Portability and slim design are two of the main advantage of electric ratchet wrenches. They are also safer as there are no dangling hoses that might trip someone in your workshop. The power of a cordless ratchet motor is measured by its torque output and speed. Torque refers to the rotational force produced by a cordless ratchet and is measured in foot-pounds (ft-lbs). The average torque of a cordless ratchet ranges from 25 to 50 ft-lbs, and the more powerful models work best for automotive tasks. Brushless motors use a type of encoder device to achieve the same result without the wear and tear caused by physical brushes. This extends the life of the motor, increases its overall efficiency, and makes it quieter. Tools with brushless motors typically cost more. KIMO equipped this ratchet wrench with 2 pieces of rubber that withstand corrosive materials and increase your comfort when using. Its built-in LED illuminates the work area while the on-board fuel gauge displays remaining run time. Loosening and tightening nuts and bolts are a breeze thanks to its powerful 30 ft-lb of torque.

BUILT-IN LED: Equipped with an LED light in the front of a machine body that illuminates the dark working environment. And the battery power indicator will be turned on automatically when the ratchet wrench is started, could tell you exactly the remaining battery power. A battery indicator doesn’t keep the user safe in the traditional sense, but it does show how much power remains before the battery needs to recharge. This allows the user to plan for projects properly instead of trying to figure out how to reattach a fastener when the ratchet has a dead battery.

If there’s a complaint, it’s that we don’t know for sure how fast this ratchet spins, but it’s definitely on par with the other 18V/20V models.

However, deciding how much power you need from your ratchet depends on how you plan to use it. As a rule of thumb, bigger nuts and bolts will require more torque when fastening them down.It’s the most expensive ratchet wrench on the list, but its durability and performance make it worth the price.

Choose a model with lower torque if you’re okay with a slower power tool or if you’re going to be working on smaller nuts and bolts. As far as the compact cordless ratchets go, Milwaukee’s M12 model was our favorite. It’s the most compact and has a very low-profile head, so we could maneuver it just about anywhere under the hood. The LED was spot-on (something these compact ratchets seem to get wrong over and over again), though the speed was a little underwhelming. Overall, the Ingersoll Rand R1130-K1 Cordless Ratchet is as powerful as the Milwaukee 2457-21 while being as light as the ACDelco ARW1201. Unfortunately, it’s also a bit more expensive.
