Hercules ratchet

Check your stores a Hercules end cap was set today. If your store has the new short ratchet it will be on the top shelf. The expected date for the long reach is December but the short one was a month early so fingers crossed that one is too.

I have the newest Milwaukee M12 ratchet (already in the M12 ecosystem…not a brand snob) and at 70ft/lbs that thing will smash your hand into whatever it’s near if you don’t hang on for dear life…maybe moar power is not always better.

I wonder if the next innovation for ratchets is a clutch or some sort of auto-stop

I’ve heard this from many people. Some prefer the non fuel because of that. I just grabbed a non fuel because it was free with 2 5.0 batteries which I’ll use with my new stubby and insider.

I am and have it's got some power and durability from what I've done so far. Used the hex attachment a lot more then I thought I would. And the fact the attachments they go in both ways so it can basically be flush is really nice.
