I recently bought a 3/8 cordless ratchet from a buddy of mine who is a matco dealer. I get a little skeptical about some of these new tools, especially when I see them on the sunday morning car shows. this one has impressed me has more than enough torque for any fasteners you will take of with a 3/8 drive tool ,and is built real well. you can crank on it just like a regular ratchet, it is just as heavy and as sturdy as my pneumatic tools just a lot less noise and no leash. I do love my dewalt impact this however fits where my dewalt wont and over the last 3 days have been a real labor saver. the 16 volt battery seems to out last any job I have used it on. initially I'm real impressed.
