Battery Operated Ratchets

I have a few air ratchets and I hate them. The air hose is a pain in the azz and they are slow. I do not have high end ones. I got an email about some 12 volt ones from Milwaukee and watched this video.



They seem nice, but I do not want to invest in more shit tools.

I can get a pretty nice ratchet for $175......

Milwaukee 2457-21 3/8-in Cordless M12 Lithium-Ion Ratchet Kit

They look cool, but are they really as fast as they say?

I'll be curious to hear what you think about them a few years down the road.

Go and check the ones they have at Home Depot , like DWALT , Millwakey Makita ,,but make sure they are 1/2 drive , those little buggers will strip , snap your bolts if you stay on it longer than needed

Just make sure you look for the ones that comes with a 3Amp battery ,mast way longer on one charge
