Cheapest Cordless Ratchet on Amazon || 6 Month Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- A long term review of the CHEAPEST cordless ratchet you can buy on AMAZON. This is the ProStormer 3/8 drive, 12v cordless ratchet. Is the Prostormer cordless ratchet the best cordless ratchet for the money or did it fall apart a few months after using it. Although the Prostormer 3/8 drive cordless ratchet did go out to the oilfield with me, it did not see any professional use. We just don't use 3/8 drive ratchets very often out in the field. So most of the testing and use done to this 12v cordless ratchet was at home and I think that was a good thing because it will be the average DIYer that is going to buying a $40 cordless ratchet. As you'll see in this video I used the 3/8 drive Prostormer cordless ratchet for over 6 months actually in a variety of scenarios that allowed me to have a full understanding of the capabilities of this cordless ratchet and give a complete, honest, long term tool review of this tool. I don't think any mechanics will be buying the cheapest tools on amazon for use in their profession jobs but I do think this would make an excellent tool for most homeowners, DIY people, or even your do it yourself enthusiast. This makes it perfect for Brads Workbench since we mostly cater to DIYers and professionals on a budget that realize its the hands holding the tool that makes the tool work or not for the most part.
ProStormer actually has a large number of 20v cordless (really 18v cordless) and 12v cordless tools. I have left some links below to the prostormer 12v cordless ratchet that I have reviewed in this video as well as a link to the Prostormer 12v cordless drill that will accept the same batteries. I don't know if the Prostormer 12v drill is any good or not, this link was just provided for someone that might be on a budget buying cordless tools and also needed a drill. I'm sure it would be good enough for most household demands on tools.

Good review.
No bs talking
No time wasting repeating yourself 3 times
To the point practical review
Thank god you are not one of those idiots reviewing electric ratchet who cry that they can break bolt lose with it because of lack of torque, when this tool is not for breaking bolts lose. That's a job for impact gun
Yes, unfortunately people tend to blame tools rather than their lack of knowledge or improper use most the time
I bought one and use it daily on plumbing jobs. Absolutely love it.
Nice!
This is the kind of content I love seeing. I understand the argument for expensive tools, but this is my kind of tool. Thanks, Brad!
Lol well you've come to the right channel
I wanted to sit there and see if those cordless ratchets on Amazon or Ebay and cheap cordless impact are any good this is great content you should do more reviews
I plan on getting back at it soon 🤙
SOLD!, to the man on the couch drooling over cheap tools. Thanks for nice vid
Lol
Nice overview!
The tool bear..... on my channel?!?!? I better pinch myself 😝 thanks bud
I bought the Kimo 3/8 cordless wratchet Kit on Amazon. Works great. However It got a lot more pricey now. I paid $60, its now up to $90
The Kimo 3302 has been down to $75 with coupon.
Alright the AVE reference and your choice of him making the French ah huh huh huh voice was, well, just outstanding. Cheers.
🤙
“Is it the best, Hell No”. 😂 You crack me up dude!! Great video, awesome review!!
Lol just call it like i see it
Another dang good honest and thorough review Brad. This is helpful to me because i am only a novice DIY er
Thank you. I do my best to consider all applications
Great content brother! Love all the gifs you add in the vids, funny as hell. Keep em comin'
Appreciate it 👍
Oh Brad lol cordless ratchets are an absolute killer I can’t live without mine now, love the long term reviews keep them coming!!
Carolina boots and kimo are next on my radar
Brads Workbench hopefully the kimo doesn’t suck because I want to actually see the video! Lol 😝
The drill has done better than the impact... but thats all im gonna say at this point
Yo Junk! I remember you saying the same thing about blow-up dolls!
🤫😜
Definitely worth the money, I don't think most diyers know what a game changer these are! The only thing I don't like about the husky is you can't change the batteries.
Very true
I’ve had my Milwaukee gen1 ratchet for almost 3 years with heavy use and it is finally starting to act up. I fortunately have my receipt so I will be sending it out for warranty soon.
Id like to have that long neck version
Nice no nonsense review. To the point with a good description of the features.
Thank.u
U did well on your review. I need one. Thank u.
Great video and honest opinion on how you liked this ratchet. I just picked up M12 for $75 last week now I’m looking for something to use it on. 😂
Damn good deal 👍
I have the “upgraded” version of the same prostrormer cordless ratchet, I bought it at the beginning of this year, and it’s been great too. I don’t have anything negative to say about it
Good to hear. The flat batt pack style? I saw that but preferred the slimness of the torpedo batt
@@BradsWorkbench Yeah its the flat battery style one. I liked it because of its longer design which allows for more reach in tight spaces
Ahhh good point
Excellent idea for installing t-nuts.
Yea i think it takes a bit longer but i think it secures thems a little better and u dont risk smashing ur mdf
I can certainly see why the wife would like it. She's probably got plenty useful attachments for self maintenance.
