MILWAUKEE, WI – Milwaukee Tool continues to elevate productivity for the automotive, MEP, and industrial trades with the next generation of M12 FUEL™ Ratchets. Available in 1/4", 3/8”, and 1/2", these ratchets are designed for work in underhood, undercarriage, and interior applications. With redefined access and improved comfort, these new ratchets stand out as the ultimate cordless solution. 

The new M12 FUEL™ Ratchets deliver the best combination of power and speed by eliminating the trade-offs between torque and speed that have long limited cordless productivity. Powered by Milwaukee’s POWERSTATE™ Brushless outer rotor motor, these ratchets provide the enhanced power needed to break away stubborn fasteners and the speed to complete service efficiently. With 550 RPM and 45 ft-lbs of max torque on the 1/4" model, and 300 RPM and 80 ft-lbs on the 1/2", each solution is optimized to tackle demanding applications with confidence and control.

Designed for full body access, the next-generation M12 FUEL™ Ratchets feature the most compact head and body profile in their class. With the industry’s smallest head size and lightweight design, just 1.5 to 1.7 lbs as bare tools, these ratchets allow technicians to reach fasteners in underhood, undercarriage, and interior applications without sacrificing cordless productivity. By maintaining the access typically reserved for manual hand tools, Milwaukee ensures users can work with cordless efficiently in the most confined environments.

Built for all-day use, the M12 FUEL™ Ratchets provide unmatched comfort with an ergonomic contoured grip that reduces fatigue during extended service work. A new-to-world modular trigger cap kit allows users to personalize their grip point. For the first time, technicians can choose between button or paddle-style trigger caps to match their preferred workflow. Each ratchet comes with the button trigger cap installed on the tool, and one extra paddle available to install per user's fit and grip preference. There is an additional M12 FUEL™ Ratchet Modular Trigger Cap Kit is also available separately which includes 5 trigger caps with 4 buttons and one paddle.

Equipped with a targeted LED work light, battery isolation system, and optimized raised forward/reverse shuttle, this ratchet tackles core frustrations and delivers uncompromising performance. Protective boot options are available for each ratchet to protect the tool and work surfaces. For enhanced access in tight spaces, Low Profile Anvil Assembly options are also available. These features enable users to reduce the tool’s profile and reach fasteners in challenging locations. 

The new M12 FUEL™ Ratchets join the M12™ Cordless System, the largest sub-compact system on the market, focused on delivering industry-leading durability and the power to complete applications in the tightest spaces. Currently, the M12™ System is made up of more than 150 solutions.
