Working on my own cars and around the house, I go through a lot of ratchet sets, and the Alloypower 3/8 inch 12V Extended Cordless Ratchet Wrench Kit has become the one I reach for first.
It delivers up to 60 ft-lbs of torque, which is enough to remove and install most nuts and bolts without breaking a sweat, and the steel alloy body feels noticeably sturdier than the plastic heavy tools in this price range.
The extended handle gives good reach into tight engine bay spots, and the cordless design means I am not tethered to an outlet or wrestling with an air hose in the driveway.
Pros: real torque output, durable alloy construction, cordless convenience. Cons: battery life depends on how demanding the job is, so heavier jobs will need a spare battery on hand.
Currently listed at $79.99, down from $139.99. Check the current price on Alloyman here.
