Cheap cordless ratchet
I have an old USA-made 3/8" air ratchet, but it's big and clunky. Also have a 1/4" air ratchet, but it's not very powerful. So, I could really use a compact 3/8" cordless ratchet for a job I'm doing.
Until just recently, I wouldn't have considered buying a cheap tool, and I'd love to have a Milwaukee Fuel ratchet kit. But I'm getting old and much less motivated to start projects, so I doubt I'd use a cordless ratchet more than 2-3 times over the next few years. I see several brands in the $20-$40 price range, including two batteries and a charger. If any of you have tried a cheapie, please let me know what works and what doesn't.
