Sheesh with the new one coming up they're trying to unload these. I got it for $199 with 2x5.0s a couple weeks ago but I'm waiting to see the release date on the new one... Ok just kidding this is the low speed high torque one. I got the high speed.

I'm waiting for the new design but most articles say Jan 2026. Might have to pull trigger if gets cheap enough.

I'm getting the new one. Can't wait for the button option, "up to" 70 ft/lbs, and the smaller head.

Great size, but underpowered. Useful if you use a breaker bar first and then this tool if doing car work.

I got in on the $199 deal as well, mainly for the batteries. I am really interested in the new one, but it's going to be a bit before we get deals on it like this.

This is the fuel NOT high speed, half the speed of the high speed and larger head, you get like 20 extra ft lbs iirc (55 vs 35 I think it is) honestly dont know why anyone would want this tool at this price point when the high speed has been less after deals.

It's a ratchet. You're supposed to use your arm first if needed then run the nut/bolt the rest of the way with the button. It works very well, exactly as intended.

Exactly! Unpublished by Milwaukee, you can manually crank up to 150 ft./lbs on these to loosen up lugs or bolts (on the "1/2 head at least which I have) and then button to loosen the rest of the way. It's not recommended though hence unpublished, but they can withstand it. Also said don't do it often as you're at the mercy of the plastic body when doing that. Basically do that at your own risk.

Correct, model numbers will be 256# instead of 255# also. The non high-speed FUEL has more torque, but half the speed. Torque is of very limited use on a cordless ratchet for most applications.
