Cordless ratchet

I got a Milwaukee cordless 3/8" ratchet for my birthday last month from my better half. I have to say it's pretty impressive. 35 ft/lb of torque and small enough to get into most gaps. The battery lasts for ages too. I wouldn't use it for loosening tight nuts and bolts, but it's really handy for areas where you don't have enough room to swing a manual ratchet. So break the tight ones first with a regular ratchet and then use this. To be honest, they'd have to be pretty tight to need that.

As I say I've had a month and it's saved me hours already. http://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tool ... ss/2457-21
 
I've been waiting for a cordless one to come out, I've been using air powered ones for years, they are great in tight spaces as you don't need to move them except to break the nut initially if tight. one job on a concrete saw I used to repair used to take me two hours 15 minutes and knocked it down to 15 minutes! What voltage is the ratchet? the 18v batteries are pretty big in realtion to the tool size.
 
Sorry I missed this earlier. It's a 12v. I was convinced it would just be a spinner type tool but it holds up well. The battery is a new gen lithium ion jobbie and lasts forever off a 1 hour charge. I've found it a real time saver.
