AI Review Summary:
Across retailer reviews, customers praise the ratchet’s strong torque for a 12V tool, compact head for tight spaces, and long-lasting brushless reliability. Many note excellent ergonomics, variable-speed control, and the convenience of ditching air hoses. Common negatives mention trigger sensitivity at low speeds, occasional head bulk in extremely confined spots, and that heavy, stubborn fasteners may still require a breaker bar. Representative quotes: “Replaced my air ratchet—lighter, quieter, just as strong,” “Battery life is great for a full day of light-to-medium jobs,” and “Wish the trigger had a bit finer control for delicate work.”
