In the top 3
This is by far one of my favorite tools from Makita the 12-volt ratchet. I will put this ratchet in the top three with Milwaukee and the Earthquake from HF. I have all three and now this Makita has taken first place with power and speed and ergonomics.

The largest battery I had before this was the 2Ah, which is great, but when I plugged this 4Ah on my impact drill, I almost laughed maniacally. This battery seriously gave my drill at least 5X the performance boost. Drove 3" screws SO much faster and it felt so effortless! I went back and got 2 more! Makes my 12V tools feel like 18V tools. I was on the fence of upgrading to the 18V line, but not anymore. The CXT line has done everything I need in my DIY shop.
