Hey everyone! I noticed that M12 ratchets on Amazon are significantly cheaper than anywhere else, sometimes by about $50. This price difference makes me really wary about whether they might be fake. I'm not too concerned about warranties, but I'm curious if there's a way to verify their authenticity before purchasing. Any thoughts?

That’s a clever idea! But I think you might be wondering how to actually pull that off when you return the set? My assumption is they normally wouldn't let you keep one tool from a kit. You might want to just check their return policy or ask at the store; sometimes, they have different rules for returns.
It's true that Amazon isn’t an authorized reseller for Milwaukee tools, which means you won't get any official support or a guarantee that what you get isn’t counterfeit. Right now, if you head over to Home Depot, they have a deal where you can get the M12 install driver along with a free M12 ratchet for around $200. An interesting strategy is to buy that and then return the install driver, keeping just the ratchet, which may end up costing you about $85 after the refund.
