Small shop projects this is a must

a year ago
Awesome ratchet. Suggest this for any small projects. Easy to use. Even small batteries last a long time in it. Doesn’t over tighten and same size as the 3/8. This guy is becoming one of my favorite tools. It was not something I expected. I grab it more often than my drill.

Yes, I recommend this product.

M12 FUEL 1/4 High Speed Ratchet

2 years ago
Very strong and very fast ratchet. I use one everyday for work and it’s so much faster than the 3/8 regular battery ratchet I honestly grab this one for 13mm sometimes 14mm bolts if they don’t look like they’re gonna be too tight. Love it definitely recommend it.

Yes, I recommend this product.

1/4 Fuel Ratchet Extended Reach

2 years ago
Great, well built,I’m loving the extended reach model and it’s still able to get in those tighter areas. There has been a few times when the light will get blocked because the extended reach will get in those type of places. All in all very good product.

Yes, I recommend this product.

High Speed

Picked up this ratchet because I already had the extended reach 3/8 and wanted something a little more compact. This ratchet is very comfortable and balanced in the hand and wicked fast. This is a must have for engine and interior work

Good fast slightly bigger

Works great, very fast. Similiar power to the older brushed ratchets. Body is slightly bigger and head size about the same as the old brushed model they now call the sub-compact. Overall I’m very happy with these ratchets.

Best 1/4 ratchet ever!

I’m a Flat rate autobody tech and this ratchet is superfast! I’ve owned lots of 1/4 ratchets and this is by far the best one I’ve ever owned. Sees everyday use and is perfect for my job. Powerful and comically fast.

A good product.

Great ratchet, wish it was the extended reach as the bulku body keeps it from some tight areas. Is definitely fast once the bolt is broken loose. Overall a good tool. Has become one of the first things i reach for.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I really enjoy using this ratchet. It’s so much better than doing everything by hand and it saves so much time. Would definitely recommend get it. Especially if you work flat rate and don’t already have one.

Lacks the power of the 2556-20

a year ago
Mobile heavy equipment tech.....work on loaders, excavators, dozers, etc. I owned both the 2556-20 and the 2566-20. The 2566 seems to have a torque sensor......cuts the power off when it reaches max torque or when your trying to get last little ummphff onto that fastener. The 2556 would let you do that........pull the trigger and it would give that fastener the last little 'whack' it needed to drive it home. When your in a tight space and don't have any room to swing the handle to use a regular ratchet......you need that umppphff. This ratchet (2566) cuts out like it has a torque limiter or sensor. Sadly, my 2556 died. I had to send it into miwaukee to get it fixed. They deemed it unrepairable (it needed a new control board) and they sent back a 2566..........now I have 2 of these 2566. Compared to my old 2556, this ratchet is LACKING. Gets pretty frustrating when your on top of an excavator, have to climb down, get a regular ratchet, climb back up just to get that last 1/2 a turn on a 10mm head bolt. I really wish they had sent the old tool back........so disappointed.

No, I do not recommend this product.

3/8 in high speed ratchet.

Great ratchet! Easy to get into tight spaces, the battery last a long time and powerful enough for most jobs. With the manual ratchet ability, you can snug bolts after the tolls capacity is exceeded.

Great ratchet

Love this little ratchet speeds up bigger repair jobs especially in tight spaces. Sometimes i wish they gave it just a bit more power for breaking free fasteners but all in all a great tool

1/4" battery ratchet

It's not as powerful as I thought it would be. Some 6x1.0 bolts are not removed as easily as with the 3/8" ratchet. I will keep using it. I do love the capability to get into tight spaces.
