Milwaukee's model numbers matter: 3059 is the 3/8-inch ratchet and 3058 is the 1/4-inch ratchet
Milwaukee's official announcement lists the 3055-20 as the 1/2-inch extended-reach ratchet at $279, 300 RPM, and up to 80 ft-lbs. The 3059-20 is the 3/8-inch bare tool at $279, 400 RPM, and up to 70 ft-lbs; the 3059-21 kit is $379. The 3058-20 is the 1/4-inch bare tool at $279, 550 RPM, and up to 45 ft-lbs; the 3058-21 kit is $379. The 3/8- and 1/4-inch kits include a 2.5Ah battery and charger. All three use Milwaukee's M12 platform and include modular button and paddle trigger caps.
The family is easier to choose once the model numbers are straight. The 3055 prioritizes torque for larger fasteners, the 3059 balances speed and torque for common automotive work, and the 3058 trades torque for 550 RPM in tighter, smaller-fastener jobs. Local stock is still worth checking, but the official announcement supplies the missing price and performance figures for every drive size.

Torque, speed, and fastener access: The 1/2-inch model carries the highest torque, the 3/8-inch model is the broad middle ground, and the 1/4-inch model is the fastest and lightest. Those are official published specifications, not a hands-on comparison of stall behavior or runtime.
- How broadly are the 3058-20 and 3059-20 stocked at local retailers?
- How do the three tools compare on battery runtime and sustained load in independent use?
Check local stock first if:You need a particular drive size immediately; Milwaukee's announcement confirms the tools, but retailer inventory varies by location.
Choose by fastener size if:The published speed and torque match your work: 3055 for 1/2 inch, 3059 for 3/8 inch, or 3058 for 1/4 inch.
