Heads up for anyone wanting one of these. Ordered last night, the short high speed in kit w/ 2 batts and charger and bag from Summit racing. They had a promo to throw in a third battery, one of the big bottom ones, 4 or 6 I think. $300 hurt but seemed to be the going price for authorized online retailers plus bonus battery so I finally bit the bullet
12/04/24 The 2567 is being sold in a kit with a 3453 1/4” hex impact, 2 cp2.0 batteries and a charger for $199… @ Home Depot. I know they have a 55 ft/lb one out now that’s the same size, but it’s also the same price for a bare tool. I just popped in to get the non-fuel one and this kit was on a shelf, in the impulse purchase/tool overflow area, just below it.
I break bolts loose with a ratchet and then run them out with the cordless ratchet. I have also heard that turning the bolt while pressing the trigger is bad for the cordless ratchet.
Looking at these now. Northern has a deal with ratchet and 1/2” high torque. I’ll check part numbers to make sure I’m not getting an older bin-fuel slower speed model. With so many retailer’s Milwaukee does frustrate customers by using different part numbers and different promos.
Crazy thing right now at homedepot they have the non fuel 3/8 cordless ratchet with a 1/4 hex cordless screwdriver with 1 battery a charger and a pretty big tool bag for only $99 comes out to 107$ after taxes i had to hop on that deal its my first milwaukee tools and i love them
I just got that deal as well! Was thinking about the Fuel version, but that's a minimum of $200, though it comes with an extra battery and an impact drill. For that $100 kit though, you can't go wrong!
As a finer point, many times you purchase from a company and Amazon does the shipping. It may be worth looking to see if the seller is authorized as a Milwaukee dealer.
I was unable to search Milwaukee‘s site of authorized retailers for some of the small third-party sellers on Amazon. I could look through a list of authorized online retailers or search by city for local retailers, but couldn’t find the third-party Amazon seller. I gave up and ordered from Summit racing as they had a promo for a free extra battery
You don’t have 2 out of the 3 that I use the most often. I use that original non-fuel ratchet all the time, but I also use my high speed extended reach a lot, and use my insider ratchet sometimes. I very rarely use the other ones-I do have all of them though, I’m pretty sure. Lots of other comments have said this already, but you don’t need to depress the trigger to use it like a ratchet.
2457 (black top) is the old NON-brushless - 35ft/lb 225rpm. Not worth the price. I agree with you, 2567 IS brushless and the best buy for a 35ft/lb ratchet. The 2565 is a massive 200ft/lb and 3000rpm, its a beast IF you need that kind of torque and rpm range.
Personally I have all these in 1/4 and 3/8 sizes and prefer the brushed 1/4 drive. Why? It is smaller and fits in tighter places. You can argue the 1/4 and 3/8 are the same size in the non fuel, which is true, but once you put a socket on it, 1/4 sockets are smaller! So it fits in tighter spots! I have the 1/2 drive regular fuel as well and use it sometimes on suspension work. As others have stated, these are nut runners, not impacts! The torque ratings really aren’t that important to me. I break things loose with something, either the m12 ratchets themselves (not running of course, an impact wrench of some sort or a breaker bar - then use the m12 ratchet to run the fastener out / off Granted everyone has an opinion and every opinion is valid.. that’s just my 2 cents
Yes, the 2557-20 is a larger head and higher torque than the 2567-20. But the 2567-20 is labeled as 'high speed' and is much faster at spinning off fasteners. It's just not as strong which sometimes can make a difference depending on what you're working on. Thanks for watching! -Dan
Which one did you end up getting so confused I got the 2557-20 but then I saw the 2567-20 has a higher speed. Even thought 2557-20 has a higher torque…
@@blackhawks1870 I got 2567. I figure out, i will be using hand power anyway with any number of tq. So speed won for me. Got it of an ebay new tool only for $122 after tax.
Watch torque test channel, they push the ratchet wrenches to 160+ I saw another channel client graphics push the high torque until it snapped it was over 250.
My 2457 failed after 2-3 months of use. Granted i was probably putting around 50-75 ft/lbs of force on it before the gears inside skipped. It still functioned but would still skip if too much force was applied (20 ft/lbs). After a month of light use the head of it exploded and snapped.
I had the same issue with the non fuel, i went through 3 units until i finally went to the middle fuel but not high speed, great unit but I very much dislike the m12 battery tabs, i have several milwaukee battery's with broken and cracked tabs, they area pain to get off at times, i have dewalt and m18 tools with zero battery issues, nothing broken. Garbage design for the price. Just purchased the new dewalt sealed head 3/8and 1/2 20v, not as comfy to use as the m12 ratchet but overall a much better unit, milwaukee redesign the battery for the m12
NO. Absolutely not! Third party sellers (on Amazon, eBay, etc.) do not offer warrantied tools. Most of these SCAMazon sellers simply buy from authorized stores (or directly from TTI) and "part out" the genuine kits without manufacturer's retail packaging. You likely won't receive an owner's manual or any accessories, either. In other words, you can actually get better prices - with warranty service and owner's manuals plus accessories included - if you buy the same combination kits that the third-party sellers are cannibalizing....
Just bought a 2557 (not in this video) It's the Fuel, brushless, NON-high speed, which is important to have that 55lb ft of torque! The torque is what I wanted, also short reach because the long reach is too long to get inside tight spaces under the hood.
2567 middle one sucks. It can’t even break a normal nut off. Basically the protection mode kicks in too soon. Try the older 2557 is better. Much better since the protection doesn’t kick in so sudden which helps real nuts loose. Good day
You’re using it wrong. An electric ratchet isn’t for breaking fasteners loose. You’re supposed to break it loose by hand then back it off. Let me ask you this… would you put an electric toothbrush in your mouth and expect it to do all the work? There was a sign at an old shop I used to work at that applies here “Equipment has no brain, operator must use own”
@@Volksoner619 Never understood why folks are use these cordless ratchets expecting them to break bolts. "Ratchet" vs "Break" is two different words & they never seem to understand the difference. Glad you explained it for him.
You’re not supposed to press the trigger while using as a ratchet. That’s why it broke
Thank you for the info, I didn't know that about these ratchets. I appreciate you sharing that with me.
Take care,
-Dan the Fix it Man
How would that break it?
how are you supposed to use the rachet if you don't hit the button? kind of defeats the purpose of having a battery powered ratchet.
@@NorthCountryOutlawyou break it first by hand. Then you use the button to quickly loosen the fastener without having to manually ratchet it
@@NorthCountryOutlawu don’t press the button when ur manually ratcheting. To either tighten or loosen.

