Review: Should have bought these a LONG time ago!! Awesome tools!! - Bought the 1/4" drive and 3/8" drive ratchets a few months ago. Very pleased and extremely happy with purchase. I am a mobile diesel mechanic and had purchased quite a few of the NiCad battery tools years ago. I was very displeased with those tools, battery time, and always seemed to be purchasing new batteries to replace the old ones that didn't last. These ratchets have brushless motors and the batteries last a long time, only take about an hour to charge, are ruggedly built. Slim profile, plenty of torque for removing and tightening fasteners, have a built in light to illuminate where you trying to get the socket. They've take a few falls after rolling off loader tires or being dropped from the top of an engine. Nice to not to have to drag or manipulate an air hose into the tight spot behind an engine. I also purchased the right angle M12 drill for drilling out broken bolts behind the engine block and frame. That too, has performed very well!! I'll be buying more of these tools in the future!! July 7, 2019-Tools still going strong and performing awesome!! Nothing broken, plenty of drops, falls, and kicks while being used daily. I did purchase the M12 XC6.0 batteries and use those almost exclusively on the ratchets instead of the standard 2.0 M12 batteries. The 2.0 batteries are only used for the lights now, unless the big battery won't fit into a tight space on the ratchet. A well built and rugged tool for sure!! No regrets here and no problems...batteries or tool.
Review: What a tool. - This is an incredible tool. It is built really well, has proven to be very durable, and is the perfect size to fit into tight spaces. This make engine work a breeze, and it really excels in confined spaces. I used this this tool for everything from equipment uncrating, to electrical installations and automotive work. It’s a time saver, a wrist saver, and I highly recommend it. Batteries seem to last a long time in this thing as well!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it more durable than the older 3/8.  I bought the older version on Saturday and it broke today after 4 days of use!!**
A: I own them both, I bough this one thinking there would be a big difference in power but it's not much, the old one I have is still working and son is the new one, I use them pretty often but only for lite stuff because they are both weak in comparison to their pneumatic predecessors

**Q: Es un taladro o una rache?**
A: Es lo que diche el!!

**Q: Do I need to use impact sockets with this or can I use regular sockets?**
A: Using chrome or regular sockets is just fine. A ratchet whether it's hand, pneumatic, or electric steadily and consistently applies torque through the socket. An impact gun or driver on the other hand has an anvil and a hammering mechanism. It's the hammering action of an impact that delivers a lot of shock to the socket and with chrome/regular sockets being more hard/brittle than imapct sockets is why it's recommended to use accordingly.

**Q: I can keep it from spinning with two fingers and I am not a super strong. Is that normal? I guess it is just for spinning a lose nuts and bolts.**
A: It's easy to hold when using  although obviously much larger than a normal ratchet .  It's got a good amount of torque but I usually use it  manually to break the bolt loose first and then use the electric  action to spin it off. It's a really great tool
