Alloypower 3/8" 12V Extended Cordless Ratchet vs DeWalt 20V XR Sealed Head Ratchet
The DeWalt is the stronger tool: a brushless motor, 75 ft-lbs, 300 RPM, a sealed head and a trigger lock, and it takes DeWalt's 20V MAX batteries you may already own. The Alloypower wins on completeness, shipping with two 12V batteries, a charger, six sockets, both drive adapters and a case, so it works out of the box. Owners of the Alloypower praise its reach and value but note it is heavy and needs bolts broken loose by hand first. Buy the DeWalt for regular professional use; buy the Alloypower for occasional jobs and a self-contained kit.
- Choose the Alloypower if you want a ready-to-run kit with batteries, charger, sockets and a case included, and you mostly loosen fasteners that are already broken free.
- Choose the DeWalt if you already own 20V MAX batteries, want more torque and speed, and need a sealed head that shrugs off oil and solvent.
