Just an FYI, electric ratchets are not intended for breaking bolts. You use them as a conventional ratchet to break the bolt and then use the motor to run the bolt out. Don’t mistake these for impact guns, two tools for different jobs. Highly recommended along side a quality impact gun. Enjoyed the video as ever, keep it up!
You're exactly right. If people would use all of their tools for their intended use their tools would last a long time. But people try to go above and beyond what the tool can do then they call it junk. If you need a breaker bar get a breaker bar and use it as a breaker bar You need a ratchet get a ratchet and use it as a ratchet You won't use it as a hammer would you. It's just like any other tool use it for its intended purpose only. You do that your tools will last a long long time.
After 40 years behind a manual ratchet I got one from walmart thinking why not take a chance for the money. I got to say I was totally taken by surprise. Excellent choice. Battery life is great and I bought an extra for a backup just in case but so far have yet to use it. Streamlined and well made in my opinion. Use it every day in my line of work. I got the long neck version myself.
Got this very ratchet myself. Its not meant to crack things loose, due to its low power, but to take the effort out of manually removing nuts and bolts. Great purchase.
mrv6uk Indeed. I don’t have one but from what I understand the idea is to use it manually like a traditional ratchet on the breaking loose bit and then buzz it out with the power?
@@jonathangarzon2798 idk about the op, but the cordless ratchet works like a normal ratchet too. So If a bolt is too tight for the motor, you can just turn the handle to break the bolt and use the motor to spin it off once it's loose.
Drill- Packedge in typical box, came with a tool bag (added bonus), two batteries, one charger, drill, and driver. Two words "plenty of Torque" ruclips.net/user/postUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv well I guess that's three. Nice upgrade from current setup. Has belt clips, I don't think I will be using those. Driver and drill were bigger than what I expected but it is an upgrade from the current setup. For the money I would say that this is a great setup for Professionals and DIY/Weekend warriors.
You have to check that youget the impact you want though. Alot of them are quite limp wristed for loosening stuff that some orangutan has screwed down with an airgun or even worse a breaker bar.
@@rimmersbryggeri most modern mid torque should take care of 95% of a car or light truck needs. some of the new impact drivers are close to 200 ft lbs torque on the high end, and some compacts like milwaukees m12 stubby wrenches are 250 ft lbs. dewalt, makita, milwaukee, bosch, all have some really great models for impact drivers or wrenches.
@@wclintf I'm more familiar with Nm and if it's torqued properly my 400nm impact removes most things. Even hub/driveshafts nuts. So you are absolutely rigt. Some cheapie mpacts especially the corded ones seem to lie about the specs though.
Do you prefer impact wrenches or drivers Steve? I have an old corded canadian tire impact gun but its a pain in some spaces. I want something for quick tear downs where I don't have a plug in either like in the field ( I farm) So I am looking and comparing brands of stuff. I can't figure out if a stubby driver or wrench / gun is the way to go
One of the most useful and labor-saving tools in any toolbox. For tight spaces, multiple bolts like on intake manifolds, oil pans, valve covers etc and for shear ease of use (speed and nearly effortless), a cordless ratchet can't be beat. I've owned and used pneumatic ratchets for decades, but the air hose and compressor required is a pain sometimes. My Skil 1/4" drive (used often with a step-up adapter to 3/8"), li-ion has served me flawlessly for over 10 years. But for future reference, the tool is not designed as an impact driver. Use the tool to break the bolt/nut loose manually, then spin off. Spin on and tighten manually.
I bought myself a cordless ratchet wrench for christmas. After doing research, Milwaukee, AC Delco, and Ingersolrand were the top 3. I bought the AC Delco and its great.
I have this sealey ratchet in my job as a mechanic 18 years now in the trade... and I agree it’s much nicer on the arms and hands to get bolts out easily and like you said in tight spaces it’s a life saver!!! So far so good it’s not let me down... I used to have a snap on one but sold it as I wanted a Milwaukee one. However this came up. I got it and it’s as good as any of the others. The only snag is with Milwaukee you can get an additional two years warranty on the body and the batteries and charger if you register them with Milwaukee on their site. You only get 1 year with the sealey.... but I’m not sure if they offer any additional. Time will tell
I keep thinking about getting one of these but I don't think I would use it enough. I use a small battery screwdriver with hex to socket adapters (1/4" 3/8" 1/2") and that certainly takes the bulk of the effort away with long threads etc and use a regular ratchet to crack the bolt or use my impact gun space permitting of course. Defo agree with hand fatigue, you must have been wrecked after doing the mini. Should have grabbed a 99 from the ice cream van, funny how they are always out in any weather!
