Cheapskate's way to a Milwauke 12v Ratchet.

Do you want to get this $200 kit for half off??

I just lucked into it.

I bought the ratchet from this ebay sale for $65. The ratchet is new, out of box. The seller appears to have many of them. It arrived at my home in 3 days.

Then I went to Amazon and bought a Milwauke charger. They have this new, out of box charger for $13. 85% off!!

Then buy 2 aftermarket batteries for $17. I've had great luck with no name batteries for my Milwaukee and DeWalt tools.

Net total is $95. and you end up with 2 batteries. The $200 kit only has 1 battery. All Milwaukee except for the batteries.

You're welcome.

If it's too good to be true, it probably is. I would imagine it was a box that "fell of a truck" somewhere. Ebay is notorious for ORC resellers. I work ORC and we see a lot of this. Especially power tools. Manufacturers are soon going to start "chipping" power tools so that they won't work unless they are passed over the scanners at the home goods stores. Not trying to rain on your parade, but buyer beware.

I've got the ½" version, and I love it.
While I did pretty well sourcing the charger & batteries (not much more than you found,) I paid a helluva lot more for the ratchet!
But, it's for work, so I wrote it off.

So i've been wanting one for sometime now and jumped on this. Tool only unavailable, but found it on Amazon for $89.95, so i got everything from Amazon for roughly $127.00. savings is savings. Since I had Amazon points, it didn't cost me anything.

You can get a Milwaukee ratchet, the 3/8” inch fuel one with the three amp hour battery for 129 bucks.

I have the 3/8 version from China tools (aka Harbor Freight) and it’s possibly the most useful tool I’ve ever bought. I’m sure it was under $100 with battery and charger and I can’t kill it.

I was going to go this way. My use of this tool is not going to be heavy at all. Then I started poking around to see what kind of deals I could scare up and came up with this.

I do not need this, but man do I want it….

 

[Elff]

I have the extended one. I seriously don't know how I lived without one of these for as long as I did.

That rachet is on sale all the time from homedepot. Brought mine on sale for $100 with 2 batteries and charger!

My trusted vendor for Milwaukee tools is https://www.factoryauthorizedoutlet.com/collections/milwaukee-m12

prices are fixed by Milwaukee for the tool price, but this site has more frequent deals which include free batteries or accessories plus free shipping so to me have better deals than Home Depot. Ive bought numerous tools from them, all legit genuine tools. I actually just ordered the 1/2 impact wrench which has a free m12 battery(worth $119) this Labor Day weekend.

Keep in mind the ratchet in the OP is an older, light duty brushed motor model. It's only rated for 35 ft-lbs of torque, and Milwaukee does not recommend manually exceeding that. Milwaukee's newer M12 Fuel version is brushless and rated at 55 ft-lbs of torque, which is in line with a typical 3/8 air ratchet. Also of note is Milwaukee says it's safe to manually exceed that within reason.
