This model still has a smaller ratchet head then the 2nd version of the Fuel ratchet. They entire reason they made a 2nd Fuel ratchet is because the 1st version had a ratchet head too large to fit in tight spots.

I know people who have all 3 versions in their toolboxes and the original one gets used the most except for the long neck fuel ratchet. That one is the ultimate get into tight places electric ratchet.

Milwaukee made the two Fuel versions because they wanted to make the ratchet head last longer than the original. They just could not make as small as the original.

I could be mistaken, but I believe this does not have variable speeds and is a woot/walmart listing error.

This model is the old slow goat. Hard pass. Get the fuel model for stronger, faster revolutions & brushless tech for assembling weight racks/benches & working on car.

Looks like it does have variable speeds up to 250rpm with the variable trigger control per Milwaukee's specs. https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/2457

I have this model and it works perfectly fine for wrenching on my car or around the house. Bolts that need actual torque I just used my mid torque m18. This is a good tool at a good price for general things you would actually use a ratchet for.

This works fine for all of that , this isn't made for high torque situations , those should be broke loose beforehand

Yeah, this is the one that MANY old wood workers still prefer for certain kinds of work and is more controllable for cuts.

Horrible piece of equipment makes you wonder why it bothered to get up in them morning... (sarcasm alert)
