Review on Powerful Cordless Electric Ratchet Wrench Set - KIMO 3/8" Drive, 40 Ft-Lbs, 400 RPM, 12V Kit With Fast Charge, Variable Speed Trigger, 2.0Ah Lithium-Ion Battery by Jeremy Monroe

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Incredible value! Great performance!

Let me start off by saying this is my first Kimo tool. I was very skeptical of the performance I would get at this price point from a brand I have never heard of. But as a DIYer with a family i could not justify the price of some of the other brands. So lets get started. It comes in a nice plastic case with TWO 2.0 Ah 12v max lithium batteries! A charger and seven 6 point metric sockets (10.11.12.13.14.15.17) and one 3/8 to 1/4 drive adapter. Now the features! Its pretty light just over 2 pounds with battery. The forward and reverse toggle is easy to use. The variable speed paddle switch is great! I love being able to choose how fast the tool is operating. Its also easy the manipulate the paddle switch (i grip the ratchet high and operate the switch with my pinky finger). The fit and finish far exceeded my expectations it is very comfortable to hold and use. It has a LED light that for me kind of falls short. I would definitely like it to be brighter but it is bright enough to see the bolt head so it works. The 2.0 Ah batteries work great. I have put both batteries through multiple charging cycles and have preformed great. Battery life is pretty respectable and the paddle switch lock will definitely help with that. As the lock will prevent accidentally engaging the paddle switch in your tool box or bag! The fuel gauge is handy and easy to read with green yellow red lighting. It is rated at 40 foot pounds of torque. That is plenty for the use case for an electric ratchet. This is not an impact so if you are expecting that kind of performance you will be let down with any electric ratchet. This Kimo electric ratchet has been handling tightening and loosening all the bolts i have thrown at it! My only real con for this tool is it only spins at 400 revolutions a minute without a load. I would like if it would rotate faster. Bottom line is don't sleep on Kimo like I did. I am extremely satisfied with this electric ratchet and would recommend it to anyone.
