Any recommendations for a DIY'er cordless ratchet that will hold up to occasional (and sometimes heavy) use without breaking the bank? Seems like M12 is the go-to but you sure do pay for it.

I gat the regular one for my BIL as a gift. He loves it.Just get the regular one, not the Fuel. For a weekend warrior it's more than enough, and it's smaller.
Why not this? Not $400, only 179. Not much more than $130.I was in this same boat. I was getting ready to change the valve cover gaskets on my 04 Silverado with an LS 4.8 in it. Truck sits up high and I needed something to help me out. Rather than shelling out over 400 for a Milwaukee that won't get a ton of use, I decided to take a chance on a harbor freight Hercules extended cordless ratchet. For 130 bucks (25 dollar discount when you buy the ratchet, charger and battery together) it really can't be beaten. Having the extended head to reach the hard to get to places really saved me a lot of headache. I will not be without a cordless ratchet every again.
Because I wanted an extended reach ratchet, and batteries for the HF are 25 bucks.Why not this? Not $400, only 179. Not much more than $130.
