Story briefMilwaukee Tool
Milwaukee publishes the full price and specification set for three M12 FUEL extended-reach ratchets
Milwaukee's official three-model announcement lists each bare M12 FUEL Extended Reach Ratchet at $279. The 1/4-inch 3058-20 measures 15.4 inches, weighs 1.8 lb, spins at 550 RPM, and is rated for 45 ft-lbs. The 3/8-inch 3059-20 measures 16.2 inches, weighs 2.1 lb, spins at 400 RPM, and is rated for 70 ft-lbs. The 1/2-inch 3055-20 measures 16.5 inches, weighs 2.2 lb, spins at 300 RPM, and is rated for 80 ft-lbs. Milwaukee also lists $379 kits for the 1/4- and 3/8-inch versions with an M12 High Output 2.5 Ah battery, charger, and modular button/paddle trigger caps. Protective boots are listed at $29. These are manufacturer specifications and prices, not hands-on measurements. Exact model and kit availability can still vary by seller, so confirm the product status before planning around a delivery date.
The drive sizes share a listed bare-tool price, but they do not do the same job. The 1/4-inch model prioritizes published speed and lower weight, the 3/8-inch occupies the middle specification lane, and the 1/2-inch trades speed for the highest published torque. Existing M12 owners can choose by fastener and access needs; new buyers should compare the bare tool with the two listed kit paths.

Choosing among the three sizes
Published figures: 3058-20 is 1/4 inch, 15.4 inches long, 1.8 lb, 550 RPM, and up to 45 ft-lbs; 3059-20 is 3/8 inch, 16.2 inches, 2.1 lb, 400 RPM, and up to 70 ft-lbs; 3055-20 is 1/2 inch, 16.5 inches, 2.2 lb, 300 RPM, and up to 80 ft-lbs. All three bare tools are listed at $279. The 1/4- and 3/8-inch kits are listed at $379; protective boots are $29.
Market position: The longer neck and low-profile head target recessed automotive and mechanical fasteners. Published speed, torque, length, and weight make the decision clearer than drive size alone, but the numbers do not replace a fit check in the spaces where the tool will be used.
- When will each bare tool and kit be broadly available through authorized sellers?
- Will Milwaukee offer a 1/2-inch kit, or only the 3055-20 bare tool?
Wait if: Your current ratchet already reaches the fasteners you service or the exact model is not available from a seller you trust
Consider a model if: Deep access is a repeated problem, the published drive/speed/torque tradeoff matches your work, and the exact configuration is available
