You buy the Fuel or the regular one? I’ve been thinking about buying one but can’t justify $300 for the Fuel and if I try to buy the regular one for $100 I feel like I’m making a mistake or being a cheap ass.

I have the regular one and have not a single complaint, I'd love to get the extended handle one eventually. Seriously a life-changing tool IMO, all those tight little places where you can only get a couple of ratchet clicks at a time now come off in seconds without the struggle. Its also great for stuff like shocks bolts, or control arm bolts where there's some tension on the bolt and you usually have to smack it out from the backside. Instead, just put the ratchet on it and it will back them right out. If I have someone wanting me to work on stuff at their house and I don't have the ratchet with me I will go home first to get it because its that helpful.
All right I’m sold, just ordered the regular one. Thanks.

The amazon knock-off m12 batteries are decent if you want some cheap backups. I bought a 4 pack I think for the pricce of a single OEM battery. Of course, the Name brands are better but for the price it's nice to have some extras to run while the good batteries are charging.

The M18 1/2" impact is dangerous it will break any bolt your not careful with and, if your working above your head that mofo is heavy and your weak arms may fail and crash it into your face. Or so I've been told.......
Sometimes my Amazon stuff beats me home and I live in BFE. I'd say the m12 ratchet is almost as life changing as Amazon.
So you'll buy but me the long boi version daddy?

I'll whichever version any of you guys want to
me
I’m glad you said the Amazon batteries are good because I am such a dumb*** I didn’t even realize I bought the bare tool only. I just ordered a 2- pack of 6 aH batteries and charger for less than one Milwaukee 4 aH and charger. I see these have 4.5 stars so hopefully they’re good.
