Is this ratchet strong enough for lug nuts?

At 88 ft-lbs it can loosen many fasteners, but lug nuts and rusted bolts often need more. Use a breaker bar or an impact wrench for those and save the ratchet for lighter work.

How long do the two batteries last?

Runtime depends on the load. Two 2000mAh 20V packs let you swap when one drains, so you are not stuck waiting on a charger mid-job.

Does it come with sockets?

Yes. The kit includes sockets and an extension along with the two batteries and charger, so it is usable out of the box.

Can it reach tight engine bay spaces?

The slim head and roughly 3-pound body are made for that. It is still larger than a hand ratchet, so check clearance before buying.

Does it have a light?

Yes, a built-in LED illuminates dark work areas.

Is it a replacement for an impact wrench?

No. It is a ratchet for running nuts and bolts at 0-500 RPM. For heavy, stuck fasteners an impact wrench with higher torque is the better tool.

Our take on the Three Eighths Inch Cordless Ratchet Wrench Set

This is a 3/8-inch cordless ratchet wrench built around a brushless motor, rated at 88 ft-lbs and 0-500 RPM. It weighs about 3 pounds and has a slim head for engine bays and other tight spots, with forward/reverse and a built-in LED. The kit ships with two 20V 2000mAh batteries, a charger, sockets and an extension, so it runs without a cord and keeps a spare battery on hand. Against corded ratchets and bare-tool kits, the two-battery bundle and brushless motor are the draw; it is a general-purpose power ratchet, not a replacement for a high-torque impact wrench.
