It is $249 retail, but it's currently selling everywhere else for $219 at the moment, so still a decent saving of $50

I have had the 12v version of this since it was released about 7-8 years ago and it has served me well for both work and home, having done up literally thousands of coach bolts and 13mm nuts installing A/C's and brackets.

They share the same maximum torque of 47.5NM which may sound a little low. But this ratchet comes with a 1/4 square drive and a 3/8 square drive which you can swap over, so it caters really well for smaller stuff.

Plus if you need more torque, you can use it as a std non powered ratchet anyway.

Includes:

  • 1 x 3/8" Socket Adaptor (191A50-3)
  • 1 x 1/4" Socket Adaptor (191A51-1)

Features:

  • Narrow head design for access to tight spaces
  • High performance with up to 47.5Nm max. fastening torque
  • Paddle switch design with variable speed control between 0-800rpm\
  • Can bee used as a pass-through ratchet wrench for 13mm nuts or bolts.

Specifications:

  • Voltage: 18V
  • Drive Shank: 1/4" Square, 3/8" Square
  • No load speed: 0 - 800rpm
  • Max fastening torque: 47.5Nm

    This tool is pretty underpowered and also prone to having the ratchet mechanism fail.

    Makita need to make an extended reach one like the other brands.

    I'm a Makita guy, with over 20 Makita 18V LXT skins. But this tool is so old fashioned that I went for the Milwaukee M12 version. Bought a charger and battery off FB, and never looked back for these brushless hand tools.

    • I agree that Milwaukee have the better selection in ratchets, but this was only released 5 years ago:)

        Go and look at the Makita 18V LXT vs the Milwaukee M12 in specs and size. It really makes no sense to prioritise Makita loyalty for this type of tool. This is why I bought into Milwaukee M12 after being with Makita 18V LXT since 2016. Having said that, Makita 18V batteries are better and I still stick to Makita for garden equipment, impact drivers and drills.

        • I think you will be surprised when you see the 12v Makita next to an M12. I have 2 pics linked below.

          I was actually all in on Milwaukee until around 2017 and had the original M12 ratchet for years. It worked just fine.and was compact. The 12V Makita however is a lot slimmer and stuff all longer. And they both had the same 47nm

          My brother had the first of the M12 brushless ratchets and with a 4.0 or 6.0ah battery it was about the same length and even fatter still. The Milwaukee had more power though

          The Makita 12v and 18v are the same dimensions except for where the battery goes, which does make it about 40mm longer

          Here is 2 pics of the two side by side for a review I did of the Makita 12v and the M12 brushless back in 2019.

          • @revheadgl: I have that M12 Fuel 3/8" right angle impact wrench. The difference was that the Makita version was brushed, vs the Milwaukee's brushless, and that the Milwaukee had more torque. Shame that Milwaukee discontinued it, but the long neck version is perfect for automotive work, which is what I use it for.

            • @Sleepycat3: Totally agree that the Makita's needs an update an expansion, but they just seem focused on pumping out the 40V gear.

              It's not so much the Makita is bad, it's just the others are now better. If I was starting again, I would also go the M12.

          • @revheadgl: You're using the wrong battery for the Milwaukee.
            Try 3Ah and you won't go back.

            • @High: They weren't available back when I took those pics, they only had 1.5, 2.0ah and the 4.0 and 6.0. The 6.0ah would last ages, so we used that. We no longer have the Milwaukee though. But thee 3ah would make sense..

  • I’m really holding out until enough of my gear bites the dust so I can kick into the 40v range..

    or just get the ozito one, even cheaper.

    • I have one of those as well. It's a bargain at its full price.
