11/4/2012--->Follow up... yep ratchet continues to be a handy, medium to light wieght, lazy man or senior, hand tool. Would like to add to my comment on the 6-1/2 M18 circular saw... great investment good tool. Had need to use it on 2 good sized outdoor projects. It's a workhorse that is good on batteries, much better tool than expected. Used intermitantly for 2 projects, each 3-4 days long, for 4x8 5/8 OSB cuts and 2x4 and 2x6 cuts. Each project required only one fresh battery change during the 3-4 days for homeowner /handy man type work. Keep a sharp blade in it. Working without being on a cord tether is really getting to be fun.
I watch YouTube videos for inspiration before beginning any tough wrenching job. The mechanics on YouTube are all using these (or the expensive SnapOn impact equivalents). Why? Because they're working flat rate and their time is money.
Wait. Isn't MY time worth money, too? Less wrenching time means more drinking time, right?
The first job I did with this was a timing belt replacement on my Odyssey. If you're going to jump in, you want the deep end, right? Although I was afraid that I should have bought the expensive extended version of this ratchet, the little tool did a great job. There was nothing that I couldn't reach - most of the time, you're using extensions and swivels, anyway.
I was able to remove all of the applicable fasteners, replace the belt, water pump and idlers from the kit and then put everything back together without having to switch to my spare M12 battery. All the while watching that sweet little tool spin those bolts without worrying about my having to wave some manual ratchet back and forth a couple of zillion times. As the mechanical gods were smiling on me that day, nothing broke and everything went well. I caught myself smiling more than once - hardly ever using the collection of Anglo-Saxon Power Words generally heard from the garage when I'm in there.
This tool is hefty enough to break bolts loose and also can put a bit of torque on them when operated by hand without the trigger. It wasn't going to break the crank bolt loose or anything like that, but it did anything I would normally ask a 3/8 ratchet to do. It didn't seem to get too dirty, so cleanup time was pretty easy.
In short, if you're going to be working on your car and you value your time and/or your knuckles. you should consider getting one of these. It makes things go much quicker and when the neighbors show up to ask what you're doing, you look like a pro.
Easy for small jobs, no need for compressor and hoses.
I never knew I needed one, now I can’t be without it.
Saves huge time removing and reinstalling the bumper from my jeep.
