    Used it all day on a Honda Oddysey engine job. Pulled every fastener including axle nuts and subframe bolts. Basically replacing my old 18v Makita. Love the autostop mode too.

    M12 Fuel ratchet review

    I gave up on the 1/2" fuel ratchet, acmetool kept on pushing back the date to 2018.. went with the 3/8" model for $135 shipped. Its larger and heavier than the old model for sure. A tradeoff for being stronger, both manual and motoring a fastener. This is a cheap old torque wrench I had laying...

    Welp, I finally did it.. (broken tool)

    After two years of faithful service I use way too much manual torque 80ft lbs+ if I had to guess and snap. I was going to wait for the fuel 1/2" to come out but I use this tool so much I can't wait.. Will they warrantee this or is it considered abuse?
