The Milwaukee product offers 1/4 and 3/8 square adapters and hex driver adapter all included, with 1/2 square adapter available. there is a SAE low profile pass-thru socket set available.
Hoping they’ll release the 1/4” hex bit driver style anvil or collet for the 510 as well, Not only that I’d like to see them release a protective boot for it, sealed head or not those boots really keep a tool looking damn near new and for a tool made to be shoved in tight spots that are filled with metal obstructions everywhere and bumping into things in an engine bay is near unavoidable and especially considering the somewhat new and increasingly visible trend of cordless ratchets retailing near 300$ (particularly the insiders) At that price tag these insider ratchets should have been made with a 17mm outer hex so they could be used with the low profile nano style sockets that everyone’s already got, but ofc both red and yellow come with a “proprietary” design .🤑 My biggest issue is that the anvil (socket adapters on the m12 always come out with the socket instead of releasing it unfortunately and the fact they’re not all pass through sockets past 14 or 15mm I believe. That’s stupid imo overall tho I think the insider is a good idea just gonna take a generation or two to iron out the issues. Just personally, I won’t be paying 300$ to be a what is essentially imo a beta tester for Milwaukee.
It should be noted that the milwaukee product has 1/4” and 3/8” square adapters included, along with a hex bit adapter to transform this tool into a right angle screwdriver - and a 1/2” square adapter is available for $10. This means this one tool can be used with three different socket families plus its included low profile metric sockets (an SAE version is available separately). I view that as a significant differentiator over the DeWalt, which only supports two socket families and no mention of a hex bit driver. I do not consider the max torque advantage of the dewalt as terribly significant in practice, since this is a ratchet not an impact wrench.
Many professional automotive mechanics favor the trigger of the Dewalt over the paddle of the Milwaukee, as paddles can snag on hoses or similar. one can hack the Milwaukee by removing the roll pin securing the paddle and operating the trigger “naked”.
thing you forgot to say about the Mil's is that when you got to thight space the other end where the battery is smaller that the De Walt this can make a noticable difference too !
The dewalt anvils can go through either side so if the battery or trigger are getting in the way, you can put it through the other side to get more clearance, if its an obstruction from socket to tool, not overall space, obviously. Since most ppl use a 4ah or 6ah on the m12 for more run time and bit more power, it doesnt save much room if any because of the square bottom. But yes, with the 2ah, 2.5ah, or new 3ah, thats not an issue since they are the size of the body, but not the most commonly used batteries for the tool for reasons mentioned above.
TERRIBLE and BIASED video! And those inserts are noted to pull out too easily. Run time need to be compared to any battery that can be used. You could use a 5AH on the Dewalt. Try to change the rotation of the Milwaukee ratchet with a pair of gloves on , then do the same with the Dewalt. Almost impossible on the Milwaukee easy on the Dewalt. Dewalt's batteries also have LED lights to show the power level left in the charge.
