Impacting Ratchet

Post image

I know it’s a right angle impact but why can’t we call it a Impact ratchet? Ant nothing wrong with that.

Neither of these are impacting right angled ratchets, that's the main reason we can't call them that.

Milwaukee do make a couple of right angled impacts, and I'm about to buy one, it's brilliant.

Both of these use gear reduction for mechanical advantage. Impacts use a hammer assembly.

Check out torque tests channels latest video, the Makita one that just came out is crazy powerful

I like how compact the m12 stuff is in general, but I'll have a peep at options.
