-------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no need to struggle or question what size Milwaukee M12 ratchet to buy any longer! No need to ask if you should get the 1/4" or 3/8"! The new Milwaukee M12 FUEL INSIDER Extended Reach Box Ratchet includes both and changing them out is very simple.
The Milwaukee M12 FUEL INSIDER Extended Reach Box Ratchet has a low-profile head design that allows sockets & adapters to be inserted directly into the tool. Not only do you get a shorter head profile size, but you also get a ¼” Hex Bit, ¼” anvil adapter, & 3/8” anvil adapter so this can be used as a normal ratchet. The INSIDER delivers the combination of 60 FT-LBS OF MAX TORQUE and 350 RPM’s. That is working hard and fast!
The Box Ratchet 6 Point Sockets are pass through up to 15mm & 9/16” to run nuts on threaded rod and eliminate the frustration of sockets bottoming out. - Jak na to + styl

I don’t think I’ll use the pass through feature much but the interchangeable drives is what made me preorder. Like you mentioned, I was someone who needed an extended reach but couldn’t decide on the 3/8 vs 1/4.
Buying this kit now! Ive had the 1/4 extended since it came out and its one of my most used tools.
How is the retention with the various drive adapters?
Looks very VERY useful! It could have turned my 6 hour dash removal into a 2 hour job 😊
There is also a 1/2" anvil insert available separately. This could be replacing 3 tools instead of 2.
I had just bought the extended reach 3/8 dr for work when they introduced the Insider. I returned it and am awaiting my Insider now. I wish I could have had the option to choose SAE or metric on the sockets. SAE is what I use for work so I had to buy the SAE sockets. Great review, I know I will love this tool!
I think you will like it. In a way it is 2 ratchets for the price of one. They do need to let you choose metric or SAE, but 80 plus percent would probably buy metric.
@@WorkshopAddict most likely but dang it my Chinook is SAE…lol!
Nice tool! Thanks!
Purchased the insider with the metric sockets and the SAE sockets today.
This one is on the list for sure. Since it comes with a set of inserts/sockets, the only additional buy would be the remaining inserts.
10000%
Thanks for the video
😌 Someone just made tool shopping very easy for me.
Finally a useful tool
Just ordered the Insider. I think it's going to be perfect for tight spaces and save me from having to put car front ends into service position to reach a couple of bolts. I was going to get the extened 1/4 but the pass through and low profile and felxibility sold me on this. I have normal M12 Fuel ratches and the one thing I wish they offered on them is some way to control the torque. There are not that many nuts and bolts that I work on that need the full torque this thing can apply. When I first used an M12 ratchet I snapped a few bolts
How is it mate?
I've read that use of the 1/4 and 3/8 anvil adapters is problematic and a bit of a PITA. The pin retention is greater than the retention in the insider head. Meaning whenever you want to switch out your own sockets the whole adapter comes out, then your putting it all back together just for a socket change. One user resorted to using a pocket screwdriver to pry the socket away from the adapter. I'll hang fire for now and see what further reviews say.
*Hang Fire* love it. Drive on King of Battle. Boom, Boom!
One thing I was wondering is can you still use it on long bolts. Like instead of needing a deep dish socket will the bolt pass through the middle or is the socket not hollow??? Thanks
just bought it last week
I had one of those tools but not electric! I ended up loosing some of the inserts and they discontinued the tool along with not being able to purchase separate sockets. Over all it’s a great tool if you don’t loose stuff and always carry the sockets with you but I would rather chose the standard one
Pass thru is crucial for long bolts.
very nice
This is what i had been waiting for
and up to 15mm it is pass thru
Kinda weird up to 15mm is pass thru but the larger sizes arent. Cant figure out why they did that. Would think pa ss thru would be used more in some of the mid-bigger sizes than the really small sizes
@@jacksmith2315has to do with how strong the bits are, the bigger the bit the bigger pass thru hole so the more you remove from the socket the more fragile it is, they played it safe by stopping at 15mm, that and it’s been made in mind of mechanics who don’t usually have that issue
It definitely is worth the money
Did he mention and or does anyone know the head size since i was looking at the astro nano that have a 3/8 drive but a 17mm hex i think may be 19mm but i was just wondering
I really wish they offered an optional set to get smaller sockets for the insider ratchet.
Would definitely buy it if they offered an insider socket set with 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, and 7mm.
They also have now the 1/2" anvil, so now you can have all 3 in one ratchet.
With these higher power ratchets they need to put a 3 speed on it like an impact.
Great idea
custom bits ! the heigh clearance difference between this and my short or long M12 ratchet isn't a big deal. I don't find the addition/upgrade a need for my toolbelt
If the pass-through sockets were 12 points, it would be perfect for me
I’m stuck between this and the 2567-20 High Speed. I dont really need the long neck at this point.
I have the extended high speed (2569-20) and think I’m going to return it to buy this insider. You get everything with the insider. I don’t think I really need the extra speed really it’s not like I’m going to be competing against anybody.
Can you break the bolt then power it out ?
Yes.
