The screwdriver is awesome for small home projects. I use it all the time. Don't listen to anyone saying it's useless… it's great!
Downgraded from m18 to m12 fuel for compactness and weight. Car enthusiast here. Have Ryobi stuff for home tools and one-off stuff.

In the shop we mainly used battery impacts. Power ratchets had limited usefulness. The higher torque ratchets were a pain to hold all day.

Stick with the Ryobi since you have the battery(ies) already.

M12 batteries are cheap on ebay after the holidays as people part them out from kits. But they still get pricey. I wouldn't use any less than a compact 3.0ah or bigger xc 4.0ah on the ratchet.

My 2 cents.
I have the M12, it's smaller and gets into tighter areas deep in the engine bay.

Any thoughts on this deal vs https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI.../328814689 (2 ryobi 1/4 and 3/8 extended brushless with no battery $189)? I already have a 1/2" ryobi impact, so I'm using that battery for these 2 ratchets, but now I'm thinking this milwaukee might be better for my needs? Smaller with battery included. I'm just a diyer on my car.
I don't think I need the torque as the battery ratchet will be just be to quickly fasten/unfasten. Thoughts?

Nothing an extension and/or universals wouldn't solve on an impact usually.

Oh yea, the screwdriver in this kit is pretty unimpressive. Good for an extra thing to keep in the house but they're frequent on flea bay for really cheap anyhow.
The screwdriver sits around and collects dust most of the time, but did come in handy when I had to install a lot of outlets and light switches.

The 3/8 ratchet is useful but the 1/4 is a pretty specialized/rarely used tool and will more than likely just sit around collecting dust unless you have European cars.

I have the screwdriver and love it personally. Much lighter and convenient than my M18 tools. Good power for what it is and comes in really handy working on auto's and stuff.

This may be Milwaukee's lowest-end ratchet and brushed but it's still a good one. The head is small so it fits better into tight spaces, and it's light and compact enough that you can use it all day. When I got it I already had the 3/8" stubby and impact driver so I wondered whether I'd use it much, but I have, a lot. It's really useful in situations where the impacts can't fit or would be really awkward to use, and the fastener is on the smaller side so it doesn't need much torque to break. E.g. hose clamps, exhaust hanger bolts, timing belt covers, etc. I could manage without it, with a breaker bar, manual ratchet and combo wrenches, but even then its speed makes things go much faster. For most DIYers it should be good enough.

Two very different designs, but the Worx one is a toy in comparison IMO.

The Milwaukee is much better. Has a 15(?) setting clutch (clutch sets a specific torque setting so you don't damage whatever the screw is going into - set it really low for delicate things, turn it off for max power, or anywhere in between), has a much higher RPM (500 vs 300), is about 4x as powerful, removable/replaceable batteries, etc.

Keep in mind that the Milwaukee comes with just one single bit though (just a phillips head bit). You would need to buy bits separately.

Also, if you're set on something like the Worx WX240, look into the Worx WX242. It's only available from China (it's not even listed on their US website), it seems, so that means you have to buy it from Ali Express or somewhere like that. I got one just recently and received it without issue (I think it took like a week). I got it for around $30. It has a clutch as well, like the Milwaukee, but is still significantly inferior in many other aspects.

I have both (the Milwaukee 2401-22 and the Worx WX242). I've barely used the Milwaukee and haven't even opened the Worx yet though.