1:43 that's how you broke. you cannot manually turn it when you engage the trigger. it's either one or the other.
I did the same thing, except I thought I was buying a fuel and it wasn't. Lol still a great tool, I have all of them now.
As a finer point, many times you purchase from a company and Amazon does the shipping. It may be worth looking to see if the seller is authorized as a Milwaukee dealer.
I just tell them that I bought it at Home Depot and lost my receipt so they base the warranty on the manufactured date.

Great video. Helped me make my decision.
Still dont know what fuel charged means.
Thank you for watching!
FUEL just means that it has a brushless motor vs. the brushed motor in the non-fuel versions.
You don’t have 2 out of the 3 that I use the most often. I use that original non-fuel ratchet all the time, but I also use my high speed extended reach a lot, and use my insider ratchet sometimes. I very rarely use the other ones-I do have all of them though, I’m pretty sure.

2457 for 45$ - good choice or not ?
Hey havasu
It is stronger but is not rated 200fp

@@ironbull2003 man that’s a great deal
I wonder how much torque the long reach will take before the body will break. A standard rachet is good for 200+ pounds before damage may occur.
Watch torque test channel, they push the ratchet wrenches to 160+ I saw another channel client graphics push the high torque until it snapped it was over 250.

is the non fuel capable of manual ratchet?
Yes, they all are. Just don't press the trigger when using it as a manual ratchet like I did.

No wonder it broke.