Snap on 1/4 drive cordless ratchet is incredible. Same goes for there 3/8s long neck ratchet. Got the 3/8s impact which is also brilliant, however after using the cordless stubby Milwaukee impact gun I am seriously considering getting one . It's fantastic
I’ve been a subscriber for years now and just recently been going through a bit of a rough time and watching your Channel has really helped me think positively. Also thinking about a project car to keep me busy!
I’m sorry for Hearing you are having a hard time. This is easy to say and hard to do but you do have the right attitude. Keep busy keep your mind off whatever it is and keep your head up and you will be OK. If you have to talk to somebody talk to somebody. I wish you the best and hope you start doing much much better in the future God will help you.
I always say life can take everything but your smile. If you remind yourself you always have that, trust me, you'll always get through. Get a project car YOU like, bugger anyone else, and build it. Doesn't have to be expensive. I've got a 1998 Fiat Cinquecento Sporting that I refuse to get rid of because I want to rebuild it one day.
After twirling machine handles and wrenches for 60yrs, arthritis & tendonitis has won the battle for my wrists and cramps take over my forearms soon after I start taking something apart. My Milwaukee m12 is invaluable!
This may have already been said, but I think the reason you can lock the trigger, is so that when it is in your toolbox, or tool tray etc, it wont get accidentally turned on and run the battery down, could easily happen, rolls over in the tool box on a van or something leans against itduring transit, or if it is laying on the floor and something presses against it.
Last year my doctor found marks of arthritis in the early stages in my hands during my physical, and was really sad because that meant I would have a really bad time working with my hands because of the pain. I bought a cordless ratchet and it’s been a game changers, and I don’t have to force my hands that much anymore.
These cordless ratchets are helpful as a machinist working in semi tight spaces( more like impacts are inconvenient) it's been really nice in particular when I'm running smaller or simpler cycles it's perfect because it's not to much torque and it's just snug if I used an impact every 3 min on the same vice It would wear much quicker
Yes, ratchets are amazing. You can use them manually to break bolts loose or tighten them. But then quickly take out or put in bolts without ratcheting back and forth. The heads are small so they fit places an impact won’t. Don’t use a ratchet to break a bolt loose. Don’t squeeze the trigger. You’re gonna hurt yourself, or might. Crack it loose manually, then hit the trigger. I will say, a Milwaukee right angle impact kinda acts as a ratchet and an impact in that it’s compact and fits where a ratchet does, and it can break things loose easily without torquing hard and getting hurt.
I have the Milwaukee M12 ratchet and M12 Stubby impact, it has 250 ft lbs which is awesome for a little 12v gun. Also have an older M12 3/8 impact with 100 ft lbs. I highly recommend getting into the Milwaukee line if you can, lots of cool tools that will all use the same battery.
Sometimes electric tools is outstanding. Sometimes manual tools are outstanding. Sometimes they are equal. So, as usual: The right tool for the job is the best tool for the job. I would really like to have some bigger angle attachment to my impact so it can be used for some more heavy duty stuff. Now i only have a small 90 degree angle attachment so it only handles nuts and screws that are not to hard to loosen.
great video, to compare the speed you need to use nuts that need a small torch or oposición example you could use nylon nuts , this ratchets are super helpful.
You right on sealey sockets, they made by a top oem in taiwan and good design and quality grade and size coverage clip rail sets . Some of the sealey range junk or found under other brands or more direct for fraction of the cost so worth researching first .
Good review Ive got the same set it really is a good tool saves so much time working on car i also got the 3/8 impact wrench that's a nice little tool.for bigger jobs i use my roybi impact gun has never let me down in 2 years
It will save you so much time mate, you probably have figured out by now but the locking switch thing is to stop the ratchet turning on when is in the bag... I nearly bought a Sealey one few weeks back but after seeing a bad review I decided to go for a 3/8 Milwaukee fuel kit 75nm and I love it, reasons just like you mentioned the fatigue and speed factor, i managed to find a very good deal from GSF Car parts which I believe you have near you £119, they also have the 1/4 and 1/2 ... I enjoyed the man vs machine speed test 😊👍👍👍
for future knowledge the breakaway (nut busting torque) is higher than the tightening torque, so you will always be able to loosen a bolt that the same impact tool tightened. I’m actually like 90% sure that’s a gen 1 Milwaukee so that’s good. Anyway my point was it’s never rated for both forward and reverse identically and if it is then you’ll find it does more in one then the other in reality. I’m petty sure impacts have more busting torque than tightening but I just woke up. Either way you’re right this is a impact tool it’s just tiny and lost but it comes in handy in rare cases where impacts can’t fit
You could get a torque guage, then using that screw in and out knob near the handle, set it for the job you are doing, then you have an electric torque wrench
So, I have Skil version with built in battery (over 10 years old now..), & newer Bosch 12v impacts, saw etc.. All the newer tools, Dremel & Milwaukee have the same battery.. just a shaped tab different on some..(ie: I can charge both my Bosch & Dremel tools on the same charger..) This ratchet is most certainly made by Bosch.. so I would buy it in a heartbeat!
