Never heard of it

Battery powered socket ratchet i believe vs air ratchet

 

[Gordobe]

I think they became popular just after the wheel

I just bought a cheap one 3/8 drive off amazon. thousands of good reviews fwiw, aoben is the brand. Only had a couple of weeks but doing ok, came with 2 batteries. and a couple of impacts and extension for about 70$ bees knees. whatever your brand.

I just tapped a lithium battery to my ratchet handle (hell with alkaline batteries)

I think the shrums are kicking in

 

[porkysan]

[porkysan]

haha nice. good move stick to high end batteries

Sorry I'm a Doofus . Cordless impact driver is more common than Battry Rat. WTF.

I've been using the same Milwaukee 3/8" ratchet for about 4 years in the shop, zero issues and original 4 batteries I purchased. The batteries are shared with 3 other tools as well. I would gladly buy a replacement the next day if this one dies.

Was the word impact introduce before or after the wheel

Shrums causing high impact

I"m planning a garage sale for next weekend. Selling obsolete construction tools going back 50 years. Everything with a cord or air hose. Might make enough for a couple of tanks of pig gas and an ice cream cone.

 

[Gordobe]

probably be more profitable selling the wire from the cords

Man, I just bought some ratcheting wrenches, good enough.

I need to grab a set, got by for years without but a few times lately they would have been the cats arse on a job.

I’ve been eating shrooms and using sticks and stones. Now I’m thinking about jumping to the new millennium!

Shrumping balls

What he said. Used a snap-on equivalent at work for a couple of years and found it useful enough to buy one for the home shop. Instead of paying $nap-on price I gave the
Milwaukee a try. Came with a impact and a drill. They’re super useful in those areas you can only rotate a ratchet a couple degrees, just pull the trigger.

Gordobe on

Have not heard of it , will look it up easy road trip to that location. Drove over the Panamint Range into Death Valley and out the other side, one of my first solo test excursions with pet pig when I first got her. AC worked great at 115 Degrees.

Let me know.
