Here are 3 tools that’ll step up any home mechanic’s game. These game-changing tools will make the self-taught mechanic feel and look like an expert mechanic.

Now I am quick admit that I am no gear head. In fact, my mechanical skill level is at a beginner level at best. However, I’ve been learning a lot from the ToolBox Dude and my brother- in- law who is a mechanic about basic things I can do to service my own vehicle and lawnmower. And recently I’ve had the opportunity to test out these 3 tools that I’ve found to be game changing mechanical tools that have definitely made me feel like a boss. Hahaha.

OK, Let’s jump into it.

To check out additional tool reviews consider the review of the Milwaukee M18 PACKOUT™ Radio/Speaker with Built-In Charger and Review of the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 16 in. 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Battery Brushless Cordless Chainsaw

Milwaukee 3/8 in. Extended Reach Ratchet Kit

The Milwaukee M12 FUEL 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 3/8 in. Extended Reach Ratchet Kit with One 2.0 Ah Batteries is not your grandpa’s old ratchet set. This game changing mechanical tool has power and is made to handle it. This cordless tool can go toe to toe with any pneumatic ratchet in performance, achieving up to 55 Ft-Lbs Max Torque. And it’s durable.

Other Features

Other features of the Milwaukee M12 FUEL 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 3/8 in. Extended Reach Ratchet include:

• Its design gives it the longest reach in tight spaces. It’s 11″ in. length from the anvil to the hand.
• This rather has a Variable Speed Trigger for more control.
• And the REDLINK plus intelligence prevents damage to the tool and battery due to overloading or overheating.

I used this tool to remove and reinstall the blade of my lawnmower so I could sharpen the blade. And the Milwaukee M12 FUEL 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 3/8 in. Extended Reach Ratchet made this less of a chore. I was done in no time and back to cutting my grass.

Milwaukee Cordless 1/2 in. Impact Wrench with Friction Ring Kit

No. 2 on my list is the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 1/2 in. Impact Wrench with Friction Ring Kit With Two 5.0 Ah Batteries. The M18 ½” HTIW KIT is a beast. This is a professional grade impact Wrench for sure. You will never need another pneumatic wrench in your life with this tool. I felt stronger using this impact wrench. Hahaha.

The bolt removal mode provides maximum nut-busting torque to break fastener free, then slows its down to 750 RPM for more control when removing fasteners.

I love it. I removed my car’s tire in record time. I’d never been able to remove a tire so fast until this tool. Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 1/2 in. Impact Wrench with Friction Ring Kit comes with:
