Works very well and saves a lot of time. So far seems to be good battery life. The only downside is a lot of bigger bolts must be broken free before it will take them out.

Very sturdy tool but heavy!
5 years ago
The 1/2” ratchet is a great addition to the tool box, but it is heavy. I tend to use 3/8” most but 1/2” seems to have more torque on 5/8” and up sockets.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great tool, does everything advertised, it could use a bit more torque but other than that it gets in those tight confined areas that others can’t.

A good addition to a set of tools.

Works well, but is quite large so not for tight places. Less powerful than my pneumatic, but is much more convenient than dragging around a hose.

Surprised by the torque
5 years ago
I have had the 3/8" m12 rachet and found torque a little low to compete all jobs. The 1/2" m12 fuel really gets the job done. Very satisfied.
