What Did Milwaukee Do This Time?

• How can you improve on a ratchet?

It is a simple tool. Where most focus is on redesigning the tool, Team Red decided to work on the mechanisms inside and the design. A standout feature is how many teeth this ratchet has in its head. It contains ninety teeth, operates with a minor swinging motion, 4 degrees to be precise, and is especially useful in tight and cramped spaces.

A few noticeable design changes are the handle, the lever, and the tool’s material. The handle, compared to others, is not as bulky. You still have a rounded handle that helps with easy turning actions, but a flat top for better gripping is needed.

• Great for when your hands or gloves get covered in grease or other fluids.

Milwaukee has also flushed the lever more, so switching between loosening or tightening is easy. It is valuable and comfortable when you are already in a cramped space, and the parts you need to fix are next together. Realistically, you might have loosened the wrong bolt and must undo what you did halfway through. Instead of pulling your arm out, changing the direction, and finding a way back in, you flip the switch and fix it there.

Finally, the tool’s material has a sleek chrome finish. This ratchet can handle a rough garage and still come out shiny. With the chrome, it can get covered in oil and wipe off, giving your tools and shop the professional look that customers want.

Let’s Talk About Sockets

How often can you not find the right socket for your project? The socket is just as crucial as the ratchet itself; no work can be done without it. No work will get done without seeing the right one for the job. Milwaukee wanted to help solve that issue by engraving it into the socket.

Unless you can estimate the size of your sockets, having these easy-to-feelings and seeing numbers makes picking out the right one a breeze. Engraved to two of the flat sides of the sockets is the size of that one, providing visible information. So, instead of flipping out each one to check the size, you can pick the one you need.

What’s In the Box (Case)?

You will have a different measuring system or both, depending on your kit. Regardless, for each kit, you receive the ratchet itself, an assortment of standard sockets, deep well sockets, and accessories for the ratchet, along with the case. As accessories go, you receive a 3” and 6” extension, a universal joint, a removable inner storage tray, and a bright red tool case.