LMFAO! This explains so much now! 🤣
I have both the Milwaukee 3/8th gen 1 and fuel. I use the gen 1 because of the smaller head like that one. I agree, it is absolutely worth 60 bucks or less (especially with 2 batteries) for the diy person.
Get outta here braggin bout ur fancy tools and your 18 husky tool boxes to put them in! 😜 lol good to see ya jeff 👍
@@BradsWorkbench 🤣 lmao. I flex whenever I can brother! Lol
@@jeffparker360 lol
Even my wife likes it 🤣🤣🤣 I bet she thought it was somthing else
🤣🤣🤣
your a bad man lol
@@nappymantheking That's deep.... That's what she said 🤔🤣🤣🤣
Wow! 😂
Similar ratchet and similar price that I paid. I love mine, I use the heck out of it. One of the better things I've bought for the money
Yup, urs had the lever if i recall but definitely still could be from same factory. Most the time they just make the lever squeeze the button
I found out the lever is good for getting stuck in the on position when jammed up against something. The reverse switch on the head is tough to get at when jammed too
Ahhhh
This was a cool video Thanks for sharing your thoughts and videos. Hope you are having a great week my friend. Rodney
Thanks rodney
Amazon has one now with 2 batteries for 38.99 i pulled the trigger on it. Has a hard case and some sockets. I was i happy. I tried the cheap one their selling on tiktok and it was junk. But this one is alot better. ty for showing me. Its a hsa brand or something
Well Brad, I'm sold! Have been wondering if I should get a cordless rachet and im going to now pull the trigger. Not sure which brand but i know Milwaukee is having a huge m12 sale right now and with the hack it may also be cheaper than that pro-stormer, but I'll have to check. Thanks home-slice!! Hope all is swell!
Yo Brad! Am I already a patreon? It said my email address is already used. Let me know. I need help! Lol
Hell yea man. Im surprised how much I like having it. Kinda miss using my favorite 3/8 proto tho lol. As far as patreon i havent seen ur name pop up yet 🤷♂️
Great video. Great review. Newer sub here.
I considered one similar till I saw the Husky on sale. Then I got my Milwaukee. Now I keep my Husky in my junkyard box. I charge it the night before I go.
Nothin wrong with that 👍
I am considering the Husky as well... maybe get the prostormer instead?
Project farm literally just released a video testing the prostormer. Go take a watch. The biggest complaint ive heard about the husky is the battery is built in. So you just gonna decide what features are important to ya
Good old pro stormer! I really like the selector switch and how raised it is.... yes tiny but raised. I might have to re review some of the pro stormer stuff I did a long while back
Yea i did forget to mention they have quite a few tools
SOLD! Good review. Thanks!
Glad it helped
Milwaukee just came out with a sick 3/8 stubby cordless M18 (18V?) impact wrench that puts out an insane amount of torque. Still that sucker is probably $300 after you buy a few batteries. The model # is 2854-20
I bet. I love my milwaukee high torque 1/2" but you're right. They are expensive
Rational and reasonable. Thank you.
Very cool review looks like it has served you well
Thank you for this review. I just bought one to make working on my Jeep easier. 🤙🏾
Np, i bet it will work out well for ya
I checked the link to the ratchet. Funny thing it has a smaller kit with only 4 sockets for like $10 less. And an upgraded kit with a 12v square battery for $20 more. ( which is putting it in the AC Delco /Earthquake (Harbor Freight) range. Now I’ll tell you that Earthquake is an anchor for what it is.
Can u post the link to the single batt kit. I was looking for it but it wasnt coming up so I thought they discontinued it
Brads Workbench at the original amazon link click on the “style” in the amazon regular gray bar. Then you can scroll through the ratchets and spare battery
@@Bob-gy6ud well ill be damned. Right in front of me! Lol thanks
Why do designers use Phillips screws in applications where they can rust? It's a guaranteed stripped out headache. Nevermind the fact that Phillips screws suck to start with.
Lol totally agree! Robertson or torx all day!
@@BradsWorkbench Sadly down here in the land of the "free" we rarely see Robertson screws. I love them.
Used alot in electrical and woodworking but yea, wish they would catch on more
@@BradsWorkbench Apparently they are much more common in Canada. I suppose the Phillips was designed to prevent overtorqueing but it just sux.
Its actually an interesting story why phillips is more popular than robertson. It basically came down to a business disagreement
the tool feels good and solid but i used it about 5 times then the racheting part of the wrench stopped racheting motor still worked but useless as you can;t even get parts
Mine still working fine to this day. Its cheap, like anything there will be good and bad experiences
Nice video
Wow that thing is cheap! Whats a triple paw? I have many questions about your arc swing I need input!!! Lmao
Lol i knew u mechanic boys would like that. Would be cool to see how long it holds up to an actual mechanic tho
Ebay is the best place for this type of ratchet. Just bought one with the 2 batteries for under $50 shipped!
