Sealey 12V SV12 Series 3/8"Sq Drive Ratchet Wrench Kit - 2 Batteries CP1202KIT, Red/Black

If you like working on cars, you'll love a ratchet wrench and wonder how you managed without one. If you don't know (forgive me if you do), the big difference between a ratchet wrench and an impact wrench is the action: An impact wrench uses a hammer action to hit the nut or bolt loose. You must always use impact sockets to avoid them shattering and those sockets will be 6 point as 12 point will ruin the nut or bolt head. Impact wrenches are great for undoing stubborn fittings, but next to useless for tightening them as they will never be at the right torque. A 450nm impact wrench will easily remove wheel nuts, but will put them back on at 4 times their torque value! A ratchet wrench, however, doesn't use a hammer action at all, just a simple turning action, just like a normal socket set wrench. Therefore you put much less damaging hammering action on the nut/bolt and can use 12 point non-impact sockets AND when tightening, you put much less damaging torque so won't strip the threads. In use, just like a normal socket set wrench, you use hand force to loosen the bolt. Once it starts to turn by hand, you then press the button and the head spins and undoes the bolt completely. The reverse is true: Press the button until the bolt is fully tightened and the wrench stops turning and then finish it off by manually applying force just as you would with a hand ratchet. Because you don't have to manually make the ratchet motion, it is also great for confined spaces. As long as you can fit it over the bolt, that is the only space you need. Press the button and the bolt undoes. No need for lots of space either side whilst you try and undo something. It will breeze through engine covers or undertrays - anything where there are a load of nuts or bolts. They just fly off. You really will wonder how you managed without one. It's probably my favourite tool and certainly the most useful The lithium battery holds it charge even when stored so it's always ready and you get a spare battery anyway. It's well made and a great accessory for any mechanic.

First off, this kit / tool isn't designed to loosen or tighten a nut or bolt like an impact gun would. If that's what you need, then buy the appropriate tool. It only has 45Nm / 33lb.ft or torque, no it's not a lot, but the whole point of this great tool, given it has a ratchet built into the head, is to firstly crack the nut / bolt loose, then pull the trigger to wind it out the rest of the way, saving you the time on your manual ratchet doing it yourself. Don't expect this to loosen & remove stubborn rusty suspension bolts & the like, the tool isn't designed to do that & there's no way it ever could. It's a cracking price, both my batteries came almost fully charged, the charger is a 1hr quick charger, the ratchet head where you put the socket is nice & narrow, allowing you to get into confined spaces, it also has an LED pointing directly at what your socket is on, the batteries are also fairly small, so making access to difficult to reach spaces even better. You get a canvas bag too which is way bigger than the kit, but will no doubt come in useful at some point.

Great little addition, helps with some of the interior trim and engine rebuilding tasks, makes jobs alot easier and quicker, I reccomend you crack off with a ratchet or bar first tighter items, and the same with doing up you want to to nip up with a bar, ratchet or torque wrench, but for that time of stood there ratcheting a ratchet backwards and forwards it can help same time substantially.

Does exactly what its meant to, saves the wrist work, been using it for couple days in workshop and battery lasting well, overall can’t criticise the wrench its well made and as good a quality as my other red cordless tools from a dearer brand

This is pretty good, good trade off between bulk and power which is the key thing for these. locks so can do first loosen and last tighten beyond motor ability. Uses the 12v battery system which is good from Sealey, I have torch and dremel style multi tool on these two so the two batteries with this are good. Quality seems good and metal moving parts so should last in workshop environment

Can’t complain. Does the job nicely and two batteries will keep you going

I have similar air tools, but fancied electric just for unwinding cracked off bolts and the like. It has decent power, but nothing spectacular. I have just been using it to do a cambelt and found it really worthwhile to have. Unlike air tools, it doesn’t have the air connector which is a bit restrictive in tighter spaces. I found that with my Bluepoint 3/8” service kit, I had a great variety of sockets and extensions to cover the whole job. I especially liked how it can be used as a normal ratchet. The battery lasted quite well too considering its size. It came with two batteries, charger and a carry bag. I definitely recommend it for car enthusiasts and light mechanical work.

Great little ratchets I’m a mechanic and use it daily perfect for timing belt covers etc and any other smaller bolts

Todo Ok nuy buen producto

Hat nicht die Mega Leistung aber wenn die Schrauben mal offen sind ist eine erleiterung diese abzuschrauben bzw. wieder dran zu schrauben, möchte ich nicht mehr missen da alles viel schneller geht.

Acquisto azzeccatissimo ho aspettato 6 mesi di utilizzo professionale per recensirlo e devo dire che mi ha cambiato la vita. serro brugole da 4 e da 5 dadi da 10 e da 13 tutti i giorni da 6 mesi a questa parte, scaricando almeno 1 batteria al giorno e non ha mai perso un colpo, piccolo e maneggievole é utilissimo per risparmiare la salute delle mani. Rapporto qualità prezzo incredibile il milwaukee costa il doppio e non ha niente di piu.. Sperimentero' sicuramente anche altri articoli di questo marchio.

Nulla da invidiare a prodotti di marca superiore.... Anzi validissimo!

Waar voor je geld goed in orde. Zou niet meer kunnen missen.
