AOBEN Cordless Electric Ratchet Wrench Set, 3/8" 12V Power Ratchet Tool Kit With 2 Packs 2000mAh Lithium-Ion Battery And Charger

I bought this after doing a review of all of the available motorized ratchets, to assess which might meet the needs of a weekend auto mechanic (hence the first person). I've used everything from Black and Decker to Makita to Milwaukee to Husky tools, as well as Harbor Freight, all of which have their pro's and con's. After looking extensively and trying out some of the various options from friends and the stores, I settled on the Aoben, based on cost, durability, the two batteries, and the 2000 mAh ratings (as well as the various reviews out there). When I got the kit, I tested the amount of charge on one of the batteries, assuming they'd be close to one another. The other one I put on the charger to see how long it would take to charge. Battery 1 was able to get through an afternoon of wrenching, pulling out various bolts from from the engine and transmission of an air cooled vehicle. I'd say I used it all told about a half hour, dropping it twice when reaching for some tight areas under the hood. (I used it outside of the motorized aspect as well - it's a 'regular' ratchet wrench as well). No issue with that. It still had charge, and when I put it on the charger it took about 35 minutes to fully charge. The smaller head was able to get into some cramped areas, which was greatly appreciated particularly when one can only 'feel' but not 'see' the nut. Battery 2 took about 48 minutes to charge (from red to green on the indicator), and the swap was fairly easy - it's a bit tight for the batteries, but only took a modicum of pulling to get it out.The functionality was no issue with both the tool and the metric sockets that came with the kit. I was also usingmy old hex attachments which were longer, and I didn't have any issues with those either. I did notice I scraped the plastic just above the battery when the tool got caught on the hood brace, but otherwise the two drops (from about waist height) didn't seem to cause any issue.Of note this is made in China - like virtually all of the other motorized ratchet wrenches I looked at (Makita and Kimo being the exceptions). At least for a weekend mechanic, the Aoben works well for what I need it for, and potentially even more than that. It isn't as heavy as some of the others, it's well balanced, and as noted, it can fit into some tight areas which others might not be able to do so. Although I wish the finish was a bit better (that plastic scrape was my fault, though), I'm otherwise pleased with the tool, the batteries, and the sockets. It's high value for the price.

I bought the half-inch version (with 74 ft-lbs of claimed torque rather than the 40 ft-lbs of the 3/8 inch)Cons:- Lack of power; it doesn't make nearly as much as the claimed 74 ft-lbs of torque- Long and bulky; but to be fair, so is every cordless ratchet on the marketPros:- 1/2 inch drive; I can use the same sockets that I use for my impact wrenches. Thus there's no need for me to get a full set of 3/8 sockets.- Comfortable and ergonomic in tight spacesIt will never replace my hand ratchets or my impact wrenches in any task, but it is a good addition that makes tasks a lot quicker and more comfortable than with just hand ratchets and impact alone.
