I'll preface this by saying that I am a home gamer and I use my ratchet primarily to work on my kid's cars. I use this thing to zing bolts on and off. I don't use it for torque. If I want torque, I use an impact. I've actually found that I have to be careful with this ratchet or it will overtighten small fasteners like hose clamps or intake bolts and strip them out. Obviously, it doesn't have the torque to take off a caliper bracket (the higher torque model wouldn't either). I'd take speed over torque on this kind of tool.

Community Reviews

This Milwaukee M12 Fuel kit pairs a 3 8 inch ratchet with a 1 4 inch impact driver for compact car and DIY work. The ratchet is praised for speed in tight spaces, especially for loosening bolts and snugging small fasteners, while the impact driver is better suited to screws and wood work. The ratchet is the lower torque 2567 20 model, so it is more about quick spinning than heavy breakaway power, and it can overtighten small hardware if pushed. The M12 size and Fuel brushless build also make it feel lighter and more durable than larger 18 volt tools.

Common Questions (5)

  • No. The kit includes the 2567-20 ratchet, which is the faster but lower-torque version at 35 lb max torque. The higher-torque 2557-20 is rated at 55 lb max torque.

    sethfhicksTenseString3511InfluxProductions

  • The 3/8 in. ratchet is better for tightening and removing bolts, especially small fasteners around 13 mm and under, because it gives more feel in tight spaces. The 1/4 in. impact driver is better for screws than bolts, though it can be used with the proper adapter.

    GTPquickRBhostilehotdog

  • Yes. It is fast enough that it can overtighten small fasteners like hose clamps or intake bolts if you are not careful, so it is best used for zipping bolts on and off or snugging them rather than final torque.

    EagerVolcano7715URxTOXICxFACE

  • Yes. The ratchet is short enough for tight spots, works well for removing bolts after loosening them, and the impact driver's light helps in dark areas. The M12 tools are also smaller and lighter than 18V tools, which makes them easier to handle for car work.

    URxTOXICxFACEURxTOXICxFACE

  • Yes. Eligible military exchange shoppers can log into Home Depot through the exchange site and reportedly get the kit for $179 with no sales tax. AAFES also reportedly offers a Home Depot link with 10% off and no tax.

Is this worth it if I already have a Dewalt 1/2" and 3/8" impact driver? I've kinda been wanting a ratchet..

You have impact wrenches if they're 1/2" and 3/8". The ratchet is also 3/8", but gives better feel IMO when tightening bolts, especially anything 13mm and smaller.
The 1/4" impact driver is a different tool from them all, better suited for screws than bolts, though it can be used with the proper adapter. Depends on what you need to use them for.

I do my fair share of mechanic work and I use an m18 1/2" impact, m12 3/8", and this m12 1/4" hex impact and each has its place. My 1/4" hex is most often used with my 1/4" square drive sockets and is very handy since it has the selectable modes. Mode 1 works well on 6mm fasteners, mode 2 on 8mm, and mode 3 on anything larger. The little joker is surprisingly strong and is also my go-to tool to drive screws into wood with.

The ratchet in this set is the weaker model 2567-20 which has a max torque of 35 lbs. Still a decent ratchet, but not as good as model 2557-20 which has a max torque of 55 lbs.

The draw to this 2567 ratchet is the high speed. 450 rpm vs 200 rpm on that higher torque model. I'd take spinning off bolts faster than a tiny bit more torque any day. The 2557 model hardly goes on sale for a decent price. Better off getting the new ratchets when they drop rather than the 2557 if the torque rating really matters.

I wouldn't say a 57% increase in torque is a "tiny bit."
There are use cases for both models; the 2567-20 is designed for speed and tight spaces, and the 2557-20 is built for more power.

Depends on what you're doing, I guess. If you're just trying to kill a fly, I'll take the fly swatter and the cheaper price.
