MILWAUKEE® Introduces the New Range of M12 FUEL™ Ratchets

MILWAUKEE® launches the next generation of M12 FUEL™* Ratchets that redefine productivity, capability and comfort.

MILWAUKEE® 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’s and 61 Nm of max torque on the 1/4" model, 300 rpm’s and 108 Nm on the 1/2", and 400 rpm’s and 95 Nm on the 3/8 “, each solution is optimised to tackle demanding applications with confidence and control.

Designed for full body access, the next-generation M12 FUEL ratchets feature a low-profile head of 19 mm and compact tool body to fit comfortably in the hand. With a small head size and lightweight design, just 0.7 kg – 0.8 kg as bare tools, these ratchets allow technicians to reach fasteners in under hood, 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.

Industry leading FUEL™ technology combined with a robust design for greater durability.

Built for all-day use, the M12 FUEL Ratchets provide ultimate comfort with an ergonomic contoured grip that reduces fatigue during extended service work. A new trigger cap kit allows users to personalise their grip point. 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 available separately which includes 5 trigger caps with 4 buttons and one paddle. (Sold separately 4932501753).

Equipped with a targeted LED work light, battery isolation system, and optimised raised forward/reverse shuttle, this ratchet tackles core frustrations and delivers uncompromising performance.

 

MILWAUKEE® is committed to improving productivity by providing performance driven and trade focused solutions so users can perform an entire day’s work on one battery system. The new M12 FUEL rachets are fully compatible with the entire M12 line, now offering more than 125 power tool solutions.

professionals to identify challenges and provide solutions
