It is interesting that I have a pretty large lineup of wood crafting power tools but I don't have any such tools for working on my car and this might be the first in that arena.What it is: It is a motorized ratchet that is metric but it has pretty standard socket set fittings so any other SAE or metric socket sets should work with it.What's in the box: it comes with in a light weight tool box that is reminiscent of Festool's flatish rectangular boxes. Inside the box is the handset / powertool, instruction booklet, two batteries, a USB-C cable, an adapter / reducer, an extension, and 6 sockets (10, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 17mm in size).How it works: Snapping the battery into the power handle with its rubberized grips is relatively easy. By putting light pressure on the grip activates the motor and turns the socket at a relatively sedate pace. Pressing grip switch fully increases the rotation to a rate that I'd match only with my fastest ratchet. While it doesn't rotate as fast as a DeWalt power driver, its fast enough to be useful but not so fast that you lose control. Its configured just like a socket ratchet so will fit into many tight spaces.What I'd change: The box is built to be stacked and has clips that can reach to a box stacked above it and while a great idea, I've not seen another tool sold by this company so a more streamlined box would fit better in my crowded workshop. The box is also made from thin plastic and would be better in the workshop with thicker more durable plastic build, as it is, I feel it can be easily damaged / smashed. The sockets are seated deeply within the boxes padding and the padding needs to be lifted so that the sockets can be gotten out of these inaccessible sockets. The batteries are perhaps its worst feature. They are nearly impossible to remove from the handle once seated and you really have to pinch the tabs on the battery to remove them. I've contemplated leaving one fitted in the hand unit and charge it directly while plugged in. Another potentially highly problematic issue is the fact that the hand tool has sections of rubberized material. This is not a problem now but with time these rubberized areas will become tacky as the rubber breaks down. This has consistently happens and makes for a huge mess that can be alleviated with acetone or isopropyl ethanol. But this is an annoyance and its something that makes a big mess.Overall its a useful tool and will aid me the next time I'm working on my car. Fortunately my cars are metric so these sockets will work with them. As I don't have any tool like this, its a unique addition to my tool collection.

At 950 grams (wrench plus one battery and no attachments), this tool feels very solid and works great. The speed can be finely controlled by depressing the lever more or less. The box is unique with all flat surfaces, making it easy to store it securely in any orientation without tipping over. Feels solid. The rotation is not smooth, but ratcheting and this is by design. With the motor off, it works also as regular ratcheting wrench, useful if e.g. a nut is stuck beyond the torque of the motor. (40ftlbs, or 55Nm).The interior of the box contains a thick foam sheet with cutouts for all tools. The sockets are deeply recessed below the surface and very difficult to remove by hand. I'll probably add some spacers below them. Chances are that we'll use an existing big socket set and we don't really need the included few sockets.The documentation has no useful illustrations (except for a picture of the tool in the front) and is glaringly wrong, incomplete, and ambiguous in places. For example it tells us to "use the original charger and connect to the charging port at the bottom of the wrench", even though all we get is a USB C cable (no charger!) and the USB C ports are on each battery. It also says that the charging indicator will light when charging and turn off when fully charged. That charging indicator is a dim red LED deeply recessed at the bottom of each battery and almost invisible in daylight (see picture). The top of the wrench has three LEDs that show that remaining battery capacity during use, but does not show anything when charging an inserted battery. I imagine that this could cause confusion. Obviously, the manual needs to be corrected and illustrations added to show where these various indicators are.Using my old phone charger to charge one of the batteries, it draws 18W at the outlet as measured. This is quite fast. Curiously if I use my 68W rated ThinkPhone charger, nothing happens. It seems there is no full PD protocol implemented in the batteries.Overall, this is a usable wrench once we figure everything out (manual does not help at all!). The motor is not brushless and there are no indications that the brushes can be replaced. Still, they will probably outlast the life of the tool.Good to have !

This is just a very mixed opion. I want to love it. Got one and the light on the charger for one battery wouldn't got off so very likely to over charge. The other battery fine. Contacted company and they were awesome. They worked with us and we were able to get another set. Unfortunately one battery in that set was the same way. The case is absolutely huge and useless. You can't get the attachments out without removing the whole things. The ratchet itself is a bit over sized. Hard to use for hands like mine. It works great though. Kinda heavier than my other one. Good quality. I can honestly say the company is the best I have encountered with a problem I had.

I am a Milwaukee user and fan but when it comes to ratchets I somehow acquired 3 different cheap ones (just like this one) and they all been surprisingly solid.This one is no exception. Solid torque (you still have to break the bolt first by hand even with Milwaukee)Very functional, the body is a bit thicker compared to my other ones so in tight spaces it could be an issue, but it provides a good grip.Battery life Is good. Value is great

I’ve used this battery powered ratchet several time now and am very happy with it. It’s especially helpful when removing fasteners from the lower engine cover when changing oil in my vehicles — as there is very little ground clearance. The control switch allows me to adjust the speed at which it operates proving precise control. The batteries (2 are provided) last a long time — even after storage for a while. The tool case is especially robust as well. Very happy with this addition to my tool chest.
