Milwaukee 2566-20 M12 FUEL 1/4 in High-Speed Ratchet Tool Only

Cordless power for fast fastening

The Milwaukee 2566-20 M12 FUEL high-speed ratchet is a compact, brushless tool-only option that runs on Milwaukee's M12 Li-Ion battery system. Its 1/4 in drive handles quick rotations in tight spaces, letting you work without a cord snaking across the workbench.

Designed for durability and comfortable handling, the ratchet features a rugged powder-coated finish and a balanced, light feel that helps you keep steady control through repeated cycles. At about 1.93 lb, the tool remains easy to maneuver, even when you’re reaching overhead or working in a confined area. This is a tool-only model, so battery and charger must come from your existing M12 collection.
