I bought the older version on Saturday and it broke today after 4 days of use!!** A: I own them both, I bough this one thinking there would be a big difference in power but it's not much, the old one I have is still working and son is the new one, I use them pretty often but only for lite stuff because they are both weak in comparison to their pneumatic predecessors **Q: Es un taladro o una rache?** A: Es lo que diche el!! **Q: Do I need to use impact sockets with this or can I use regular sockets?** A: Using chrome or regular sockets is just fine. A ratchet whether it's hand, pneumatic, or electric steadily and consistently applies torque through the socket. An impact gun or driver on the other hand has an anvil and a hammering mechanism. It's the hammering action of an impact that delivers a lot of shock to the socket and with chrome/regular sockets being more hard/brittle than imapct sockets is why it's recommended to use accordingly. **Q: I can keep it from spinning with two fingers and I am not a super strong. Is that normal? I guess it is just for spinning a lose nuts and bolts.** A: It's easy to hold when using although obviously much larger than a normal ratchet . It's got a good amount of torque but I usually use it manually to break the bolt loose first and then use the electric action to spin it off. It's a really great tool ## Frequently Bought Together - Milwaukee 2557-20 M12 Fuel 3/8" Ratchet (Bare Tool) - Milwaukee 48-11-2450 12V Lithium-Ion High Output 5Ah Battery Pack (G0803029) - Milwaukee 48-11-2420 M12 REDLITHIUM 2.0 Compact Battery Pack (1-Pack) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/271902137-electric-tools-corp-2557-20-m12-fuel-ratchet-bare-tool](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/271902137-electric-tools-corp-2557-20-m12-fuel-ratchet-bare-tool) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-23*
