The Milwaukee 2457-20 is listed as an M12 cordless ratchet with a 3/8-inch drive and a bare-tool configuration. The source claims a compact form, variable-speed operation and a built-in light for work in confined or dim areas. These details come from the supplied listing and were not independently verified by ToolMaster.
Overview
This ratchet is presented for automotive, maintenance and repair tasks where a cordless tool may be more convenient than a manually operated ratchet or an air hose. The listing identifies a 12-volt motor, a claimed maximum torque of 35 ft-lb and a claimed speed of up to 250 RPM.
Listed features
3/8-inch drive with an M12 lithium-ion battery system; the battery is not included with this bare tool.
Variable-speed metal trigger and a built-in LED light are listed.
The source describes reinforced steel housing and a low-profile head.
The listing gives a length of 10-3/4 inches and a weight of 1.9 pounds.
Who may find it useful
It may suit people handling routine fastening and removal work in engine bays, maintenance areas or other locations where access is limited. Its usefulness depends on having a compatible M12 battery and on whether the listed torque and speed are appropriate for the fasteners involved.
What to check before choosing
- Confirm that the required M12 battery and charger are available separately.
- Check whether the 3/8-inch drive matches the sockets and fasteners used in your work.
- Compare the claimed 35 ft-lb torque and 250 RPM with the task requirements.
- Verify the current dimensions, weight and head-clearance details.
- Confirm the exact battery, charger and accessory compatibility on the current manufacturer or seller page.
Safety and use considerations
Use the correct socket and keep hands, clothing and loose materials clear of moving parts. Secure the workpiece, use appropriate eye protection and follow the tool and battery instructions. Do not rely on a ratchet for final tightening unless the fastener specification and the tool’s capability support that use; verify critical fasteners with the required method.
What remains unclear
The supplied material does not independently establish the actual torque, speed, runtime, charging time, noise, service life, included accessories or current battery compatibility. It also describes the head as 3/4 inch without clarifying whether that refers to head height, clearance or another measurement. Confirm these points on the current manufacturer or seller page.

A practical conclusion
The 2457-20 appears, from the supplied listing, to be a compact M12 ratchet for accessible fastening work where a cordless format is helpful.
