🤫🤫 Milwaukee is catching on..! The prices seem to sneak up every year. And its getting a little ridiculous.

I like it and I have a lot of M12 and M18 tools but at $279 the cost can't be justified for a regular guy. If I was a paid mechanic then yes, but only after I had most other tools I needed. And that would be a long list of other tools. Pullers, extracters, ball joint tools, there is a long list. Having said that, if you work on cars and don't have a good cordless impact wrench nowadays, you might as well be in the Stone Age, lol. It is AMAZING how much the tool tech has changed since I started working on cars in the 80s.

279 is pretty pricy but the basic short version is ~200 and doesnt come with sockets. So now youve gotta go out and buy yourself a set. 300 bucks isint cheep but if its your first electric ratchet, and you dont have a set of low pro sockets already it seems pretty reasonable to me

At home I've done a lot of small projects that with hand tools, just took too long and I became tired fast. Specifically with a front subframe replacement which had a couple of long bolts that were painful with hand tools. Because of this, I've considered a cordless ratchet. Although, in a week I will be starting my job as an express tech which doesn't really use a ratchet that often or need an electric ratchet. I would need an impact as I'll be removing wheels a lot to do brake checks and tire rotations. Maybe an impact driver as the guy who trained me had one for certain engine splash shields when doing oil changes and opening air boxes. I've provided all this context because I've been looking into buying my first Milwaukee power tool and im unsure if it would be better for me to buy a Cordless ratchet like the insider for my personal project cars and as I learn to work more in depth on cars with school, or an impact wrench for work to be quicker and make it easier for me. what do you think?

the slim design, 60lbs ft of torque, and the nifty passthrough design really did it for me. I need to get me know of these puppies!

The hex drive on the tool on the tool looks to be about 12mm across the flats. 16mm socket = M10 thread (ISO nut size, I know DIN and JIS are different), add a little clearance and you'd have nothing left! I'm impressed the 15mm socket is pass-through!

@aliefdrumline

There's a 1/2 adapter for this??

Its is amazing its Amadextrious that the socket can be put on both sides like that the light is on both sides

the selector switch vibrates quite a bit which seems a little sus but I'm guessing it doesn't affect the use of the tool, just a note to make compared to the traditional electric ratchets that are solid when using the tool

Now I want another Milwaukee tool.

I'm about to swap a jeep 4.0 engine on my XJ and was on the wall between the newer Dewalt 20v vs the insider. Seeing the insider in action makes me feel better about choosing it for my project. Longer neck, pass through sockets, better leverage to break bolts, more accessibility into tight areas, carry the anvils in your pocket and you can switch between 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2. Last but not least, the faster it spins the less I like it! There has to be a realistic speed or you risk knurling and cross threading the bolts when fastening them. Now I know why by friend said the newer Dewalt was faster, but the Milwaukee insider was more practical.

Total D move in the first 5 seconds. But the hilarious kind 😂 I guess you could say you called our B.L.U.F. 😂😂

As far as breaking free bolts, does the metal of the tool extend down through the plastic handle?

The ability to swap drive sizes does it for me.

@4:54 tf kind of voice change was that 'accessability' 😂

I wish the kit came with SAE. 90% of my work is standard. Sweet ratchet though.

I like how when you switched it over then spun it, the socket pushed out of the drive lol great. I like the idea but any size over 15mm is no better than the old one? I think it's a straight up upgrade if you don't already own one. Thanks for the video

Great review. I've broken one of their original ratchets when the paddle got caught, so I appreciate being able to flip it around

I was very curious on how this wanna gonna set up size wise. I was hoping they would put the switch mechanism in a different area. I really like the sealed Matco (gasp!) ratchets. I’m curious about the size different with those and a stubby socket.

I have one of these. It seems to have a lot of power. Maybe to much. The one things I don't like is when you are using regular sockets with the square drive adapter, when you go to change sockets and go to pull the socket off, the adapter pulls out with the socket. Then you have to put the tool down and use both hands to get the adapter out of the socket and reinsert it into the tool and then install the new socket. I wish there was a way to better lock the adapter in place.

This thing is so cool

What do you prefer to use the high speed ratchet or this one? Uk Birmingham watching cool videos 😎👊

Great...now I have to buy another Milwaukee ratchet.

22 year auto tech, there is no comparison to Milwaukee. top notch.

I saw a Ryobi one that you can change the head to any size, 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2. I looked at it and was impressed with the design. Then a Home Depot employe told me that Milwaukee is making one just like that but its still not being sold your... I need it....

@Tom--Ace

10 күн бұрын

I ordered that ryobi from the US to Australia! I got that ryobi, an extended neck ryobi and a small low power lithium ryobi ratchet for the same price as just the insider Milwaukee sells for here in Oz - 3 tools for the price of 1, with much more controlled torque options (just pick your Max power, 75nm, 50nm, or 8nm) - ideal! Ryobi tools aren't as compact and small as the Milwaukee, but damn do you get a lot for your money. Is Milwaukee going to make a similar anvil design to the ryobi multi size?

How does this compare if you used a astro pneumatic nano socket on the regular high speed ratchet

Can you grease/service the head?

How do you compare it to the new dewalt sealed head tool , I think it’s the 500 or 510 model?

How did u get it early, I'm soo lucky I didn't get the extended reach when I can get this

Is there a 1/2" adapter that can be purchased?

9:30 Is it just the camera or does that direction selector jostle around a LOT?

Compare it with a snap on socket on a regular 3/8 ratchet

How does this compare to the other Milwaukee cordless ratchets

I think the new dewalt ratchet is better because you can change the anvil from 3/8 to 1/2 so you get 2 ratchet sizes in one

Can you get the 17 mm bolts out of the cvt transmissions brackets on the side with that thing?

Also, it's not just "American men" That has a thingy for the red tools and Subaru ;)

Its ok.i have the kobalt 24v ratchet and a craftsman 20v Its not really any better!

I see a problem with their design of the socket is if you use their set of socket and you need to use a extension on the ratchet. you can't use the passthrough socket with extension. you need to get another set to finish the job. Also, I saw one video on you tube saying that if you use the 1/4 or 3/8 head. it can only clip one side and the other is will not holding the head. if you can confirm it?
