Our Take

Best for: Mechanics and DIYers needing a compact ratchet for tight spaces.

The Milwaukee 2457-20 is a sub-compact ratchet that excels in tight spaces like engine bays. Its low profile head and recessed forward-reverse switch make it easy to maneuver without accidental direction changes. The onboard fuel gauge and LED light add convenience, while Redlink Intelligence protects the tool and battery from overload. At just 35 ft-lbs of torque and 250 RPM, this ratchet is best for lighter fastening tasks, not heavy lug nuts. The tool-only nature means you need a Milwaukee M12 battery and charger, but if you already invested in the M12 system, this is a practical addition at a great price. With a 48% discount, this is a solid deal for mechanics and DIYers who need a compact, reliable ratchet for confined spaces.

Price Analysis

At $87.99, this is 48% off the original $169 list price. It's a significant saving for a tool-only ratchet, especially if you already own M12 batteries. This price is well below typical retail and makes it a smart buy.
