I could see situations where I would want to torque bolts manually.** A: Yes, this can be used without a battery using your own strength. It's reliable and the battery last forever. It's not a power house at 35 foot pounds of torque, but I break nuts and bolts lose manually and then use the ratchet's battery power. I use it daily in my automotive shop. **Q: Can this be used as a typical ratchet once battery has torqued as much as it can on it's own?** A: According to Milwaukee, yes, you can apply up to 50 ft-lbs of force while using it as a ratchet without risking any damage to the tool. **Q: I bought one--the ratcheting mechanism is tight; it does not want to ratchet. Also, direction switch is hard to use. Does it loosen up with use?** A: the switch on the last 3 I've do the same thing. very hard need plyers to switch directions ## Frequently Bought Together - Milwaukee 2457-20 M12 Cordless 3/8" Sub-Compact 35 ft-Lbs 250 RPM Ratchet w/ Variable Speed Trigger - Powerextra 2 Pack 12V 3000mAh Lithium-ion Replacement Battery Compatible with Milwaukee M12 48-11-2411 48-11-2420 48-11-2401 48-11-2402 48-11-2401 12-Volt M12 Cordless Tools - ANTRobut 2 Pack 3500mAh Replacement Lithium 12V Mil-Waukee M 12 Battery + Rapid Charger for Mil-Waukee M 12 Battery Charger --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/292360857-2457-20-m12-cordless-3-8-sub-compact-35-ft](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/292360857-2457-20-m12-cordless-3-8-sub-compact-35-ft) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
