Yep... once you buy one you're locked in. The last thing I need in my life is another battery charger on my work bench.

The tools often seem like the loss leader for the batteries...$$$

My Milwaukee impact uses the M18 Fuel batteries (and I don't even know what the difference is between Fuel and not-Fuel that Nick referenced earlier) was my first Milwaukee system product and it came with an M18 Fuel battery and charger.

More recently, I bought a Milwaukee M12 air compressor (which, by the way, is also quite awesome) and it came with two M12 (dunno if they're Fuel) batteries and a charger.

Two different batteries and two different chargers, right? No! Wrong!

The charger that came with the impact does both M18s and M12s. So, that's cool.

Right. Given the love for power ratchets, and my ability to reuse the charger, I might give the baby M12 power ratchet a try.

Man I wish I could get my money back for that big POS one though.

Milwaukee makes an M12 electric ratchet and an M12 FUEL electric ratchet. The FUEL one is slightly more powerful, REALLY heavy in the hand, and a lot bigger. Basically, it’s stupid and self defeating.

Someone on eBay might give you a few bucks for it.

Think I'm putting electric ratchets on my xmaskah list.
