- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- This Milwaukee M12 1/4" ratchet was purchased broken. The electronics work and the motor spins, but the head does not. We tore it down to find out what it is going to take to get this tool cleaned up, fixed, and operating properly.

Thank You for your video. My M12 ratcher was spinning, just when on load it wouldn't spin/grip. What I did is I didn't dissasembly the head, but dipped the head in cup of solvent (carb cleaner, brake cleaner etc) and spinned it, bunch of old residue, oil came... When cleaned, sprayed light coat of lubricant. Working as it should :)
Thank you very much for your ratchet repair videos! These were perfect for showing how everything works and fits together. I was able to use your videos as a guide to convert my Fuel Extended Reach 1/4 Ratchet (2559-20) into a 3/8 ratchet by just swapping the anvil and pawl with a couple other parts (49-06-2567 & 42-06-1030). It's not high speed like the most recent model but having the smaller head and longer reach with the 3/8 without having to cut, file, or grind was totally worth it
Can you do a video on how you converted the anvil?
@@katobrly9963 I used this video. It's a little confusing but once you get all the parts, you can play around and see which one fits best:

What I suggest, since I use mine every single day, buy some lubricating oil and spray the head while it's spinning about once a month. They become dry and stop because they can't exceed the torque of the stuck head. Keep it lubricated and it will avoid problems.
I've beat one of those up for years but mine still works great! Hope u find your parts
Hi mate thank you for the video
I have same ratchet only six months old.
Symptoms are exactly the same but on mine nothing is broken . I cleaned everything and put it all together. It worked for 5 minutes and now the yok vibrates but it doesn’t turn. Any suggestions??
I found a new M12 ratchet crankshaft on Ebay for 9 bucks. Looks pretty straight forward
Yea? I will have to look again. Thanks for the tip
Thank bro found one 👌🏻
Awesome! Thank you, this is the third ratchet I break the crank on. I wish I had known this before.
Good luck finding that part Doug.
Thanks Dan. Might have found it on ebay, it seems
Well that sucks. Hope you find a used one to help rebuild this one
On Ebay !!

Wow Im late....I just noted you found it
Thank you much! Great tutorial!!!!!
Very good! Just watched a 32 min video that had no mention of the four pistons. Thanks
Shhhh!! The pistons are a secret!
Mopar Nation baby! I see you!
Awesome video! Great demonstration
Hopefully you can find the piece you need cheap. That’ll be a nice score if you do!
Great video man..help. My white lights stay on draing my battery .need your help what can be the issue
That snap ring is not seated in its groove.
I had two “pistons” drop out and disappeared into the abyss. Any chance someone sells just them?
I needed to understand how to rebuild the anvil.THANKS!!!
Pawl not dog ruff ruff
My m12 3/8 just kinda hums when I press the switch.
The way you explain everything, Did you ever do this before ? It looks to me you have certainly done this before, THANKS. HOLY CROW WHEN YOU WERE SWISHING THAT OIL FILTER HOUSING AROUND WITH THOSE PARTS IN THERE IT SOUNDED LIKE FREGGIN ALIENS COMING, HELL MY DOGS KEPT LOOKING & TURNING THEIR HEADS AT THE SPEAKERS. WEIRD FREKIN SOUND THAT WAS.
I just did a lot of research before disassembly. That sounds was friggin weird. haha
does that mean if the head is attempting to move but isnt turning one direction or the other it could be the piston and springs still?
Yes, but could be a lot including just a buildup of dirty grease. Best bet is to get in there. These tools are simple, the issue is usually obvious
@@DEInTheGarage thank you I will try that!
excellant
These tools need to be greased don't they? So greased is only needed at the bottom not where the pistons and springs go?
00:07 Right off the bat that's a 3/8"? This ant looking good.
??
Than that sucks they sure don't make tools to last anymore.
Yea man.. I never would have thought the crank would snap! I was looking at it and it is just sintered metal, not forged which is why it broke.
Your not using the snap ring pliers right.
Thanks a lot man