Awesome! Thanks for letting people know 👍
Lol I have the same thing but its Power Torque
i like the finger trigger
Yea, it hasnt been a problem for me at all
I use pro stormer ratchet swivel wrenches they are nice held up to 8 months of abusing the 10mm some other ones don't ratchet very well tho like the 11mm...
Definitely gonna have some hit n miss quality when buying cheaper tools like this. Good to know tho. Thanks
Nice Deal Brother👍
Thanks for swinging by
I have a Milwaukee, but I want to buy a kimo and compare the internals of them both
Check out this video 👍 ruclips.net/video/WBySgNtW7RE/видео.html
Same as my power torque from orillys mines slipping 5 month full time mechanic
Thanks for letting people know 👍
Nice tools😮😮😮😮😮🎉🎉
I watched one video and subbed this shit had me dying laughing ol triple paw ratchet
Youll like my top 5 hf hand tools video then... i did an impromptu somba lol
Been through 2 of them the first one I beat down this 2nd the the head broke right away I used the the first one to rebuild it and I still going but when this dies I'm done never again I almost want to sell it off now that it going strong
Yea sounds like you should upgrade. It all comes down to how much u use a tool and in what environment
Can you elaborate more on how u use it? Professionally, super diyer, etc?
I work on buses it's my only cordless of course bought it cause it was cheap this one I am taking care of it more though
Ahhh yes, for professional use i definitely recommend something better. Keep an eye on milwaukee during fathers day, they u can also expand later into their other 12v tools if u choose
Brad, have you reviewed the H.F. Hercules impact battery ratchet?
Well hercules doesnt make a ratchet so i'm gonna guess you're talking about the 3/8" impact and no, the bauer and herc lines are just over priced compared to other proven brands. I did do a video talking about that tho
@Lord Raiden didnt know craftsman came out with one either
Ahhhh ok, the old 19.2. My dad had some of those
I have the same ratchet it last me more than a year with warranty one let it drop right at the button (trigger) braking off but got it replace no problem is under power torque o'Reillys brand one year warranty 1 battery charger and case 69.99
One single battery help me a lot taking a part head gasket on a 5.4 ford is not the strongest but one you get it loose is handy doing the rest
Nice. Thanks for letting everyone know
@@BradsWorkbench thanks I forgot to say ratchet still going it my not be the strongest but do what I want it to do
I got the VonHaus brand its been an awesome ratchet
Yup, ive seen that one around too
Great review, Brad. Thanks
Can these use the red brands batteries?
Highly doubt it
so cool.
Ur not to shabby urself 😝
As long as it can last long.. thats all you need
Lol
Looks like Milwaukee m12 in blue!
It does share some similarities
GREASE ! It sounds a bit corse. Many far easten tools are let down by scant or zero lube in the tool. Every angle grinder I have ever owned has had little or no grease in the gearbox. . I always check and add grease. . The machine then always sounds better..
I'm going to buy one of these , but if its possible will check the lube situation before using it..
😆 fun video.
Thanks
I got one from wish works good for 45$
Nice
these are 35 on ebay
Nice!
its 80$ now
Yeesh. Most major lines sell cordless ratchets now too. If i was buying today and already was invested in a line, then I'd prob just stick with it. Even walmarts hyper tough has and extended head cordless ratchet now
As junk would say not too sexy bad
Lol
I swear that looks just like the one they sell at O'Reilly's.
Could be. Im sure a few companies rebrand it
I have looked up the prostormer stuff and they definitely look identical to oriley powertorque cordless stuff. I have the powertorque ratchet and I really like it. Thinking about the 3/8 impact wrench
josh gargagliano ur right, prob the same exact tools
Thanks for confirming 👍
Not bad 🤔
Thanks for comin by
Ok, you just sent this tool up to 59.99. Well thank you pal. Lol
Someone was saying if u click the tab theres a $50 version with a single batt
Not the cheapest anymore it’s now $38
Gonna assume thats a typo because thats cheaper than I paid. But also why I made a point to say the part in the first 2 minutes about how much prices change. If you have experience with a cheap ratchet you would recommend, feel free to leave a link 👍
$80 today 8/12/2024
Hi brad
Sup bud
Not sure I will ever need a cordless ratchet but interesting.
I felt the same way which is why i got a super cheap one and i'm amazed by how much i use it now
chinese 90nM torque
Mmmmk
This is generic from China. Go on AliExpress and get one for $35
Definitely could
Don't buy this piece of junk
🤷♂️
Its nice but the teeth are cheese grade
Still working fine for me. U know its not an impact right 😉
u never even used it in the video , typical i guess it was too be expected
Lol it spins. Its not an impact, what exactly were u wanting to see 🤣
@@BradsWorkbench from my last comment i have used and yes i agree am new too using these tools so i will buy a impact wrench , thanks for the video and for the response you made i would cusss man out if this was over a electric scooter as i know so much about them but with these tools its all new too me despite being in my 30s lol
i will lean this year as i have a lot of maintenance too do on my scooters and upgrades.
thanks for the video
Everyone starts somewhere 👍
