I left a job where I had a tool account. I bought this just to empty my account. If you understand this is not an impact gun, it is great. 1/4 and 3/8 inserts so you can use normal sockets if you need to.

Not sure why the thumbs down. This is the cheapest I've seen posted here.

However, Milwaukee will be releasing a newly designed extended reach box ratchet this summer so this current design may be discounted as we get closer to the new design release.

I have this thing and it's cool as hell but the "insider" part only shaves off 1/4" of depth (or 1/8" if you measure from the back of the switch / insider) for my smaller sockets (through 15mm). On my 16mm and up sockets it saves an additional 1/8". If you use the 3/8" adapter this one loses all savings becomes 1/4" *deeper* than the regular one.

If it came with 24mm it would save another 1/8" or more on that since that's where my short sockets step up in length.

My comparison is between this one (3050-20) and 2457-20 using DeWalt sockets (86-309D 14mm, 86-311D 16mm)

That said it has 5" and 100 RPM over my cheap one.

Had to cancel an order for this(without the battery deal) from Waysource due to shipping delays from bad weather on the east coast. This deal was much better at $208! Thank you OP!

They're probably just looking at Slickdeal's woefully inadequate "price intelligence" graph that is based on so little data as to be wholly useless.

Is there going to be a new insider? I just went looking and I don't see anything. Just new regular ratchets

They did release a new insider. It's a slimmer handle and new trigger. Not really worth the upgrade imho.

Newer than the 3050? That's 3 years old and I don't see a newer one.
I'm expecting a smaller handle and switchable trigger and maybe a higher rpm.
