Cordless Ratchets

[rcadden]

I bought this one ( Amazon.com: S-LONG Cordless Ratchet Wrench Set, 3/8" 400 RPM 12V Power Electric Ratchet Driver with 12 Sockets, Two 2000mAh Lithium-Ion Batteries and 60-Min Fast Charge : Tools & Home Improvement ) for $56 two years ago and it's been really handy.

It's awesome for my Sahara sway-bar link disconnects, removing the wings off the OEM steel bumper, removing the hard top and installing the Sunrider, etc.

Decided to get some cordless, and good friend of mine suggested milwaukee.
Man I love these things.
3/8 ratchet.
3/8 wrench.
1/4 wrench.
Going to get the drill with angle drivers.

Hes given me some batteries, as he said he has too many.

I’ll probably pick up the Ryobi version since I have practically every other tool they make and a bunch of batteries. I like the 4 position rotating head feature as well.

Milwaukee. I have the 1/4" and 3/8" non-Fuel ratchets and the 1/2" Fuel. But I warn you, once you see all the other Milwaukee tools these batteries power, you'll have a hard time not becoming an addict

Regarding Milwaukee addiction… and their battery platform, it’s quite robust. I started with carpenter tools years back, then started converting my mechanics air tools to battery. From there, I moved over to lawn equipment and some plumbing tools.

That said sharing a battery platform across all trades allows you to never have to worry about having power.

Ryobi and Dewalt also seem to compete well across trades. I’m a Milwaukee guy with fuel versions for the tools I use most.

I start out with Dewalt, but somewhere along the line from my tools went missing and I switch to Makita when we moved a lot of my tools went missing so I switched to Milwaukee. They seem to have a better selection Makita, but when comparing the Makita power driver to the Milwaukee I like to Makita a lot better now I have quite a selection of

I have the home depot $50 husky. It works great. As mentioned, theyre not for breaking nuts loose. You can do that with it manually, then pull the trigger to spin it off. Theyre lifesavers for those ridiculously long bolts.

the husky does not have a removable battery, just an ac plug. It holds the charge for a long time. Ive hardly ever have to recharge it. Ive had mine for a few years now and i love it. Its not giagantic like some other brands either. Comes in a hard carrying/storage case.

Do you guys carry a battery charger for your Milwaukee that can be plugged into in my case the Rubicon has a 12 V charging spot or do you just carry extra batteries?

I would just take two charged 5 AH batteries with me and call it good. Even then 1 would be a spare for any normal task. 2 is probably enough to disassemble the whole Jeep trail side if you wanted.

I have this one. Works great. Easy to get into tight spaces. Bought it when I had to take my front bumper off to get a winch plate installed.

I carry a dual M12/M18 charger under my back seat. It is overkill but comforting.

It's worked very well for everything I've tossed at it. Black Friday deal for $47.99.

For the few times a year I use one I still use my pneumatic ratchet.
Idk, I guess I wouldn't mind having one that's not too terribly expensive and works fairly decent.

I got the Milwaukee M12 non-fuel variety. Managed to score a good deal, tool with a battery and charger for $135. It's my favorite tool for taking the doors on and off, and its been handy for several other tight-quarters things that have come up (winch bolts, skid plate brackets, etc.).

Ryobi makes one for a similar price. It only goes to 10 ft-lbs on the motor but 50 ft-lbs as a manual ratchet. They have a version with 2 batteries as well.
