal days. Don't use em everyday but the original one I got I use hard when I do. Really like it, treat it as a nut runner n not an impact and never have an issue. I keep one in 1/4 and one in 3/8 but love the swappable anvil.

Picked up one a few weeks ago myself. Really helps as a mechanic.

Nice, how is it holding up?

they should have on board storage for the other anvil, maybe by the battery compartment?

[@davidgonzales9591]

I know it's pretty nice but I wish it had an on board housing to store the other size. For the once in a blue moon when I need the 1/4 inch I am positive I am gonna ask where the hell did I put it 😭💦

The head/gears went out after a month of daily use

[@jarrod1687]

Damn that sucks

[@PistonHonda87]

I own a 12v. Makita needs to make about 50 more ratchets like Milwaukee. Long reach. Smaller heads, ones with higher torque, etc.
Would love to see just a solid anvil with a standard switch and one with a battery that went on perpendicular to the ratchet.

[@UltimateToolReviews]

Great point!

[@douglasdever6134]

Testing of this ratchet shows it does not have decent breakaway torque. Not applied torque, that is not important since a torque wrench should be used; but if using to remove a bolt/nut you want some decent breakaway torque. Milwaukee or Dewalt is the way to go....

milwaukee m12 pretty awesome

It sure is. I have both but I prefer this Makita more for most jobs.
