Best Ratchet Wrenches of 2025

“I purchased this ratchet as a gift for my husband, who had been using another brand. He specifically asked for this model after seeing it online, and I was pleased it arrived on time for his project. He's very particular about his tools, so if he loves this one, it must be a fantastic product. He keeps it in his red storage roller with his favorite tools and has already used it on his Toyota truck and around the house.”

“I received my order, and it was high-quality and well-packaged. The shipping was super fast, and I was thrilled with the overall feel of the product. I ordered this ratchet without batteries, so I’m waiting for my Milwaukee battery to arrive, but I can't wait to try it out!”

“I switched from an off-brand ratchet to this Milwaukee one, and I can confidently say it has way more torque. The retractable light is also a great feature when I'm working in low-light conditions.”

"I found this tool to be very useful and well-built for the price. The included sockets are a nice touch, and the two batteries were a welcome addition since most vendors only include one. It's compact for tight spaces, but the toggle for direction can sometimes get stuck against surfaces if I'm not careful. Overall, if you need a decent ratchet at a low cost, I recommend trying this one."

"This KIMO cordless ratchet set is exactly what I needed. It offers good quality and easy usability. The battery life is impressive, and it charges quickly. I appreciate the included sockets and sturdy case. For my DIY projects, it works perfectly and has always done the job without any hassle. I'd give it 4.5 stars!"

"I was searching for an affordable electric ratchet and came across this one. It has made my auto repairs significantly easier. I always break bolts loose by hand before using the ratchet, which saves time and effort. The tool feels solid and has a good weight to it. I’m thoroughly impressed with its performance and plan to try more tools from this brand!"

"I've been using this a LOT to assemble and disassemble things. This tool has been incredibly handy for me. Switching from a manual ratchet to this has saved me so much time. Just be cautious, as it has a lot of torque—I had a minor mishap where my hand got caught and it broke off a small M8 bolt. Overall, I'm very pleased with it, especially since the 3/8-1/2 inch head means I only need to carry one tool instead of two."

"I’ve always been a huge fan of DeWalt tools, and this ratchet truly lives up to their reputation. It has ample power and torque for all my tasks, from assembling grills to swingsets. The built-in work light is also a fantastic feature. If you’re considering purchasing this tool, I’d say go for it—my only regret is not buying it sooner!"

"So far, I am really enjoying this tool because it makes my jobs much easier without having to drag an airline from my compressor. It's perfect for tight angles, although I wish it had a bit more power."

“I absolutely love this tool! It arrived just in time for a water pump replacement. It saves me both time and energy, and does exactly what I need. The price versus quality is a fantastic deal, and it even comes with a battery and charger, plus some metric sockets.”

“After considering several electric ratchets, I chose this one because it's a trusted name brand and the price was truly unbeatable. While it's not the strongest or smallest option out there, it feels incredibly well-built and has withstood the abuse I've given it. The battery life is impressive!”

“I use this almost every day, and it works wonderfully! My only wish is that the battery lasted a bit longer, but overall it still performs really well for my needs.”

"I bought this after reviewing various motorized ratchets. The Aoben stood out for its cost, durability, and battery ratings. After testing, I found it worked well for tight spaces and had a good charge. It’s versatile as a regular ratchet too. Overall, I'm pleased with the high value for the price."

"I just received my tool today and charged the batteries. In less than 30 minutes, it worked perfectly, making it easier to handle those hidden bolts under cars. While it's not as powerful as a 20-volt impact driver, it’s a breeze to use and a real time saver! I can't believe I waited so long to get one!"

"This tool is amazing! It saves me from sore wrists and cramping fingers when working on long winded bolts. I just replaced a camshaft and it handled the job beautifully. This is a great little tool for the price and I would definitely recommend it!"

"I purchased this product along with two extra batteries. Its functionality is totally awesome! I absolutely love it, and it's perfect for the holiday season. Great present! The build quality is excellent, and the case it came in is well worth the money."

"According to my husband, this tool has been a huge help for him. He's really benefiting from it!"

"I got this as a Christmas gift for my dad. He’s going to love it! It came with the tool, a tool bag, sockets, and a charger."

“I was impressed with this tool for the money.”

“This made my life easier in replacing multiple car parts.”

“I was really glad to have it for getting the deck off our lawnmower. It worked great.”

"I find this ratchet very handy. It definitely speeds up any mechanic job and has more power and torque than I expected. I'm really happy with my purchase!"

"This ratchet is fantastic for both beginners and experienced mechanics. It's easy to hold, has a great grip, and the feature to switch between 1/2 inch and 3/8 inch sockets is a huge plus. Definitely worth the money!"

"I've been using the DeWalt ratchet consistently since it arrived, and I’m not disappointed. It’s slim enough to reach tight spots and turns bolts quickly. The weight is manageable, and I appreciate the lockout feature for safety."

"I recently tested the DEWALT ATOMIC 20V, and I must say, it's a game-changer in compact power tools. The sleek and compact design impressed me, as it feels robust with an ergonomic grip for comfort. Its lightweight design makes it easy to maneuver in tight spaces."

"Santa Claus gifted me this tool, and I put it to work right away on my truck. The size is perfect—a bit longer than an air ratchet, but I loved the battery power with no compressor hassle. Its strong torque amazed me, although I had to be careful not to overdo it."

"I've always been a fan of DEWALT products, and this one is no exception. The fit and finish are great, and the forward/reverse lever locks positively. While I don't push it to break tight bolts, my experience with DEWALT tools has been consistently reliable."

"This ratchet is perfect for tight spaces where a drill can't reach. It's quick and efficient with a nice clutch that prevents injury when it gets tight, though it can kick a bit unexpectedly. A two-handed grip helps a lot. Having this dedicated ratchet alongside my drill motors is fantastic."

"I'm really impressed with the build quality of this tool. It's a true time-saver for small bolts, and the price is reasonable since I already had the battery. I use it occasionally, but it's incredibly handy when I need it."

"I chose this option because I already have other Milwaukee tools. While there may be more powerful options out there, it performs very well for my daily tasks in the auto shop. I equipped it with some generic 3000 mAh batteries, and with moderate use, they hold charge for 2 to 3 days."
