As a DIY enthusiast, I'm wondering if it's really worth it to invest in the M12 Fuel ratchet over the regular M12. I've heard that the Fuel option has lower torque settings which might be appealing for tightening purposes. What do you all think? Is the extra power needed, or can I get by with the regular?

Consider this: brushless motors like the Fuel version usually last about 10,000 hours, while brushed ones might only go for 1,000 to 3,000 hours. Plus, the Fuel has a torque of 55ft/lbs compared to the regular's 35ft/lbs, which can make a big difference in tough jobs!
I say go for the Fuel! It has adjustable power modes which can really come in handy. Think of it like owning a powerful truck—sure, you might not need the extra strength all the time, but when you do, you'll be glad you have it.
