Now with a battery on sale.


It's a good deal for $99 but for someone who doesn't own any battery compatible Milwaukee tools, it comes without a charger so that is an additional cost. I like the Husky for the DIY/Backyard mechanic, comes with a 34 piece socket set and case, 2 year warranty which can be extended at the time of purchase.

I see this as a special buy, perhaps today only, for $49.....Does appear you need to plug in tool to recharge.

^ What a long link. Whew! You can shorten that up by Inserting a Link option in the full editor. Once there, the 5th last option next to the white envelope. Has a globe with a paperclip in the icon pic. Then follow the prompts.

While I have my doubts regarding the battery, versus, say, the Milwaukee M12 version, it's a great deal for a casual user.

While I agree that 3/8 is primary, anyone serious about diy should have a good 1/4 set, perhaps higher quality than the 3/8! And learn to use it!

Doing jobs with 1/4 is just smaller, lighter and thus less fatiguing. I did an alternator replacement on my BMW with 1/4 sockets only and after that I was sold. I'll always reach for 1/4" first if I can.

I just ordered one for store pick up. I understand this not heavy duty like topic, but for the price and all that's included worth a try. 2 year warranty, if I don't like it 90 days to return. Won't be picking it up today though, a real mess here. As an aside, see this went FP on slickdeals, doubt these will last long at this price.

Have you looked at the Nepros 1/4 long handle ratchet? The 3/8 long handle small head is great also, it allows 1/4 size with 3/8 sockets.

I bought this cheap one to see if I would like it. Been using it more and more working on bikes and cars out in the garage. I'm sure it wouldn't hold up in daily use, but so far I like it.

I bought the Husky. Seems solid. A bit heavy. Haven't used it yet.

I had a 3/8" Earthquake with 12V Lithium battery. I don't use it too often, but so far, it works fine for me.

$130 for the Harbor Freight with no sockets.

At $50 for the Husky with 2 yr guarantee, 90 day return policy from Home Depot, case, 24 sockets with lifetime guarantee on the sockets, is a great deal.

I bought this a year ago for around $100 with coupon. But at $49, the Husky one is a super good deal.

 

[JeffKeryk]

I have the HF Earthquake as well. Wish I had one of those Milwalkees....
And that Husky for $49 is a steal.

 

[BeerCan]

just fyi the husky deal is dead

I ended up ordering the ac delco one from amazon for 103 bucks. I let you know my impressions when i get it

I don't think any cordless ratchet wrench will bust lug nuts but this 12 volt will:
