Skil cordless ratchet yea or nay?

I ordered one of these on Amazon . 5 year warranty. How’s the build quality ? My 1976 skil 543 3/4 drill is a beast well made. I briefly owned a skil 3x18 Belt sander. Loud and ran rough. Took it back and bought a makita 3x18 belt sander . Skil was bought by Bosch and then was used as a affordable consumer product . Bosch was the professional grade. Now I see skil making higher end stuff like a worm drive Miter saw. Anyway the skil looks promising. Not sure about quality even though it has the 5 year warranty . Normally 129 but on special for $69.

I’d of passed on that because of the way the battery is. I’d want the battery that goes in and not like the one you’d find on an impact gun like you have here. As a professional that seems it would get in the way. I’m not sure how quality would be but it maybe worth a try for you.

I have a Skil table saw and it's awesome! They have definitely upped their game since Chervon bought the brand. The only thing that I see that may be a problem with this ratchet is the size and length, but for your purposes it may work well. I ended up getting the Milwaukee because it was much smaller but it has very little torque (non Fuel).

The best thing about Amazon is that you can try it out and return it if you aren't satisfied.

Let us know how it works! I'm interested

I also ordered the right angle impact driver for $69. My old hitachi right angle impact driver has 268 inch pounds of torque. The skil has 900.

I canceled the order. I have a lot of Bosch 10.8/12 volt tools. I’ll wait til Bosch comes out with a ratchet and a impact driver in 10.8 /12 volt. . I have a ingersol rand 1/4 drive air ratchet . After canceling the skil I bought a aircat 802/5 1/2 drive air ratchet with 70 lb ft torque with 90 breakaway torque. I’ll use that til Bosch comes out with a cordless ratchet.
