The best thing about the insider is that you can have the forward reverse switch on the socket side so if you accidentally loosen something until your ratchet gets stuck you can just switch it to tighten and pull out your ratchet.

I placed my preorder through Acme. I probably won’t have too many uses for the pass through but for the extended reach, low profile sockets, and exchangeable anvils, it saves me from buying multiple tools. I needed an extended reach to compliment my high speed.

They do also sell a 1/2 anvil for this as well, I do think they should have included a slight hollow extension to this like the harbor freight manual pass through ratchet set has, either way I'm ALL in on the idea and I'm super excited about them diving further down the mechanic line and offering more and more products!

I bought it last week and was very impressed

Ratchet torque is a necessity.. not for breaking bolts however it's to power through stubborn fasterners and keep turning whether dealing with dirty , rusted greasy fasterners if you spend $300 on power Ratchet and it stall everytime you power it.. now u have to racket the nut or bolt all the way off manually defeats the purpose of having a powered racket to begin with 😎 a bonus of a torqueyer racket vs high speed is for use with taps holes cleaning threads

THIS! It’s running out those rusty fasteners or lock nuts is where powered ratchets need the torque. I couldn’t care less about a ratchet’s breakaway torque. I have the standard M12 1/4 and 3/8 ratchets, which are good but not overly strong. I have the 1/2” Fuel and it’s got great torque for suspension work, but it’s bulky. This insider looks great but it’s $$$.

Looks interesting. The sockets appear to be laser etched. I wish the sizes would be recessed and painted like their other impact sockets. I love those. Thanks for sharing!

Been waiting for you to get your hands on this

I just switched all my tools to m12 stuff and can't wait to add this as a mechanic

nice demo, great tool. I have the standard rachet so I'm glad I held off the extended because this one with more power and pass thru is way better then the standard extended rachet.

I got one of these as a gift yesterday. Also with an extra battery the 5.0 one.

🔴 ok so its not some new invention but the fact that its Milwaukee and battery powered means it will replace my other extended ratchets. I might just sell my skil and extended ryobi and extended M12 ratchets because this replaces those. Sure i may never actually need the pass thru but when im using it and it just so happens to come in handy it'll pay for itself on the spot.

The most beautiful thing about the reversible socket other than the paddle being out of the way is how many times have you backed out a fastener and got in a bind and can't put it back forward cause the direction selector is against the body or frame if it is reversed you can still change the direction. Don't know if milwaukee thought about that but I did

Nice! Thanks!

Great review, finally got mine. It definitely helps in the engine bay! I saw the question asked several times about what size the ratchet head is. It's a 14mm. Since all the sockets are the same on the backside and the backside fits into the head; I checked different sizes until I got a fit between 14mm frontside and the back of any other socket. Follow up question: what 6 point style pass thru sockets would also fit in this ratchet knowing that it takes 6 point 14mm.

I reall wish Milwaukee would make kits that didnt come with a charger. I have so many M12 and M18 chargers which are brand new.

Mmm... dang that pass through socket is a big plus. I was about to buy the new DeWalt dcf500 sealed head because I liked the interchangeable anvil and ability to put a 1/4" hex collet on there so you can use driver bits. But this seems to have that plus that pass through and more with the flippable head for tight awkward spaces. I work as an electrician and also on my car too of course, and am no stranger to cramped areas or having the need to tighten a nut up through some long all thread. I gotta say the DeWalt seemed very well built and powerful but this just has everything and I'm sure Milwaukee has built it well enough.

Wanted to see you tighten a few fasteners and then use your digital torque wrench to indicate the working torque of the new insider ratchet.

What is the size of the pass thru sockets? The length, and the part that inserts the rachet, is there have a way to use wrench on the back of the socket? Like 17mm wrench on the back of the socket?

While I'm all for innovation, and by all means this is innovative, not everyone needs to run out and buy this kit. Reason being, they can save a ton and buy a set of low profile sockets, and still be able to get their cordless ratchet to fit in those tight spots. Now, if you don't have a cordless ratchet or the one you have needs to be replaced, then this could be a top contender. This definitely has a lot going for it with the higger torque and speed settings, along with the pass through sockets for the smaller diameter sockets. Heck, in reality we aren't going to be performing a ton of high torque in 1/4 and 3/8 drive sizes anyway, plus we would be using a torque wrench to tighten them properly and more than likely a cheater bar to break them loose in the first place, so that's all irrelevant anyway. This tool is going to be a great tool in the overall line up.

I don't want to be forced into having a set of SAE and metric sockets for standard ratchets and socket wrenches, and then another set of sockets for the Milwaukee Insider. Maybe Milwaukee will come out with an Insider socket wrench so you would only need one style of sockets to use with both socket wrenches and battery powered ratchets. But until then, I prefer to keep my toolbox lighter and use non-proprietary sockets.

The hex drive on the tool on the tool looks to be about 12mm across the flats. 16mm socket = M10 thread, add a little clearance and you'd have nothing left! The drive can't be much bigger, because that would make the head too big.

Unless you need the pass through feature I say this is a no go. There's stubby sockets for those hard to reach areas that already solve the problem this is trying to fix. Having to switch the anvil to a new socket, and pop it back into the tool is just adding an extra step that will get annoying fast. Instead of pop one socket off and pop a new one off its... pop anvil out of tool, pop socket off anvil, pop anvil on new socket, pop anvil in tool.

Snap On automotive power tools are in general barely competitive, even ignoring their price premium. They are the overall number 1 North American professional automotive hand tool company for sure (though there are several European companies who also make superb tools in this segment). Not by any means the number one power tool company. And no indication that is going to change. If anything, they are at greater risk of losing that business than ever before. Only recently has Snap On discovered brushless motor technology; they continue to lag the industry in power tool innovation. Their short warranty speaks volumes about their power tool reliability, and reluctance to support their customers in this category. It’s almost like they are afraid of backing products that aren’t just hunks of metal. To make matters worse, across YT we see examples of a wide range of attitudes from their truck guys, ranging from total support for their cordless products to finding any excuse to stiff you - there appears to be no consistent level of the company standing behind their power tools. Their tool truck business model seems to be working against them here. Batteries are unobtainable without access to that tool truck. And those are overpriced even compared to the general overpricing of batteries from everybody. Then you add in the tool price disparity, and alternatives like Milwaukee or even (gasp! ) DeWalt become attractive. If Snap On cordless tools are so great why don’t they only offer a 2-year warranty? Even HARBOR FREIGHT (!!!) is longer (Hercules). The compactness of Snap On’s cordless ratchet head was legitimately but briefly attractive, until industry at large caught up with that feature, and now surpassed them with equivalent or better designs. Milwaukee’s Insider is one example of being innovative in the low profile head design and the interchangeable anvil sizes, as well as the pass-thru feature, and bundling a socket set with the tool. Oh but then the company doesn’t get to sell you three sizes of ratchets, when one tool with three anvil sizes will do it. Bravo, score one for marketplace competition. Meanwhile I suspect Snap On’s R&D budget is being siphoned off to their executive bonuses, instead of them doubling down and increasing investments to meet the challenges of today’s competitive landscape. Too bad, though they do make fantastic wrenches. HF / Icon would never ever copy their Flank Drive Plus feature nor their alloy composition nor their hardening process. Nope, totally safe there. No reason whatsoever to step it up on innovating, just go get yourselves another summer home boys!
