Long review: Great tool as are most Milwaukee power tools I have owned. This tool isn't going to do anything you can't already do with a normal ratchet or even a power drill with a 3/8 inch socket adapter, but man it is such a time saver. It is just handy to have this dedicated socket power tool. I thought I would just use this for working on cars, tractors, or other machinery. However, it is so handy, I have it in my general handyman tool tote with a small socket set. It saves so much time on all kinds of little projects. I just used it the other day to disassemble a bed frame that uses about 6 inch lag screws. It turned a 10-15 minute job into a 5 minute job. Zips those screws or nuts right out or off. Battery life seems good. It has a light on it that I do find handy sometimes. It is like a two stage trigger. Pull it a little and the light turns on without the tool running. Pull the trigger further and the tool runs. The tool seems to have good torque. It isn't going to break rusty or really tight bolts. It isn't an impact wrench. However, the tool is built to allow the user to use it like a ratchet to break loose the nut or tighten it at the end. I have found that it works fine for most nut/bolts I encounter, but obviously you have to get a regular ratchet to break the nuts loose sometimes. It seems plenty durable for the DIYer or farmer or similar use. I can't attest to how it would hold up in a professional setting. I also, can't say how it compares to an air ratchet as I have never owned one. I use this tool for DIY home use/handyman use/farm work/DIY mechanic work. It has held up well so far. The one negative is the price of Milwaukee power tools. They are good tools, but I think you probably pay extra for the brand name. Other cheaper brands usually work just fine. However, I try to stick to one or two brands so I don't have a bunch of different batteries and chargers. Bottom line is I find it handy and a durable tool for a DIY type of person. Not sure how it would hold up to every day professional use. ## Frequently Bought Together - Milwaukee 2457-21 3/8-in Cordless M12 Lithium-Ion Ratchet Kit - Powerextra 2 Pack 12V 3000mAh Lithium-ion Replacement Battery Compatible with Milwaukee M12 48-11-2411 48-11-2420 48-11-2401 48-11-2402 48-11-2401 12-Volt M12 Cordless Tools - Milwaukee Genuine OEM 48-59-2401 M12 Lithium Ion 12 Volt Battery Charger w/LED Indicating, Red --- ## 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/554514025-milwaukee-electric-tool-2457-21-cordless-ratchet-kit-12-v](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/554514025-milwaukee-electric-tool-2457-21-cordless-ratchet-kit-12-v) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-27*
