Who's happy with their cordless ratchet?

Milwaukee has my vote. I have the stubby impact and ratchet. Use both all the time. Very efficient little tools for being on the 12V platform.

Milwaukee did however just come out with this new impact ratchet. Might be worth looking into depending on your needs.

I have that stubby 3/8 impact too. Really nice and gets into some pretty tight spots. It runs circles on the old Snap-On 3/8 impact i used for years, but that was a pre-lithium battery tool. Milwaukee has really upped their game.

All of my ratchets - 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" and also my two torque wrenches - are cordless.
I move my hand, they click.
They are all over 30 years old, and one is at least 40 years old.
Foolproof.
Perfect results every time!

But, how do you charge them??? Do they all use the same power source?

Just make sure you buy brushless.

I agree with @Ruger. I don’t want to crap on this thread but I believe than hand ratchets are the best. Smaller, more adaptable, don’t have to worry about batteries etc.

I have heard from others that Milwaukee is the way to go.

Not crapping on the thread at all, I partly agree with you. I had a pneumatic I used occasionally, but started having issues with it. So using just standard Snap-On 3/8 almost all the time forever. Some of the things on the truck, like dropping the skid plate, would be really nice to do it with power.

Love that stuff.

and damn you guys for spending my money again. I’ve resisted lights and suspension stuff and intercoolers and all kinds of stuff. Now you gotta go and start the power tool stuff.

You have to be careful removing the skid plate (with power). Those damn nut clip thingys like to break.