What I like about Milwaukee is they make a decent tool but a very wide selection of tools that all use the same batteries. With only 1 battery you can run all their tools.
Nice but expensive in my mind, I got a snap on air ratchet and impact air gun but tootling around with a compressor isn't convenience, I also have a Lidl's Parkside electric impact and to be fair what that can't handle is very little, whizzes wheel nuts off a treat but is bulky and not so easy in tight spaces. I would agree about the speed aspect as I am currently repairing my old Vespa and my air ratchet does the job brilliantly and can get loads done in fraction of time, the impacts I got tend to just snap the bolts off even on low torques lol
Ratchet is, with very few exceptions, a duplicate of my 10+ yr old Skil (made by Bosch tool corp, Mt Prospect, IL, USA... & I'm sure in many other countries!) GREAT tool!!
Santa must have heard/seen me watching this video as what do I find under my Christmas tree but this exact set plus the 1/4" hex driver (CP1203) & the 3/8" impact driver (CP1204). Lucky me! :)
Stop buying 100 different tool brands. Now you need 100 different batteries. Every time you get a different tool brand you need to get different batteries as well. I buy Milwaukee tools and I save money by only buying the tool only without the batteries.
I would definately have bought Milwaukee. They have a nice 12v line-up. This looks like a Milwaukee ratchet copy. And Milwaukee has some new brushless ratchets as well.
Looks like a great tool. I work on fork trucks not cars but in the old days I used to do lots of engine & transmission rebuilds. No battery stuff then, only air tools, but I’d generally strip them out with an impact gun (for speed) but reassemble with an air ratchet. More control with the ratchet & no chance of stripping threads, plus for stuff that doesn’t actually need a specific torque you whiz it up, tighten it by hand and you’re done. Not being tied to an airline is great, ideal for guys on the road especially.
I'm kinda in the same position, got all the tools I really "need" the only time I usually buy anything is if I need a specialist tool for a certain car. But I've actually been thinking one of these would be handy for a while and its probably gonna be my next purchase.. think ill probably go 1/2" though as all the rest of my sockets are that size.
prob best to loosen and torque things by hand though on some items, that thing looks like it might be pretty rough on the fasteners if you're mashing the trigger like that.
Nice review - you are missing an opportunity though. You could be an 'Amazon associate' - links in your description to tools you recommend could earn you a few quid if you are bothered.
I’d like to see a video on trolley jacks and axle stands/ramps etc. I’ve got a cheap low profile trolley jack but thinking of upgrading to something better, lower and with quick lift.
wait for an ebay 15% coupon and it proper cheap. I prefer the ac delco arw1209 as slimmer body yet little nore torque . What I use mainly as in a shop working is air reactionless impact ratchet, the reactionless mini air impact ratchets are game changers, smaller, faster, lot more powerful and not jerking your knuckles into obstacles, I own a kuani KI-2324 and it truly a tool I wouldn't want be without ...
I got the snap on electric ratchet with long neck and was instantly disappointed. OK doing things up but gutless removing compared to the air counterpart.
Hey pal loved the BMW series. IV just had my MOT on my 2010 Corsa and it's failed on the service brake lagging in operation offside front. They are saying it's about £600. Sound about right? Please help I know nothing about cars
Those batteries as well as the tool itself look 100% like the Milwaukee version. If you need more of the 12 volt batteries check out Toolstation, there an authorised Milwaukee retailer & when they have deals grab a set.
Just an FYI, electric ratchets are not intended for breaking bolts. You use them as a conventional ratchet to break the bolt and then use the motor to run the bolt out. Don’t mistake these for impact guns, two tools for different jobs. Highly recommended along side a quality impact gun.

The lockout on the trigger is very useful if it's in a toolbox it's very easy to have it running if you've not locked it

Its rebuilt 4 engines stripped numerous race bikes
Life changer air tools are dead :)
Agree air tools are lagging behind now, but nothing beats an air chisel!

Ratchet is, with very few exceptions, a duplicate of my 10+ yr old Skil (made by Bosch tool corp, Mt Prospect, IL, USA... & I'm sure in many other countries!) GREAT tool!!
I wish we has harbour freight in the uk
CRAIG-CRAIG You May get one they looking to expand to Canada and Europe
Try Machine Mart
@@debolt4796 Still looking. Maybe after 50 years in EU
Which is better to get, this one or the Milwaukee one?
