THEY DIDN'T TELL US! Milwaukee Extended Handle and Stubby 90T Ratchets Review

[@wilsonocasio8884]

I’m so impressed with what Milwaukee tool is doing. Their electric impact tools are the best and now tool boxes, under hood lights , ratchet and hand tools. The industry as change , in the 90’s and early 2000’s a hundred hour week was nothing and you didn’t mind paying 300 bucks for ratchet. Now if you make 40 hours is like hitting the Lottery so , it’s nice to see good tools at affordable prices.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

It's obvious, you have been around the industry for a few years. You are correct, it's hard to afford to just throw money at tools today. Always need to search for the best value of performance for the $$. Thanks for watching.

[@jl9362]

Thanks for this, never would have dreamed of applying that much torque to a ratchet at any of these 3 sizes. Milwaukee under priced these (will be getting all 3) but they definitely overpriced their flex head ratcheting wrenches. Their pricing structure across the board is confusing to say the least.

[@Houstonruss]

This makes me feel better about dropping 800 on the mechanics toolset from Milwaukee. Better than tooltruck isn't what i'd expect but I'll take it!

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Thanks for watching.

[@judson3680]

Looks to me that the stubby 3/8 mechanism can possibly fit in the 9 inch 1/4 drive body

[@case8309]

I was wondering that myself. I hope the come out with a stuby flex 3/8 that is as short as the 1/4

[@rodneymattinglyjr7239]

Someone has already put the 3/8 into the 1/4 stubby

[@gmctech]

I think the folks at Milwaukee wake up every day and ask themselves how they can hand Snap-On their asses today... Milwaukee is just flat out dominating the tool industry and advancing their tool lineup leaps and bounds above every competitor.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

They definitely seem to continually innovate and push the boundaries. Thanks for watching.

[@BenVanAmburg]

Amazing news I always wanted more milwaukee hand tools

[@rubenpatino1473]

Those orings are going to be a game changer !!! They’re going to last much much longer

[@mikedelgado8460]

I think @ProjectFarm tested the 1/2 Milwaukee ratchet to fail at over 300ft lbs. I was so impressed with it I now own all three socket and ratchet sets. Today I just ordered the 1/4 stubby from home depot with a $25 gift my brother got me for fathers day. Could have used it a few weeks ago but the opportunity will arise again!

[@ginopumadera4265]

Love the extendeds !!! Stubbies look super practical !!! Great motivation and coverage !!!!

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Glad you like them! Thanks for the kind words and for watching.

[@malan828]

Man that ratchet was bending and didnt snap! I just bought me a bunch of these Milwaukee hand tools and love the feel so far!

[@lelandmason5760]

Those internals look almost verbatim to the Carlyle 90 tooth A models (the A models have T9 torx bits instead of a snap ring) with the three gaskets, direction selector retaining pin and the pawl design

[@DropThatBeatNubs]

I see you with these frequent uploads let’s go!!!!!!!

[@Tiovergudo]

I have a similar set up but with gearwrench and i love the extended length.

[@willyjilly9684]

They all look great but that little stubby really takes the cake 👍

[@keyakku935]

I can't wait to see how milwaukee nails flex head ratchets or even roto headed ratchets

[@ToxicityAssured]

I went by Advanced Auto today and picked up a three pack (1/4, 3/8 and 1/2) of the new Diehard ratchets. All were very dry inside and got the full treatment. They are identical on the inside to Milwaukee. The pawl on the Diehard has less writing but they are the same shape. Both are laser etched on the head and both have the same pawl. Both have all the seals and same switch design. Both have the anvil that seats into the head and pin like pawl spring thing. Milwaukee does have a unique handle design. The comfort grip Diehard have very nice handles too tough. Diehard has no stamped markings at all.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Thanks so much for letting us know. We will definitely have to check this out.

[@jacob2483]

I have the 3/8 and 1/4 from the sets and they are nice but I just use comfort grips. I’m young and plan on saving my body for the future. Comfort grips, knee pads, ear protection, glasses, power tools, and gloves. Chrome is easy to clean and looks nice but I’d rather save my hands.

Bro, how in the hell do I miss this video!!! These ratchets look awesome!

[@renorailfanning5465]

As a DYI mechanic, who will not be doing any engine rebuilding or suspension work, do you think the regular 3/8th ratchet set will be good enough ? I was thinking of getting the 1/2 set but now I'm debating getting the 3/8 extended ratchet to go along with my 3/8 set. The length of the regular 1/2 and the extended 3/8 are the same.

[@victoraleman31]

Milwaukee bring out the flex heads and comfort grips!

[@jasonfisher84]

The o-rings are a great feature to see

[@JoeRogansGutBiome]

Imperial unit of measurement is completely based on Metric unit. Which means we should also completely switch to metric only

[@richardlong9877]

That 3/8 in the 1/4 body is cool.

[@prevost8686]

It would be nice of Milwaukee to offer a bundle deal for those of us who would buy all of the ratchets at once. I know that Milwaukee is listening but it’d be nice if they responded.

[@gtcam723]

Wish they had replacement plates and anvils for available. Lol

[@pontiaced25]

Great Video Tim! BTW What are those yellow "grippy" gloves you wear? I've been wanting to find something new for in the shop.

Damnit I just bought snap on extended 3/8 and 1/2 ratchets. I like snap on though. They make great ratchets. I have a Milwaukee 3/8 standard length ratchet and it’s not my go to ratchet unless I need something shorter than my snap on 3/8 ratchet, but I do like the milwaukee ratchet I have, seems to be built really well and is well built.

Flex head Milwaukee please!! With maybe a comfort grip!! Would go right next to my Kobalt ;)

[@frankieruffino4520]

These are looking really nice but to compete in the mechanics world they’ll have to come out with a soft grip and a flex with possible lock to the flex. Excited to see what the future has to bring

[@PatriotPaulUSA]

I wonder who is making all these Taiwanese hand tools for Dewalt, Milwaukee, etc. The biggest problem I see with all these new brand names besides availability, is getting them warrantied and wondering weather they will be making hand tools with their name on them in 5 - 10 yrs. That said these do look like a very nice ratchet, and for once it doesn't have that awful snap on style round handle grip.

For that money, your better off with Carlyle, Gearwrench or Tekton I'd say...

[@jameselam8263]

Not really. Tests show all those fail at a lower torque rate than Milwaukee. The long term durability I'm not sure of but they are all lifetime warranty.

[@FusionBoost2.0]

@@jameselam8263 their all within spitting distance of each other, and Tekton I think it's the strongest of the bunch even though the internals in all these Taiwan ratchets are basically the same. One test does not mean anything though in reality... Plus Milwaukee the Gearwrench and Carlyle will be more easily warrantied IMO... Every town has a Napa basically and more stores sell Gearwrench then Milwaukee... And Tekton well take a picture, boom new ratchet in 2 days.
