I'm looking to buy a right angle 1/2" ratchet impact wrench for my truck to use alongside my new high torque impact wrench. My goal is to work on the truck's suspension components, which are about 20 years old and have some surface rust. I also need something that can handle tough bolts in tight spots and aid in engine tear-downs. I only require the tool and battery, but I'm okay with selling a charger if it comes bundled, since I already have a charger that works for dual battery ports. Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

For your needs, I recommend sticking with Milwaukee tools, especially the impact wrenches. They're reliable and pack a punch when it comes to breaking loose rusted bolts. You’re on the right track looking for something that pairs well with your high torque wrench.
It sounds like you're looking for a right angle impact wrench rather than a traditional ratchet. Personally, I use a 1/2 inch anvil with my high torque setup, and it works wonders for those tight bolts. Just make sure you get something with enough torque to handle those rusty bolts. Good luck!
Yeah, definitely go for an impact wrench! It'll save you a lot of hassle with those tough spots.
True that! Milwaukee has a great reputation for durability, especially with their impact tools.
