A Must Have Milwaukee Tool
So far this tool has exceeded even my high expectations. I've been eyeing Milwaukee's cordless ratchets since the original one came out, but could never really justify the cost. But when a series of equipment breakdowns left me with a bunch of repairs, I decided it was time. I am so glad I waited for this generation. The FUEL high speed is the best ratchet Milwaukee offers for my needs. It has the robustness of the original FUEL but with over twice the speed. The original has 55ft/lbs of torque with 200rpm. This high speed version gives 35ft/lbs of torque at a blistering 450rpm. Add to this the fact that it is more compact than the original, and its a no-brainer for me. The torque this unit has is more than adequate for me (I have a breaker bar for a reason!) and you can always use the ratchet manually to break loose a fastener. I personally see a cordless ratchet as a nut runner. It speeds up putting in and removing fasteners. The 450rpm really fit the bill, without sacrificing too much on torque. As a side note, the M12 batteries are incredible (so far). I used the ratchet for two whole days on one XC3.0 battery. Seriously?! I was expecting to be constantly charging the thing. It's amazing just how much this tool speeds up a job. I've had great success with every Milwaukee tool I've bought, and this is no exception.
