Hey all,
I will post each video in oztooltalk’s M12 mechanic / auto series in the thread, for those interested. The latest video will always be at the top of this post.
The tools for review are:
- 3/8″ Ratchet
- FUEL 3/8″ Wrench (still to come)
- FUEL Drill (still to come)
- Sander / polisher
- Rotary Tool (still to come)
- Mspector camera
- Stick light
- Jobsite radio
- Multi-charger
- USB Charger
And the Jobsite Radio, USB Charger and 4-Bay Sequential Charger.
And now the Mspector (inspection camera) and Stick Light!
Next up, the Sander / Polisher:
First up, the 3/8″ Ratchet!
Nice review ! Battery ratchets are cool 🙂
Just picked up that 3/8″ ratchet, haven’t used it yet though.
Great review

You won’t be disappointed once you use it.

I’ve messed with it a little but naturally when I buy a new tool of course I haven’t needed to use it.

I got the 3/8 ratchet last week. I have used it several times and it works good. I like the fact that it is quiet. My air ratchet is very loud.
Nice review dwain!!
Always had good experience with mine!
Are ratchets measured as 1/4″ 3/8″ 1/2″ etc the world over even in metric places?

Yes, everywhere in the world I think, the drive is measures as 1/4″, 3/8″, 1/2″, 3/4″, 1″, etc. I don’t mind that, as long as the bolts and sockets are metric…

Thats a good question, never really thought about that

The German tool catalog I have downloaded (Hazet) calls them 6.3mm, 10mm, and 12.5mm.
Which is, of course, 1/4″, 3/8″, and 1/2″. LOL
Good videos as usual, Dwain, at least the only one I’ve watched so far, the ratchet. I’ll get to the others after some garage clean up time. One question, though. In Europe, it seems like most mechanics/techs skip over 3/8″ drive tools and use mostly 1/4″ and 1/2″, where in the US 3/8″ is by far the most popular. How is it in OZ?

Thanks BK! Hmm I don’t have a good feel for what the pros are doing really. Many of the sets sold here are combination sets, containing 1/4″ + 3/8″. There are even some 3/8″ + 1/2″ sets, though not as common. I’d say 3/8″ is still a strong line in Oz…
just added a review of the jobsite radio, 4-bay sequential charger and USB power pack.
