MAKE the SWITCH! Ratchet Knob V2 for Milwaukee FUEL & Snap-on Ratchets

[@mattblvck6540]

Hoping there will be a v3 to be compatible with the protective boot

[@Jasonitodd]

You just saved me some money, i was about to go buy a couple till i read your comment. I run covers on all my ratchets, thanks for the save

[@MarzNet256]

Very cool, but looks like it won't work with a boot. Also, they should print on/off arrows on it.

[@StreetRocketJoe]

Make a v3 that is boot compatible and I'll buy 4 immediately.

[@freshkryp69]

I need a lower profile tapered knob..

[@richb2229]

I have a new Milwaukee extended ratchet. Looks like this would be a good option for it.

When are you getting the new Milwaukee m12 stubby 550 torque for testing?

[@kylefowler5082]

At the 1:51 mark you said these knobs are only for the FUEL ratchets however according to the website they say "The MW-2™ Magnetic One Finger Reversible Ratchet Knob™, made for Milwaukee high speed and brushed ratchets." I specifically have the 2457-20 and it lists the MW-2 knob as compatible with it. Anyways I ordered one with the link you provided. I'm always paranoid that I'm going to be careless and jam the ratchet up against something and be unable to switch the ratchet direction. Hopefully with this maybe I'll be able to switch the direction with the knob and avoid that nightmare lol. As always thank you for the videos!

[@markEs8702]

Same here. Did you buy it? Dies it work in that scenario?

[@kylefowler5082]

@@markEs8702 I did order it and it fits like a charm.

[@markEs8702]

Ok. But say it backs itself in a corner can you still operate the switch?

[@kylefowler5082]

@@markEs8702 you can push the knob with a screwdriver from the side to change direction and it doesn't pop off. I haven't straight up jammed my ratchet to see what happens however. I think if you really screw up and jam the ratchet you're in a heap of trouble either way as the entire head of the ratchet would be pinched in position. The knob would be handy in a situation where you realize you need to change direction and can't access the recessed direction lever but you haven't pinned the head of the ratchet yet.

I’ll be ordering some so DO NOT DISCONTINUE THEM !!!!!

[@aphleesegurtra2820]

how about the insider ratchet?

[@CarlKahler]

Wont work with protective cover.

[@JetLagRecords]

Shop Tool Reviews, wanna collab I loved it

[@markEs8702]

Meh i live in the uk and and it would cost a lot for me to import it so il give it a miss. Il just carry on being extra carful when extracting long bolts in tight positions 😂

[@25kmgb]

Purchased based on your video demo

[@cybergrindin]

I have a protective boot tho

[@paulmendenhall5226]

Will it work if you have a boot on the ratchet

[@jamesrahn8339]

They have been sold out since the first video you posted

[@bossmanz28]

Not tryin to hate jus curious why dewalt is the only 1, at least i know of, to put a normal ratchet lever style switch on their new cordless ratchets? Its like the design was their from normal hand ratchets. I dont get it

[@rolandm9750]

Only the DCF500 and DCF510 "Sealed Head" ratchets have this design. All the other [DeWalt] ones are similar to this with a "turney knob" in the centre. The reason is the way the traditional power ratchets work--they swing the mechanism in the head back/forth to perform the ratcheting, so that's really the only place to put the switch on is there to change the ratcheting "output" direction. The DeWalt "sealed head" ratchets have a completely different design than most power ratchets, so this is how they accomplished that. Matco also makes one with a similar switch, which is actually rather huge (the switch I mean, not the ratchet). If you go look at the TTC video covering the Matco ratchet you'll see how the design is quite different than most power ratchets as they show the exploded view/animation.

[@bossmanz28]

@@rolandm9750 good to know. I guess there was a reason. The switch was a big reason I wanted to upgrade to the dewalt 12v ratchet from my 1st gen dewalt 12v ratchet. And the fact the head was more compact and it was 3/8 drive and 1/4 drive. I guess plus the 1/4 hex bit holder but I haven't even used that still but I got the option lol.

It’s play mate not slop…’!

[@zanehaselden5573]

I print these screw buying from these ridiculous overpriced stuff. Costs like $0.10 to print.

[@zanehaselden5573]

Plus mine work on every ratchet that milwaukee makes.
