HumbleMechanic I wonder if there is some kind of spec on the anvil for break free force!!! Maybe Milwaukee can answer that!

Sweeeet! This would come in handy while my 7 & 10 year old daughters and I do maintenance and minor repairs on our family vehicles. :) I'd love to have either drive size. I'm not picky and I have adapters. :)

That's what all the lady's say too.

3/8" I'll finally be able to drive this December! My grandpa gave me his 1993 Chevy 1500. So far I've had to drop the gas tank, restore it, and replace the fuel pump. This would be an awesome addition to my tool box.

this is 100% exactly what i wanted to watch. Doing research comparing the two lengths. Your conclusion of "if only 1, get the normal length" was exactly what i was looking for. Thanks Charles! Love this channel for VW / R32 / Beard content. And now more for the tool info!

98 Ford Explorer upkeep. The truck was sitting for over a year and I revived it back to life. My buddy gave it to me to check on his property while he was gone for a couple weeks. I daily drive it and love it. I would make good use of this ratchet.

You're supposed to use it like a regular ratchet to tighten or loosten, the electric is just for running the nut up or down. That's why the torque specs are low, because they aren't designed to be an impact. Having said that, Milwaukee also makes right angle impacts.

Love the videos. Working on my MK2 golf 1.8t in the UK and your videos have loads of useful info that can be used across all platforms. Keep up the great content

1/4 was just looking at this yesterday, going to use it for exactly what you described BLIND! Love your videos thanks for doing what you do helped me a ton on becoming better tech.

So I’m 72 and my youngest daughter is almost 13. “Back in the day” in High School auto shop (circa 1963) my buddy and I were in the Plymouth troubleshooting contest in Illinois. What a great time and experience and we had an awesome Auto Shop teacher. Over the years, I have retained that deep rooted passion for auto mechanics and oddly enough my daughter seems to have the same mechanics passion in her veins. We are going to buy a “project car” for she and I to fix up so when she turns 16 it will be hers to drive. Honestly, I would pass on the Milwaukee to her as something to remember Dad about and the fun we’ll have on the project car. Either the 1/4” or the 3/8” would be awesome. I really enjoy your videos and the down to earth manner you have. Keep up the good work.

Charles, I came across your channel a week or so ago, and just had to subscribe. Although, I'm not much of a VW fan anymore (went thru that phase in the late 80's and early 90's). I have picked up on a few things from you, and you are very thorough with what you do. keep up the good work!!

3/8 I work on my cars along with household projects. Love the content man, you always make great informative and entertaining videos!

I would love this 3/8" unit! I have never had a battery powered ratchet before and i think it would help a ton when i'm working on my car. Love your videos keep up the good work!

1/4”- working on my MK6 GTI. Your videos gave me the confidence to be able to work on my VW and to know I’m doing it properly! Thanks!!

1/4 I will be restoring my 91 Carolla, the only transportation that gets me and my cancer ridden, double amputee, HIV positive, diabetic, adopted chinese refugee daughter to her cancer treatments everyday. I will also be fixing her wheel chair seat padding that has totally worn down to the metal that pierces her spine every time she uses it to get around the house. PLEASE. WE CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT THIS TOOL.

Thanks for all your insight! Great channel and DIY resource.

I want one of these so very badly! Milwaukee is making outstanding products now. They're the only ones I spend any money on anymore. I'd love to get the 3/8" drive to work on my Ford. It's a constant project but I've kept the 2002 5.4l running and she's got 360k miles on her now. This tool would make my life so much easier and repairs so much faster. I have to replace the brakes soon so I would definitely be using this to get it fixed. This would also come in handy repairing my wife's subaru outback. Great video as usual sir!

Love your videos. I have a couple VW Jettas, so your videos have been very informative. I could use the 3/8 drive for vehicle repairs and restorations. I retired from the Air Force last year with 26 years as a vehicle mechanic and since they provided all the needed tools, I am now trying to build up my tool collection as well as a new larger tool box.

Nice to see a thorough review.