I've got the same one brilliant little tool comes in handy on my Cooper S the price you pay for it definitely worth the investment
I just bought the makita m12 ratchet and it’s a beast. Definitely puts my Milwaukee to shame.
Santa must have heard/seen me watching this video as what do I find under my Christmas tree but this exact set plus the 1/4" hex driver (CP1203) & the 3/8" impact driver (CP1204). Lucky me! :)
have the same electric ratchet and just brought the 3/8 impact from sealey and also have the 3"sander too,For home use there spot on..
Hi James after watching this video I have brought this racket and sander / buffer with bag. Great item.thanks
Ingco comes in at 950 pound and it comes with two 1,5 A/h battery and you can use bigger batteries as well.
Its all I use in the workshop best tool I ever bought
Thanks for the in depth review.
Looking to buy one of these and your video helped alot..
Stop buying 100 different tool brands. Now you need 100 different batteries. Every time you get a different tool brand you need to get different batteries as well. I buy Milwaukee tools and I save money by only buying the tool only without the batteries.
Really enjoyed your review.Thanks
Great idea, but don't forget extensions exist for hand and power tools
Great reviews thanks
nice too know there good snd useful. just wanna know if any brand can do the job????
Great review. Thank you. Subscribed. I wish there were a way to only search for UK videos.
yeah more tool reviews please great video james
When you trying to undo the bolts at the end
It’s better to have the ratchet spinning before putting it on to the bolt head works better imo
Yeah that how i do it too
Great tool review James loving the content lately
im tempted.....i have a sealey elecy impact wrench..its good too
With these should we stick to only using impact sockets, or are regular sockets fine?
Is there any point in getting one of these things if I don't work on cars at all?
I would definately have bought Milwaukee. They have a nice 12v line-up. This looks like a Milwaukee ratchet copy. And Milwaukee has some new brushless ratchets as well.
Krille's Garage Milwaukee all the way
Dead right , he should have bought a Milwaukee.
cool unboxing dude. tempted to get one of these now, might help me finally finish building my track car lol
Looks like a great tool. I work on fork trucks not cars but in the old days I used to do lots of engine & transmission rebuilds. No battery stuff then, only air tools, but I’d generally strip them out with an impact gun (for speed) but reassemble with an air ratchet. More control with the ratchet & no chance of stripping threads, plus for stuff that doesn’t actually need a specific torque you whiz it up, tighten it by hand and you’re done. Not being tied to an airline is great, ideal for guys on the road especially.
You won't regret it.
I use mine every day on forklift trucks.
Gets at least a week per battery!
MILWAUKEE!!!!
I'm kinda in the same position, got all the tools I really "need" the only time I usually buy anything is if I need a specialist tool for a certain car. But I've actually been thinking one of these would be handy for a while and its probably gonna be my next purchase.. think ill probably go 1/2" though as all the rest of my sockets are that size.
prob best to loosen and torque things by hand though on some items, that thing looks like it might be pretty rough on the fasteners if you're mashing the trigger like that.
That DeWalt literally ripped those bolts ruthlessly
Nice review - you are missing an opportunity though. You could be an 'Amazon associate' - links in your description to tools you recommend could earn you a few quid if you are bothered.
Quality vid as always.
Wow that's actually a really nice bag.😮😮
Awesome review! How would you take care in not over-torqueing in certain applications?
Variable speed trigger press lightly slower it goes then torque down to what ever specs required
*Pretty soon*
*You're going to whip out your tool,*
*and use it to it's full potential,*
*live on RUclips.*
I’d like to see a video on trolley jacks and axle stands/ramps etc. I’ve got a cheap low profile trolley jack but thinking of upgrading to something better, lower and with quick lift.
Got a long neck snap on battery ratchet, didn't realise how bloody handy it would be lol..
That is the only snap on power tool that i envy
wait for an ebay 15% coupon and it proper cheap.
I prefer the ac delco arw1209 as slimmer body yet little nore torque .
What I use mainly as in a shop working is air reactionless impact ratchet, the reactionless mini air impact ratchets are game changers, smaller, faster, lot more powerful and not jerking your knuckles into obstacles, I own a kuani KI-2324 and it truly a tool I wouldn't want be without ...
I got the snap on electric ratchet with long neck and was instantly disappointed. OK doing things up but gutless removing compared to the air counterpart.
Hey pal loved the BMW series. IV just had my MOT on my 2010 Corsa and it's failed on the service brake lagging in operation offside front. They are saying it's about £600. Sound about right? Please help I know nothing about cars
Isnt 45nm not very low torque? You won't take off bolts that are realy tight
Those batteries as well as the tool itself look 100% like the Milwaukee version. If you need more of the 12 volt batteries check out Toolstation, there an authorised Milwaukee retailer & when they have deals grab a set.