Hmm for me the DeWalt wins because 1) cheaper 2) less bulky handle 3) using my own magnetic sockets is useful more often than having a little bit more clearance. The pass-through is nice but can normally be handled by a deep socket.
FINALLY! Put it in our hands already!
as a big bit-holder, the GearWrench PassThru (aka Vortex) stuff still has the advantage.
I have the O-Ratchet from many years ago. Since I don't use it too often it's still like brand new. But yeah, it probably has the ability to use bigger pass through sockets than this Milwaukee. But it's not electric drive, which is huge, so I'll be looking to pick this tool up when it becomes available.
So what happens if you lose that socket set or someone steals it? You’re really boned right?
You can buy everything separately..... This isn't a great argument, and it applies to a lot of kit tools.
If you work with or around thieves reconsider changing job
@@rudy3835 people still get stuff stolen and it’s not from co workers
Just tell the thieve to take the ratchet too. Just say “It’s all or nothing” so you don’t feel that way.
@@DownloaderVideo lmao
So if you haven't bought a ratchet yet is the one to get?
IMHO, Yes. You get everything you need with the insider from 1/4 and 3/8 drive without the bulk of the 3/8 drive. I would not abuse it with large 3/8 sockets when hand tightening, but I would use it the same as normal.
This is very nice....kinda pricey too..however it's worth it IMHO.....
Seems pricey when comparing to other ratchets, but when you get the one wo the battery n charger for around 250, and it comes w sockets and adapters, its actually fairly priced
Does it fit standard pass thru sockets from other manufacturers (craftsman crescent Gearwrench etc…) ??
If they measure 9/16"
THAT 1/4 DRIVE ADAPTER FOR THE INSIDER NEEDS TO BE FLUSH WITH HTE HEAD ...NO ADVANTAGE OVER THE 1/4 RATCHET 🤦♂
I wish you could find this in stock.
Summit Racing just ordered mine says be here in 2 days
@@brentswanson1519how is it, you perfer it over the other ones?
I see you did not show the Hex impact driver socket in this collection. It is nice.
I did show it!
@@WorkshopAddict THANKS again Brother. Love the channel.
I could really use that from time to time.....but $300 bare and $400 kit....yeah....pass unfortunately.
Even if i did spring for it....i can guarantee you it would be locked up and only used quickly and be put away even quicker before my coworkers put 2 and 2 together!!!!!
The jerks won't pay for stuff they destroy....
electrician here: we need SAE to drive nuts up & down all-thread.
There Is and is sold Separately
Exactly my thoughts as a plumber. Pass thru is only up to 14 or 15mm though. I would have thought either all pass thru or more of the bigger sizes than smaller sizes would be more useful as pass thru
You didn't show us the case. No bother, I'll go and it up :-)
The paddle sucks and is the deal breaker for me.
they copied makita?
Makita's isnt pass through or have 1/4 hex. Makita just changes from 1/4 and 3/8. Its also not extended/long neck. Im more of a makita fan than milwaukee, but milwaukee makes better cordless ratchets
@@jacksmith2315 it is pass through (13mm if you remove the insert). I agree otherwise, but we know who had the idea first ;)
Cmon you know you can buy stubby sockets and it’s exactly the same as using the insider
Yes, but the point of this, if you watch for a bit is that you can buy the insider, get the benefit of the stubby if needed AND change from 1/4" square drive to 3/8" square drive and 1/4" hex. Even says it in the title.
Ryobi also introduced a ratchet that you can change out the square drive so you can swap between the 3/8 and 1/4" drives on the same tool.
I love this feature and think it's great because you don't need to buy 2 tools.
This Milwaukee insider ratchet though, is much better. It has more features with the insider sockets, which can be very useful, but also allows you to use traditional sockets as well making it very versatile.
I believe Milwaukee has hit a Home Run with this one so I'll likely be picking one up when it's on sale during the Holidays.
Thanks Brian.
I don't try nor is my intention to bash or say anything against these kind of videos.(no hate at all) just a reality check.
I got all these types of tools and at the end in real life DIY car repair I most, yes MOST of the time end up using conventional wrenches and ratchets. The more they try to sell you that BS that these will work in hard to reach spaces situations the less you will realize you never needed them unless you disassemble half the car parts to fit these stoopid tools.
As an example... if you find a seized bolt that is located in a hard to reach area you need to use a breaker bar but if the breaker bar with the socket doesn't fit you end up using a wrench with some hacking to grab it nice and firm to be able to break that bolt free, oh but now you want to undo that bolt fast then you think about a battery wrench, oh but if the breaker bar didn't fit neither the battery wrench will fit, the real upgrade to release that bolt a little faster is to use a gearwrench. Like I said, unless you remove other components surrounding that bolt then you will be able to use an impact tool and a battery wrench.
Come on, we get the features, now lets see you actually using this to highlight all the weak points you can't see until you use it. Put that thing through the ringer, feature reviews are pointless.
Oh f uck off, just cause you already know all the features...
Not good for Mechanics 🧰
Why
Lol they must not be a mechanic
