Parkside 12V ratchet

[roofman]

I must say i am very impressed with this tool, has good man power and still has the facilty to be used as a hand ratchet when power button not used...big game changer is deleting the silly safety 2nd switch, just cut one end off depending if your right or left handed and keep it in with a good smear of CT1..

You animal. Btw, what's "man power"?

Nice. I bought a Milwaukee one last year thinking I’d use it more than I have but have not really found its niche yet. Assembling flat packs was good with it though.

ive got an air powered one and even when ive got the compressor out and running i tend to either use the impact or just a normal ratchet handle as its less bulky...

i keep chewing over do i want one of these

i got the small m12 3/8 impact that gets in alot of places and do i need to save 30 secs a job not using a hand ratchet ??

I’ve got an air one, used it once. After a gap of several years, I tried it again & it didn’t work & put it away again.

mine always works when i do use it, but the only times ive ever found myself using it is in the rare occasion i have a very tight area to get into when i dont have space to swing a ratchet, but can get the air one in but most of the time it hasnt got the torque to initially loosen the bolt anyway

Same as woman power but twice as much

just replaced the altenator on my vivaro which was easier taking the front off..whole job was done with the parkside on one battery including back together..

30 seconds bent at a funny angle is a day...ive always been a sceptic of these leccy ratchets since they hit the streets but now ime converted..big thanks to Pug1 off Youtube watching him with his "red one"

 

[steveo3002]

yeah plenty of youtubers seem to get good use of them , guess you dont know till you got one

was thinking id never use my cordless die grinder but that gets plenty of use

 

[frank horton]

apparently there a better qual model with a 20v battery and brushless on it's way from Lidil....
I'm waiting for that...

I used to use makita 18v 1/2 impact but got a set of small makita with 1/4 and drill driver I've hardly every used the 1/2 inch since unless the 1/4 will not undo

I bought a Milwaukee as well and it gets loads of use due to my having limited strength in my right hand.
