So far so good. Actually happy with this for the price. Current job this was useful for the location. I did not need it for a higher torque job yet but if I have to crack a bolt free by hand this would help run out longer bolts fast. Fairly safe going back in as torque isn't real high. For basic work in tight spaces this is great. Very light weight. Nice kit as well and my sockets do not look poorly made as other stated. I am fine with what I received. If your impact wrench won't fit this might be what you need! Read more
The AOBEN Cordless Electric Ratchet Wrench Set is a game-changer for anyone who regularly works on cars, appliances, or general mechanical projects. I’ve been using it for a few weeks, and it has made my work so much easier and faster. What I Love About It: Powerful Performance: With 40 ft-lbs of torque and a 12V motor, this ratchet handles tough jobs with ease. Whether I'm tightening or loosening bolts, it gets the job done quickly. Cordless Convenience: The cordless design is incredibly freeing. No more dealing with tangled cords or looking for a power outlet—it’s perfect for working in tight spaces or on-the-go repairs. Long Battery Life: The kit comes with two 12V lithium-ion batteries, so I always have a backup ready. A full charge lasts a long time, even with heavy use. Ergonomic Design: The handle is comfortable and non-slip, making it easy to use for extended periods without hand fatigue. The lightweight design is a bonus. LED Light and Indicator: The built-in LED light is fantastic for working in dimly lit areas, like under a car hood. The battery indicator ensures I never run out of power unexpectedly. Complete Kit: The set includes everything you need—two batteries, a charger, and a selection of sockets—making it a great value for the price. Why I Recommend It: The AOBEN Cordless Electric Ratchet Wrench Set combines power, convenience, and efficiency into a compact tool that’s perfect for DIYers and professionals alike. It’s well-built, reliable, and has all the features you’d expect from a high-quality power tool. If you’re looking to save time and effort on mechanical jobs, this tool is a must-have. Highly recommended! Read more
I have this brand's car polisher and liked the quality so bought this to help speed up DIY repairs on my van and classic car. This looked like the most compact of all the battery operated offerings although it was the lowest voltage therefore offering a fairly low torque rating (40 ft lb). But it locks well so you can use it to manually loosen or tighten fasteners if the motor won't. And BTW, this is not an "impact" style wrench. The only disappointment was the 12vdc batteries looked compatible (in the pictures) with my Bosch 12volts, but they are not. Read more
I bought this after doing a review of all of the available motorized ratchets, to assess which might meet the needs of a weekend auto mechanic (hence the first person). I've used everything from Black and Decker to Makita to Milwaukee to Husky tools, as well as Harbor Freight, all of which have their pro's and con's. After looking extensively and trying out some of the various options from friends and the stores, I settled on the Aoben, based on cost, durability, the two batteries, and the 2000 mAh ratings (as well as the various reviews out there). When I got the kit, I tested the amount of charge on one of the batteries, assuming they'd be close to one another. The other one I put on the charger to see how long it would take to charge. Battery 1 was able to get through an afternoon of wrenching, pulling out various bolts from from the engine and transmission of an air cooled vehicle. I'd say I used it all told about a half hour, dropping it twice when reaching for some tight areas under the hood. (I used it outside of the motorized aspect as well - it's a 'regular' ratchet wrench as well). No issue with that. It still had charge, and when I put it on the charger it took about 35 minutes to fully charge. The smaller head was able to get into some cramped areas, which was greatly appreciated particularly when one can only 'feel' but not 'see' the nut. Battery 2 took about 48 minutes to charge (from red to green on the indicator), and the swap was fairly easy - it's a bit tight for the batteries, but only took a modicum of pulling to get it out. The functionality was no issue with both the tool and the metric sockets that came with the kit. I was also using my old hex attachments which were longer, and I didn't have any issues with those either. I did notice I scraped the plastic just above the battery when the tool got caught on the hood brace, but otherwise the two drops (from about waist height) didn't seem to cause any issue. Of note this is made in China - like virtually all of the other motorized ratchet wrenches I looked at (Makita and Kimo being the exceptions). At least for a weekend mechanic, the Aoben works well for what I need it for, and potentially even more than that. It isn't as heavy as some of the others, it's well balanced, and as noted, it can fit into some tight areas which others might not be able to do so. Although I wish the finish was a bit better (that plastic scrape was my fault, though), I'm otherwise pleased with the tool, the batteries, and the sockets. It's high value for the price. Read more
Works great and price isn't bad especially for an extra battery. Read more
Definitely needed one as my car had more screws than I was ready to deal with. Made the process much more tolerable. Read more
I love this. I have owned the previous version with a different charger and battery since I bought it on Amazon in 2019. I keep it in a tool bag in my jeep where it is subject to regular abuse from significant off-road driving. The smaller size of the ratcheting head allows it to get into spaces where it would take significant time and effort with a regular wrench or ratchet. It has taken a beating, been dropped, used in rain, tumbled down rocks, and charged and discharged again and again without fail. I cannot count the times I have struggled and cursed over a bolt and then recalled that I have this in my jeep and been so relieved to have it. Sure, it could be faster or have more torque, and I wish there was a smaller version also for smaller tight to reach places, but this has by far exceeded my initial expectations. Added to it, the light to illuminate my work is a serious bonus. Read more
