ONE+ HP 18V Brushless Cordless 3/8 in. Extended Reach Ratchet (Tool Only)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great tool, I highly recommend it, no returning to the days of manual ratchets. The Royobi battery could be a bit bulky, can get tricky in tight spaces, however, the rotating head is a nice feature that comes in handy for tight access.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This extended Ratchet will come in handy for those hard to get to places the standard ratchet can’t get too, like the dual light so when you adjust the head you have light on object. You have a switch that will lock and unlock the trigger so no accident turn on’s, solid shaft so will hold up well for your needs. And as always all the lithium 18v batteries will fit and 3 year warranty.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started looking at several different wireless ratchets, looking at several different manufacturers and This ryobi beat the others hands down. Has the power that was better than most, Lasts much longer than the others and that is using a small battery. The price is great compared to other high end and the ryobi out performs. I love it and highly recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just bought this multi-tool yesterday. Its powerful and works great for a DYI like me.

I love Ryobi and when I see this one I knew I had to have it, primarily because my other tools just couldn't get to the area I wanted to fix up. With the extended and rotatable head I can approach from the side instead of directly in front of what I'm working on. Previous home owners built an AC fence in front of a window, to get to hardware installed on the frame you have little room to work with. This tool gets the job done. It's also great in automotive and other applications for spaces that even traditional wrenches have a hard time turning in. With this tool only the head turns not the whole body. The only draw back is because it's motorized it's got a bit of weight to it, but it's worth it for the short time you'd use it.

To test this product out, I took the blade off of my lawnmower so I could sharpen it. The tool lacks the torque to loosen a bolt that is tightly screwed on, but once loosened, the electric ratchet took the bolt off super quick and easy. Similarly, when I went to tighten the blade back on, the ratchet spun a little more than finger tight, but needed some additional torque. The wrench does allow manual twisting, but does not ratchet back for you to keep twisting. Once the bolt is tight, you can put it on low speed to and move the handle back and it will allow you to then put some extra torque on it. The other thing I'll point out is that the wrench does come with a LOT of grease inside of it. It was hard to get pictures of, but it could easily attract some dirt. PROS: - Can quickly loosen and tighten bolts provided you don't need them super tight with just the automatic torque. - Can reach into tight spaces - Control paddle is very precise and allows easily variable speed - Head rotates to get at any angle needed - LED lights illuminate your work area on both sides. - Extended reach ratchet does provide extra leverage when manually tightening/loosening CONS: - Comes pretty greasy from the factory. The grease on the internal components comes out; could collect dust/dirt easily, causing wear and tear - Not super high torque, so you'll have to start/finish the bolts manually. The wrench does allow manual use of the wrench, but does not ratchet for you (though you can use the power at low speed and turn it to reset the handle). I may not recommend this tool if you don't already have Ryobi 18v products, but this is a good one to add if you are fully into the ecosystem already.

Ryobi's extremely long neck/Extended Reach 3/8" 18V Brushless Ratchet is meant for getting at those impossible-to-get-at fasteners that have us all thanking the automotive engineers for their forethought and kindness. This reaches 6" to 8" further than standard length ratchets, is brushless, has twin bright LED worklights, and is rated for 55 ft-lbs of torque. The tool itself doesn't weigh anymore than my old standard length pneumatic 3/8" ratchet and has a unique four-position rotating head. The soft durometer over-molded grip is definitely more comfortable than my old chrome-only tool and the paddle trigger has a good range of variable speeds, including real slow. This is a specialty tool for those hard to reach places--making my Saturday laying on my back, reaching up into the engine a bit more pleasant. 5 Stars.

My husband likes to work on his car so I chose this Ryobi One 18V cordless 4 position ratchet. The slim head, 4 position capability and extended reach feature makes it easy to reach into smaller areas and the LED light is great for doing work on cloudy days. The fact that is part of the Ryobi One collection means there is no need to buy another battery. Also, the custom paddle switch gives you more comfort while working.

Another great tool to help get jobs done quickly. I used the Ryobi ⅜ extended reach ratchet to take my lawnmower blade off to sharpen. I also used to take my break light cluster off to change a brake bulb. The tool is plenty powerful, upto 55ft-lbs of torque, thanks to the brushless motor. The bolt holding the break light cluster in actually broke due to my error in how fast it works. That was my fault not the tool!, but be careful! The head can lock in 90 degree increments in relation to the battery to provide access to hard to reach areas where the battery may get in the way. I love how the paddle trigger is variable speed, you can rotate the head, and the extended head provide access to hard to reach areas. There is also a mounting place for a belt clip (not included) .

I have always used standard handheld ratchets, but wanted something to improve my speed working on my vehicles and putting together large projects. The Ryobi ratchet works with my 18v one+ batteries and that was a big factor in my choice. I also like the price vs quality of Ryobi tools in general. The ratchet is easy to change directions on and fits my socket set well. I also like the lights to help light up your work area. I like the power provided, but would like if there was a torque/speed option to change. The ratchet could also bee more compact in the handle area and extendable so it could be shorter or longer. Overall great tool, but not perfect.