3/8" Starting towards my career as an auto technician as an apprentice and this would be a fantastic tool to add to my collection.

I'd love either one. I would use it at work, Charles. 21 years as a Volkswagen group technician! Thanks brother!

Cool another tool give away, great advices as always. Sure love me a 3/8 ratchet.

I have the old school m12 . It is my absolute favorite tool . As an automotive tech I would use the 3/8 most likely , but the 1/4 would work great as a extended reach but spinner for situations that have many screws. Thanks Charles ! Liked , Shared , and Commented .

Thank you to share , those are amazing tools. I'm use 3/8" , in my volvo and honda.

My main project is a 1971 Mustang Sportsroof and we also have an Mk7 that this channel has helped me a lot with!

3/8 for work on every day tasks and keeping the new beetle and family bus going. Finding I'm relying more on power tools these days as early onset arthritis sets in more and more in hands wrists hips pelvis and knees. Love your vids, they've helped me with the beetle so much in the last year and a half. Keep up the great work, Steve UK

I'm a dealership tech and I love my Milwaukee tools I use every day and would love to add these to the collection!!

Love this tool, just bought one, amazing for V style engine spark plug removal

3/8" my friend who is a professional mechanic and has volunteered tons of hours helping me work on many cars would love this.

My current project is my sons 2001 Grand Am, his first car. A recent fender bender has given us plenty of work.

3/8" and would use at home on my Tundra, wife's Subaru and my snowmobiles. Thank you Charles!

1/4 I do service my self my cars and my bike!!! Great video!!

Yesterday I thought "I really dont have reason to buy this" and today, right now, I'm changing the idler pulley on a Dodge Durango 5.7L. This long ratchet and shallow sockets wouldve made this a piece of cake.

I love the M12 line of tools. Small battery but still great power. I’d like to have the 3/8 one to do automotive repair.

1/4! The amount of times I've had my timing belt out, cam covers off and intake out on my Subaru sti I would love to have a small electric ratchet. Great vid! Love the channel!

I work in body repair and this definitely would come in handy when removing sliding doors for Van's and such also for removing rear bumpers on trucks when you have to get underneath to remove the bolts, and rear taillights would be easier for sure. Thanks for the video

1/4” Currently working on a classic mini resto, and doing vacuum pump delete on a 2.5 jetta! Thanks Charles!

3/8” working on a MK6 GTI racecar, and wife’s daily 2012 JSW. And any other future vehicle to come because Milwaukee makes a great product!

I would absolutely love having a 3/8 one! Especially on a college budget. I'm always working on my '03 1.8t Passat, next project is inner CV boot replacements.

1/4 Swap AWP 1.8t in a MK1 with DSG DQ250 transmission. Father, Son and daughter project. Keep up the good work 👍

1/4 in. Will be a very handy tool to have! I deal with a lot of trim and very tight spaces at my job and having this tool will be awesome

3/8 will work great at work for pulling driveshafts!

Like your idea of touching and feeling the tool👍👍👍👍

Haha, u were very excited to open the box and case. U pulled it out in no time flat. I can’t wait till I pick one up.

3/8 " This tool will help with at the shop. Will make my daily service repairs go by faster, and will help me with all my audio and and car speakers build. Dream tool.

3/8 I have the old school 1/4 still rocking. I'd use this in the garage to work on my vehicles and my family and friends.

3/8” drive for my 2004 GTI VR6! I use the short one at work all the time and it’s great!

Love your videos. 3/8” drive FTW

1/4” works for me as I don’t have that and it would work well for small engines and mowers.

I purchased a 1/4 long reach from snap on a month ago and its now my most used tool. The Milwaukee is just as good and is cheaper. The snap on just feels better and is a little less bulky and can fit in tighter places. In the end it doesn’t matter which one you get, its amazing tool nether the less!

3/8" I have a 1997 Grand Marquis with over 389,000 miles on it, and it still runs great. Just finished a full replacement of the front end parts - upper and lower control arms, ball joints, pitman arm, idler arm, sway bar links, tie rods, shocks, rotors, calipers, etc. So, there's always something to work on, even though it's never left me stranded.

