got this last night,

[petty4243]

stopped at walmart and found my way to the clearance row... they had these cordless 1/4 drive skil ratchets... are they worth a hoot or not? only gave $20.00 for it, thought I would take a chance... thought it might work in some places my drill driver will not fit under dashes etc...

They work great for working under the dash where space is tight.. Nice find!

 

[jshillin]

I have one, picked it up cheap from woot.com
I used it a lot when I put together my Gladiator cabinets and I didn't have any issues.

 

[petty4243]

there were 4- 6 more if any one needs one, $20.00 plus tax... could try to help someone out

 

[JimShortz99]

Lowes has them with the screwdriver on clearance as a package, at least in parts of the country.

I remember when they first came out a few years ago, they were clearanced, then a few months later I saw them on shelves again at regular price. I'm guessing they came out with a slightly more powerful version and clearanced the weaker ones. Anybody else notice the same thing? I never bothered to check the amps or volts or anything. You probably have the stronger version.

IIRC someone on here got one at HD for $5 (the older version)

 

[petty4243]

I did use it today after charging for about half the day... it does not have a lot of torque, but for what i intended it to be used for, should be fine... it does also work as a large ratchet manualy(even mentioned in manual as ok)

all in all, satisfied so far

think it'll be good for 10mm bolts on some Toyota's air box?
I hate this design. Whats wrong w/ clips? :madface: /rant

When I read this post I got up off my couch and walked the 1/4 mile over to the super Walmart. Unfortunately, these wrenches are still $49 there (on sale from $59).

I normally avoid Walmart (the only things I buy there are 9mm ammo and synthetic motor oil), but I already have one of these wrenches and I really like it. It's great for running fasteners in or out. I still use a real wrench to tighten or loosen things.

But last weekend I grabbed the wrench out of the charger, and it was non-responsive. Clicking the button does nothing. The green light comes on in the charger, but the wrench doesn't work.

I want another one, but apparently my price point is somewhere between $49 and $19. And I don't feel like going back to Walmart to check on an updated price.

i do not get to walmart much myself... it is about an hour away from me... i just had to go to a big company pow wow after work last night and decided to stop... never hurts to take a peek.. i might snag the rest of them next time I am there for you guys on GJ... if there are any left when i get there lol

 

[mkdive]

nice gesture!

 

[idubvdub]

I guess I'll assume it can handle the bolts and make the trip. I hate Walmart, maybe it's my add or the lights but I always feel almost high when I walk in...
I hate it, I feel so disoriented
