Craftsman 20v RP vs Hercules

[Speedracer 64]

I'm looking to pick up a few cordless electric tools, mainly a impact wrench and ratchet. This will only be for DIY working on vehicles. They are both at a pretty similar price point. I do already have a Craftsman drill/driver. With just 1 tool/battery, not sure if its worth staying in that family if the other is superior. Thoughts/opinions?

The Craftsman stuff (mechanically) is essentially Dewalt (to a degree).

Real world, they probably perform the same.

I've been honestly impressed with my long neck 1/4" Hercules ratchet so far. I picked up the 1/4" anvil impact as well. That thing is IMPRESSIVE! I picked up both tools, 2 batteries and a charger for around $200 around Christmas time.

Check out the tool test youtube videos on the "Torque Test Channel" and "Shop Tool Reviews w/ Tim Johnson". Many cordless impact wrenches, ratchets and other tools tested. Batteries, socket adapters and the list goes on.
