This 12V cordless ratchet delivers 60 ft-lbs (80 Nm) through a 3/8 inch drive on a 5.5 inch extended neck with a slim head. The geometry is the point: a compact head on a long neck reaches fasteners that a full-size impact cannot get near, which is most of the top end of a modern engine bay. A variable speed trigger lets you creep a bolt into its threads before committing torque. Two 2000 mAh batteries ship in the kit, rated for roughly 500 charge cycles, so one charges while the other works. The steel alloy body replaces the plastic housing common at this price. Best fit: home mechanics doing brakes, alternators, intake work, and anything else where the wrench swing is under two inches.

- Two 2000 mAh batteries included, so one charges while the other is working
- Variable speed trigger lets you start threads slowly before applying torque
Cons
- 60 ft-lbs will not touch seized suspension or lug nuts, so keep a breaker bar nearby
Frequently asked questions
Will this remove lug nuts?
No. Lug nuts are typically torqued to 80 to 100 ft-lbs and often seized beyond that. This tool tops out at 60 ft-lbs. Use an impact wrench or breaker bar for wheels.
Can I still use it as a manual ratchet if the battery dies?
Yes. Like most cordless ratchets it can be turned by hand to break a stubborn fastener loose or to do the final torque pass, then powered to spin it the rest of the way.
Does it come with sockets?
No, it is a 3/8 inch drive tool. Any standard 3/8 inch socket set works with it.
How long does a battery last on one charge?
The 2000 mAh packs handle a typical brake job or alternator swap on one charge. The kit includes two, which in practice means you rarely stop to wait.
