RYOBI ONEAND HP 18V BRUSHLESS Cordless 3/8 in. Extended Reach Ratchet Tool ONLY PBLRC25B

I already have a stable of Ryobi One+ tools, and have been pleased with them all, so it was a no-brainer to get this powered ratchet when I decided I wanted one. I didn't have to buy a new battery or charger, because I have them already. I was doubtful that I would use this enough to justify the investment, as I am a DIY guy. The concern was unjustified, as it works so well that I use it almost every time I use my sockets. The torque is surprisingly strong! So much so, that on smaller sizes, it will remove them without need to manually break them loose first. The ratchet is strong enough that you can do this with most fasteners, but I wouldn't try it to remove wheel lugs. It fits into places that an impact wrench cannot, which is why a bought it in the first place. It's so great to spin nuts and bolts in or out quickly rather than going back and forth with an ordinary ratchet hundreds of times in a tight space. Also, you can get the socket onto the bolt or nut, and because the ratchet can rotate to any angle, unlike a standard ratchet, you can always get it to fit onto any fastener it can reach, and spin it without any side-to-side movement of the ratchet necessary, at all!

I really like this tool. It is a great addition to my set. It's a little on the heavy side but appears to be good quality. It fits into most places I've needed doing automotive work. It has better torque than most and the batteries last a long time with it.

I won't use a wrench anymore. Awesome tool. Easy to handle with one hand

Great tool and very convenient! Havent had amy issues with it yet!

+ Great for getting into tight spots. - Not very powerful. Need to break tight nuts loose with a rachet before using.

Same review as the previous one and I just did all top notches battery life create easy to use very good durability very versatile and the power is great

Very handy tool. Works perfectly, need another one for home use.

The item works as expected. It's delivered before the date. The reason I gave only 3 stars because the item was wrapped in a plastic bag and put in the delivery envelope without manufacture box, without user manual. I believe that this is a refurbished item or returned item. It's not a new one.

Da hat Ryobi mal wieder einen Knaller gelandet. Als Automechaniker kenne ich diese Werkzeuge vorwiegend in der 1/2 Zoll Version mit Druckluftanschluß. Diese Geräte sind leichter, aber extrem laut und der Schlauch behindert auch sehr. In der Ryobi Akkuversion steht hier ein höheres Gewicht, und eine gewisse Unhandlichkeit durch den großen Akku dagegen. Das Gerät ist aber im Vergleich flüsterleise. Die von Ryobi angegebenen 55 Nm sind mehr als ausreichend. Dieser Schrauber hat echt Kraft. Dadurch, das man den Schraubkopf jederzeit um 360Grad verdrehen kann, wird das alles schon handlicher. Der lange Kopf läßt Arbeiten auch in engeren Räumen zu. Kommt aber auf Grund des großen Akkus trotzdem nicht an die Flexibilität der Druckluftgeräte ran. Am Schrauber selbst ist nur eine Arretierungstaste gegen das versehentliche Einschalten. Mehr nicht. Keine App Anbindung oder sonstiger überflüssiger Schnickschnack. Die Drehzahl regelt man über den Einschalter. Ganz einfach. Ich hab mit dieser Akkuratsche einen Krümmer mit M8 Muttern gewechselt, Zündkerzen ein und ausgeschraubt, ein komplettes Getriebe aus und eingebaut und diverse andere Schrauben geschraubt. Der Brushlessmotor wird nicht heiß und zickt nicht rum. Ich betreibe die Ratsche vorwiegend mit einem 3Ah Akku und mußte diesen noch nie bei irgendeiner Arbeit wechseln. Ich bin ein absoluter Fan von diesem Gerät.

I had to construct a large galvanised steel dog pen and run with limited access. I imagined that this will help do the bulk of the work and that I would have to tighten it up at the end with a proper ratchet. However it was if anything too powerful and I had to be careful not to dent the metal with the power of the machine. Very impressive.

Great Product

Works very well

Rechargeable tools are good for certain applications and air tools are needed for some heavier use.