One of these ratchets would go miles towards helping to keep my aging mk4 Jetta on the road!! Current projects: complete front suspension refresh, axle:diff output shaft seal, chasing down a valve cover leak. Your videos have been incredibly helpful!

Oh. The 1/4 inch would be ideal but the larger one would be great too!!

I have been trying to talk my wife into letting me get one of these for a while. I use 3/8 mostly as my favorite old craftsman ratchet is in that size. I would use it to work on my Tacoma, my wife's CRV and helping friends and family fix there cars. I am a DIY mechanic and always end up going to a friend or family's house to help and a portable power ratchet would really speed things along. Great video

I love Milwaukee tools. I would like to have both however I would be fine with the 3/8. I can add it to my collection of Milwaukee tools that use to work on my own cars. Thanks for the video.

I have volunteered to help a friend fix up their car since they cannot afford to pay a shop to do it. Finished up wheel bearing a couple weeks ago. Still on the list all serviceable fluids, rotors and pads, refitting the front bumper so it will stop popping loose, and anything else we find along the way.

Sweet tool. Honest review as always. Use on my MK7, wifey's Q3, and all the friends that aren't so great with mechanics (most of mine).

Nice tools @charles, both will work for me,. Going to be working on my audi s3 8l 1.8t, as you know, space is a hugh issues on Turbo cars, I have my hands forever getting hurt, lots more to do on the car, brakes is one of them too, shocks, thanks for the great content, I did notice you where sooo excited when getting new tools lol seems we all are the same, new tools and new parts, rock on

1/4" I do a lot of my own repairs on our vehicles. We own a 2007 VW Caravelle 2.5 TDi and a 2010 VW Jetta 2.0 TDi. I also do all my own maintenance and repairs on our motorcycles. Such a tool would be a great addition to my toolbox. I live in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, about 35 km from the VW factory in Uitenhage.

1/4” Would be a great addition to my Milwaukee set working on cars 👍👍👍👍

I would love the 3/8. I'm a Makita guy, but I've been eyeing these Milwaukee ratchets. I spun a bearing on my 2012 GTI and this would be a great tool to assist with the rebuild. I also picked up an Icon ratchet after seeing your video. It's amazing!

Wow,I was really after one of these too bad we don't have this in Australia.I alr3ady got the standard 3/8 and love it.I just started working in European specialist workshop and would love a long reach 3/8 for my collection and it will be a game changer for my work. Anyways keep up the energy and the good work you do Charles you somehow make me to love European cars and their engineering since the last few years after I started following you.I used to hate to work to them probably because of lack of understanding. Thanks again👍👍

3/8" I am currently putting a turbo on my S2000 and while I had the engine out I decided to do a few more things in the bay like tidying it up... then get the sub frame powder coated... then the rear one powder coated... then full under seal treatment... basically turning into a restoration / suspension upgrade plus poly bushings and engine mounts. I am currently borrowing a friends one (the short version) now and again and I have always wanted one. They are so handy!

1/4" working in a car dealership and would love to add to the m12 tools. Excited to see the m12 die grinder next.

1/4" I'd be using it every day at work!!!! I've been drooling over this since it was announced and just don't have the money to get it right now. I'm a tech that does a lot of engine repair. I think of any sort of pulley, water pump, timing belt jobs when I think of using this.

Currently working on a Nissan silvia S15. Just fitted a new ecumaster emu black ecu to her, with the hopes of getting the car running over winter ready for some summer track sessions next year! I have a few milwaukee products already and absolutely love them!

I would love the 3/8” drive version. One of these tools is on my list for my dream garage! I would be working on my cars with this.

3/8” and I will mostly use it on my 65 El Camino and 13 Golf TDI but I’m sure many other things as well. Looks like a great tool!

3:8’s and I would be working on my VW GTI as well as Chevys at my job at heritage chevrolet! Love the videos, I’ve learned a lot of stuff from you by watching your videos!

We have a project car at automotive school and this would be SO helpful!

