You don't want the fuel version of either of these tools. I have the normal and extended fuel ratchet and this non fuel is still the one I use 90% of the time. If you look at reviews on YouTube everyone else prefers this non fuel also.

For the screwdriver this one is already almost too powerful for what you would use an electric screwdriver for, so if the fuel is more powerful than this then that's a bad thing. At that point I'd just used the m12 fuel drill/impact that's also on sale right now.
No fuel, no deal
This comes up every time here when this ratchet is discussed.

Milwaukee has 3 versions of this ratchet.

1) The original Non Fuel in the bundle, which a lot of people prefer because is small.

2) The first FUEL https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/2557-20, which is the one he is describing. Is bulky and big and not worth it over the non fuel one.

3 )The newer HIGH SPEED FUEL that almost never goes on sale: https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/2567-20

The 3rd is the one that you are referring, but giving the price, you are better off saving some $$$ and get the non-fuel unless you are zipping bolts non stop everyday.

I got the screwdriver with two batteries few weeks ago. Thinking about returning it for this, even though it's not fuel I can use the ratchet…

Weekend warrior here. I use the screwdriver for almost 80% of stuff around the house. I have fuel m12 and m18 drills. The screwdriver is my go too. If you need the ratchet. This is a sweet deal because the screwdriver is about 70ish normal and 50 clearance.

Screw driver is great for the cheap furniture. The Rachet is small for timing belt work.

The fuel ratchet is worse than the regular one, and brushless isn't necessary on the driver.

The fuel ratchet is much bigger and not nearly as useful, and the torque increase isn't a big enough difference maker.

I wish they included two batteries instead of the charger. I got like 4 of those things already.

I have this set from a few years ago. I enjoy it. I use it more than my 20 for day to day stuff. It has also helped me stop splitting would when driving screws

Quote from James369 :
This is not good advice. For one, most youtubers (which is not a trustworthy metric anyways) prefer and love the fuel version because it is significantly faster especially helpful for those working on automotive projects. The ratchet has significant improvements in the fuel version. For example it has a smaller end to help reach those tough spots with not much room.

Just wait for the clearance version of the screwdriver and buy the fuel ratchet separately. The fuel version of the ratchet is available fairly often using the home depot hack.

If you are using this tool five days a week, then maybe you should consider buying the top-of-the-line models. The Milwaukee M12 3/8 in. Ratchet is one of the most copied power tools out there. Looking at all the reviews listed on Amazon would suggest that thousands of people are buying the cheap knockoffs. The set listed here is the better option for people who want inexpensive tools that have a real warranty and good replacement battery's available.

That ratchet alone is enough for me to pull the trigger. However, I have already made other purchases that my home lieutenant will raise hell if I make another shopping.

I bought this last year. Both the ratchet and screwdriver are great.
