Hand ratchets are tried & true, no doubt. But disassembly is where battery tools really shine (I still finish tighten by hand). I have 2 drawers in my tool box with different Pneumatic tools that are fast becoming dinosaurs. Sucks cuz they weren't cheap at the time. Progress??

Think I'll retire to a glass of Bulleit. Peace out

I had not used my pnumatic impact wrench in ages until recently when I swapped out all the lugnuts in my Raptor. The crappy OEM ones with the coke bottle thick aluminum cap at swelled to a different than stock size. Used my pneumatic with one side socket and my cordless electric with the other for quick removal and installation of the new lugs. I was pretty shocked that the electric was actually more powerful than my particular pneumatic model.

I’ll post a photo as soon as I can but it’s essentially the size of a small toolbox and everything tucks away inside it. Very portable

between torque wrenches and impact drivers who needs a cordless rachet??
I’ve got the Milwaukee cordless ratchet and sometimes it comes in handy with some tight spaces where the impact driver can’t fit or annoying spots where you can only tilt a regular ratchet a few clicks at a time

Fair enough. I'd consider getting one after having the previous three already then. The usefulness
of the cordless ratchet is too limited.

having said that this is the smart move:

why invest in a cordless ratchet by itself that has very limited uses when you can buy an attachment for a far more useful tool at a cheap price??

I love all of Milwaukee tools and have a combo of their M18 and M12 stuff. Have had most of them for over 10 years and still perfect. Have yet to find a lug nut the Impact could not take off. I bought a number of the pieces from CPO. IMG_0302.jpg