I use the O.G. 3/8 ratchet all day every day! I would love either one for different applications!

Great Vid ! Great for used on the gas engine rod golf cart 3/8 ratchet .

3/8 Maintenance on my cars and the normal winter upgrades are always fun and additional tools always make things better!

3/8 for sure! I would be using this tool in real tight spots on buses for work!

Shared on Facebook. 3/8 in a diesel shop working on anything in the Ford F, E and T series 250 up to 650. Mac, international. And equipment skid steers, front loaders and backhoes

3/8" for my 2001 Audi A4. Thanks, Charles!

I’m starting out as a technician and the 3/8 drive would be a great addition to my m12 drill and 1/4” impact.

3/8 to work on my opel astra project love the videos btw :)

Super cool tool. I would really like having this to work on my MK4 Jetta or my 13 Passat. The 1/4" looks like the perfect size for getting in those all to often hard to reach spots on the MK4. Keep making the great review videos.

3/8" Currently replacing my control arm bushings, stabilizer bushings, brakes and suspension on my 14 TDI SportWagen. This would save my wrists and arms! Keep up the great work! :)

3/8, 2018 Golf R and 1998 RSTi (my current project), also cant wait on more Golf R content :D keep it up!

Honda family here, pilots, elements and civic Own the Milwaukee m12 1/4 hex impact, m18 3/8 mid torque and 1/2 high torque so one of these would be a nice addition

I will use it to save wear and tear of my knuckles in tight spaces thank you for the video

I have the 3/8 and use it every chance I can on my car or around the house, the thing is sweet. 1/4 would be great for some pre-winter tune ups.

I would go with the 1/4” drive. I actually just started at a VW dealer as a tech so that’s where I would be using it. Thanks Charles!

Hey Charles, thanks as always for the great content! I would love a quarter inch drive tool, and would be mostly using it to work on my and my wife’s cars. Have a good one!

3/8" Working on bringing a mk4 GTI back to life. Working on a 1975 280z project car. Maintaning my daily driver 2005 Subaru Forester XT.

3/8" My current project is a 99 K2500 6.5 Diesel. Full engine rebuild +tune, cam, injectors etc, replace all bushings & mounts with polyurethane, vacuum delete, rear swaybar install.

3/8 Would be amazing to further on my Jeep Tj project and work on vehicles for my family. Love the channel always the best information.

Anything automotive an the neighborhood kids bicycles,my grandsons love em' I'd take a 3/8, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK

I'm a mechanic for the army and also do side work at home. I'm about to get a project car. I've never owned one of The electric Ratchets. I would love to have the 3/8 one. I think it would help me alot in the side work, project car, and also using it at work. Love your video's cant wait for more content!

3/8 all the way! I need one badly to add to my collection of m12 impact driver and drill.

I would love the 1/4" drive to add to my m12 collection. I work at a powersports shop. We are Polaris dealer but service all major brands. I currently have the original m12 1/4" ratchet along with the m12 3/8" impact and m12 drill. All have served me well the 3 years I've been running them. Thanks Charles!

I would like the 3/8ths drive. This will make the work on my wife's car much easier. Her SUV just got 73,000 miles so barely broken in, but some big things are going to need to be replaced soon. So, if I am selected, this will make it easier to work on my wife's car, then my car when it gets up there in miles to. Congrats on the channel doing so well and for the awesome content!

3/8: Finishing up my fox body race car, and my buddy just bought a 280z we've gotta put together, so I'll make good use of it!

Either would be a great addition to my arsenal. I work at a shop and only have hand and air tools. Been wanting to try out the Milwaukee stuff, heard nothing but good reviews. Shared on FB.

Great tools I love Milwaukee

Thanks Charles for liking my Comment

Thanks for sharing. 🙂👍

1/4" would be great for my home and garage related projects. Great videos, keep up the. Good work!

3/8” drive would be my choice since I would use it at the shop. I am a heavy truck mechanic in Canada and electric tools are becoming more and more handy in the industry.

Ay carramba....that reach is incredible... Me likes..
