My tool and boot are suppose to show up tomorrow from Acme Tool. If this does what it claims to do it's going to be a killer.

Fed, Sadly not today. It was suppose to be today but no dice. Also Skin is right. I just looked at my invoice and the boot is on back order and wasn't shipped. BOO HISS!!

Hey Fed, if you're a good boy, I'll let you know when I've got it and you can come over at lunch time and look it over and play with it. Ain't seen you in awhile so it would be nice to say hi.

This is awesome, I somehow missed it. The old 1/2" anvil'd M18 2667 was dismal. Hopefully these are better.
I'm tempted to order the 3/8" today...

Fed, PM is there. Initial impressions:
PRO: 1) This sucker is a beast. Same power as the stubby. No apparent sacrifice caused by the right angle design.
2) The mode four is super cool. IN REVERSE you get full power until the fastener breaks loose than it slows way down so nuts and bolts don't go flying everywhere. IN FORWARD it gently screws the bolt in until it bottoms and then stops dead. Whip out the torque wrench to finish the job.
CONS: It is slightly longer and heavier than I anticipated. In my mind I was imagining sort of like the original M12 ratchet and this is a lot bigger than that. Pretty similar to the I-R hammerhead air version.

Thank you for the review. That is very cool that they are taking advantage of the Hull effect sensor to do helpful things.
Someone suggested it could replace the long reach ratchet. That’s probably true in some cases but not in all. It still sounds like a really good tool.
I’m still waiting for Skin’s brake caliper bracket test.
So I'm thinking you like this a lot more than the M12 Fuel ratchet
