Milwaukee 2558-20 M12 FUEL 12V 1/2-Inch 60-Ft-Lbs. Cordless Ratchet - Bare Tool
Milwaukee® M12 FUEL™ 1/2" Cordless Ratchet (Bare Tool)
I'm Chad, the owner of More4less. For any mechanic or serious DIYer, the biggest pain point in the workshop is fighting with stubborn bolts in spaces too tight for an impact wrench. You're left busting your knuckles with a manual ratchet, wasting time and effort. That's why I curated the Milwaukee M12 FUEL Ratchet. It is the ultimate solution—delivering the torque to break bolts loose with the compact size to reach anywhere, dramatically increasing your productivity.
- Serious Nut-Busting Torque: Delivers up to 60 ft-lbs of torque to remove stubborn fasteners.
- Unmatched Access: The most compact cordless ratchet with a slim head profile for tight spaces.
- Professional Durability: POWERSTATE™ brushless motor provides maximum power and a long, service-free life.
- Bare Tool Advantage: The perfect, cost-effective addition if you already own M12™ batteries.
Expert Insights
"A Master Automotive Technician & Tool Reviewer would highlight two game-changing features. First, the **POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor**. Unlike older brushed motors with parts that wear out, brushless motors are electronically controlled, which means they run cooler, are more efficient, and provide significantly more power and a longer lifespan—this is non-negotiable for a pro. Second, the **recessed forward-reverse switch** and slim head design are critical. This low-profile design is what allows you to actually get this **battery ratchet** into the tight spots around an engine block or suspension components where other power tools simply won't fit."

"This thing is a beast. It's my go-to **Milwaukee cordless tool** for suspension work and engine jobs where an impact won't fit. The 60 ft-lbs of torque is no joke; it pops off bolts my old air ratchet struggled with. The slim head gets into tight spots with no problem. A must-have for any professional tech."
"I debated getting a **cordless ratchet** for a while, and I'm so glad I went with the M12 FUEL. This tool has saved me so much time and so many busted knuckles. The power is incredible for its size. If you're already in the M12 system, this is a no-brainer."
Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'Bare Tool' mean for this power ratchet?
"Bare Tool" means you are purchasing the ratchet tool only. It does NOT include a battery or charger. This is a cost-effective option for users who already own other cordless tools from the Milwaukee M12™ battery platform.
Can this ratchet be used manually to break bolts loose?
Yes. The FUEL ratchet line is built with a reinforced mechanism that allows you to use it just like a traditional manual ratchet. You can put your full strength into breaking a stubborn bolt loose by hand, then use the trigger to rapidly spin it off.
