Im looking for an Impact Wrench with a 1/2 in drive and MUST be cordless/battery operated.
Im also looking for an Electric Ratchet, with a 3/8 drive, obviously also battery operated.
I found Makita tools on Home depot with each of these for just over $300 for an impact with 430 breakaway torque and the ratchet has multiple drives as well.
What are some places I should look at that offer these tools? What are the best brands. Are Makita's tools reliable? Thank you. I'm trying to save money without buying junk.
Milwaukee makes great impact wenches and electric ratchets. If your going to get a set of electric tools you should stick with one brand as with some brands have interchangeable battery's.
Milwaukee, trumps them all.
The 3/8 electric ratchet, is this just a time saving thing over a hand operated one?
Dewalt xr 20v max 1/2" impact.
- Up to 700 ft-lbs of max torque and 1200 ft-lbs of max breakaway torque
AC Delco ARW1210-3P G12 Heavy duty 3/8 ratchet
- Up to 65 ft lbs.
Thank you guys for the responses, will put that into consideration.
The Car Wizard has Milwaukee listed on his Amazon Affiliates page: so it’s another endorsement since you asked about the best; it’s definitely up there, however it’s not cheap but still very good brand.

Research the Makita one some more, especially since no one directly addressed that one. It’s cheaper but check reviews, complaints on-line. I’m in the market for impact wrench as well and not sure I want to spend $600 on an impact wrench (Milwaukee) that I might use once in a while.
Scotty does not have battery powered, cordless impact tool on his Amazon affiliates page so not sure what he recommends.
Thank you!
Milwaukee is good, somis the AC Delco cordless ratchets. Dewalt makes a good 1/2” impact as well. I do know Makita, Milwaukee all use different smaller batteries for their ratchets than what they use for their impacts. My impact is a Ridgid high torque 1/2”, went that route because all my other cordless tools are ridgid. They do not make a cordless ratchet, So I went the AC Delco route. Best bang for the buck.
