Christmas is coming! I was wondering is anyone can recommend a cordless rachet wrench with some attention to cost. I know they don't fit everywhere, but for those who own them, do you tend to use it? Thanks.

Have a Milwaukee 12v 3/8 inch model 2457 About $85, and I do use it.
I too still use the original M12 electric ratchet.
Haven't upgraded to the fuel version yet, though I want it for the feels.
The tool trucks have their own version, but they aren't very DIYer price friendly.
HF sells an affordable version too, but its taller/bigger than the original M12 ratchet.

M12 (non fuel) 3/8ths ratchet is awesome. I bought it in an HomeDepot package deal 3 M12 tools for 170$ IIRC. Usually it pays to buy them in bundles than tool alone.
Snap-on CTR761 and CTR767 are my favorites and use them all the time.

I don't mean to sidetrack the thread, but I'm also looking at cordless ratchets. Trying to decide whether 1/4 or 3/8 is more useful.

I agree with this. I did note that I use mine mostly with a 1/4" adapter, but it is nice to be able to apply a little more torque when necessary.

I have the Craftsmen cordless ratchet. Had a bunch of credit at Sears and needed to use it or lose. I hate that thing. It's too heavy and the adapter falls out of the tool all the time. Except if you try to remove it. Then it's in there firmly.
Love my snap on 12 volt...... but it wasn't cheap..... made in the USA!
Make sure you check out the Milwaukee M12. You need the tool AND the battery with charger. The FUEL ( brushless) version is a fair amount more but unless you're a pro or fixated on the latest, you probably don't need it.

I love my M12 ratchet, too! Can't go wrong with it. I don't have the FUEL version.

I thought about the Husky too, but I have several other Milwaukee tools with the M12, as well at spare batteries and 2 charges.
I think on the Husky, you have to plug it in to recharge.
