If I didn’t watch this video I wouldn’t have understood the context. I would have led myself to believe Ryobi had some cool feature like an overdrive feature or something.

[@reyztec]

My old Ryobi ratchet suffered the same fate. I cranked on something I probably shouldn't have and snapped exactly the same way. It's unfortunate the replacement head costs as much as the bare tool to replace. So I picked up the M12 and wow I was impressed, definitely going to continue my M12 tool collection.

[@reyztec]

@@phateracing Mine snapped at the anvil. I haven't bothered to take it apart to look for any further damage but I couldn't find the anvil itself for sale through Ryobi or other parts providers, only the entire head assembly.

[@NG-VQ37VHR]

My m12 2567 is what started my milwaukee collection. An electric ratchet was one of those tools that, before I used one, I always thought I would never need it. It's still my favorite and most used tool, along with my 2767.

[@user-white007]

My one tip is always keep your receipt or some type of proof of purchase, and take a picture of the serial number well it’s still there. Milwaukee warranty is nice just send it out and wait

[@user-lp7dd7dz9m]

It's also much more compact. I started my M12 collection with the 3/8 ratchet also. It was my first milwaukee tool.

[@InLineDiesel6]

The advantage goes to Milwaukee for its smaller size and the ability for the smaller batteries to fit into the handle. This makes getting into tight areas easier than with the rest of the ratchets. I like the rotating head on the Ryobi but looking at the other end of the Ryobi, the footprint of the battery makes this feature a must have. It is nice to have choices, we can select the tool that works for us.

[@summitlt]

Using these all day every day. The Ryobi and Makita would immediately be a no go just because of the size. The Milwaukee is big in the real world but mines got hundreds of hours on it.

[@rickilydickily]

The only gripe i have with my milwaukee is the damn paddle trigger. It’s still the best performing cordless ratchet i’ve used. tons of applications, but damn it if i don’t wish it had a simple button instead.

[@ZERONEINNOVATIONS]

I own this Makita 18V with 2AH "slim" battery but it's actually not slim. Because of the added width and also length, my makita cordless ratchet is the only makita tool I hate. ALL of my coworkers have Milwaukee m12 one and those are shorter and waay more useful. I have a lot of experience that I was able to use a cordless ratchet, if my Makita ratchet was Milwaukee size. I would buy husky cordless ratchet

[@snotrocket1142]

i have the ryobi. it’s definitely odd, but that rotating head is a life saver and it has never let me down. i find myself grabbing that one over my other options more often than not

[@andycanfixit]

I got a set of the Ryobi 3/8ths and 1/4 inch drive ones around black friday time frame for like $130 for both an and extra 4ah batter for $30. Used them quite a bit since and that rotating head really is handy.

I’ve got the M12 high speed 1/4” drive based mostly off your reviews. I do love it it truly is great. It’s actually faster then some of my cordless compact screwdrivers are in high gear. Though if I’m honest I do wish it had more torque. In fact the super high speed can be a bit of a detriment when trying to slowly start difficult to access fasteners. At least in my opinion. Quite frankly I think using any cordless ratchet above a 100ftlbs is just asking for trouble so to me the breakage of the Ryobi is literally a non issue. I ain’t trading in my Milwaukee but I like the soft start, high torque, and rotatable head of the Ryobi and I’ve got a bit of a soft spot in my heart for them so I’m glad to see them do well. Now all Milwaukee has to do is slow the ratchet down a hair (only if it means more torque), add in the rotating head option, and the easily swappable anvil and they’d have a killer ratchet on their hands! Even better on top of all that, give it a two speed gear box and perhaps a few modes that includes a soft start and then conquer the cordless ratchet world! Yes it would be expensive but I think a lot of professionals would pay a higher price for a ratchet that has literally every single option you could ever want on it because with the exception of a long neck, you could literally replace multiple other cordless ratchets with just one and actually save money.

[@DarkSession6208]

I work at a Tool dealership in logistics. Even the Makita is noticable slower, theres one thing that would keep me from buying the ryobi. We never had any big Makita mechanical tool returns from customers... but like 2-3 Ryobis products each week. I got the 12V version since 2 years, and also makita cordless drills ... dropped it like 100 times, charged it like 600 times, and the charge still holds like the battery was new.

[@oddojaggins]

I have that LXT ratchet, definitely has been a lifesaver in tight spots. I've always avoided using it manually just in case but the time and effort it's saved when working on interiors of cars has made it worth the cost

Just purchased the M12 from your link to help out the channel. Thanks for the testing and the awesome commentaries during the videos!

[@TorqueTestChannel]

Hey, only buy tools you need - but much appreciated!

[@Motortainment]

@@TorqueTestChannel No worries! I was looking at tools anyways. I saw it was the best-rated on your spreadsheet, looked at the sale that was going on, and figured I'd buy.

[@Oldnobrand]

Used my Ryobi long neck 3/8 this weekend and I can assure you the torque is noticeable and works well only drawback is the battery size and head size. Although the battery does double as a useful grab point for more leverage in light of the warning on this test

[@afellowinnewengland6142]

Great work and analysis guys. This channel seems to improve with each passing week. As for the test results- I use ratchets as a ratchet-not an impact. Therefore, I don't care about peak torque-I care about removal speed. When I use a ratchet it's my job to break tough nuts loose by hand and then use the motor to spin things off quickly. I currently own a Milwaukee 12V and it gets the job done reliably and quickly and nothing is going to snap when I lean on it.

[@richadent968]

I have a Skil 12volt ratchet. It is rated for 150 ft lbs of torque as a hand ratchet. Makes since you know that you will be braking nuts free by hand and then running them off. Had it for a year. Still working fine. Slower then an air ratchet but a lot easier to use without the need for an air hose

[@TyphaDog]

Very interesting. I bought the Makita 12v a couple years back because I loved the idea that it is both 1/4 and 3/8. It's relatively fast and in practice works quite well. That said, I also bought the 1/4 Milwaukee extended high-speed ratchet and it's really an excellent tool and fast in practice. So, I use both depending on the need at the time.

[@mathewryan4881]

[@ericjswindle]

In my mind, it is hard to beat the Milwaukee on ergonomics. I realize that is tough to measure objectively, but I can see getting it in places the others simply won’t go.

[@mediocreman2]

Weighs a lot less too

[@somesweatymexicanxd2398]

that’s why i got this one and the long reach

[@TacticalBaconPatches]

The biggest problem I've had with my Makita 12V is because it uses a reversible sprag-clutch design for spinning the head, if you get oil in the head it tends to slip when you try to use it as a cordless ratchet. Probably doesn't help that I've put some stupid torque on it in both directions (up to and including my bodyweight, around 185 lbs).

[@v8packard]

I have a 12v Makita CXT and 2 Milwaukee M12 Fuel ratchets. I use the Makita the most. I like that it isn't as powerful, because it can snug things up quickly with no damage and then I can finish torquing properly. Even though the Makita is bigger, it feels sturdier and it's performance matches my use better.

[@jkohutiak]

i have the Makita Ltx 18v ratchet. its a POS. thing is useless.

[@v8packard]

@@jkohutiak Maybe you should get that fixed

[@POLOLOUS3]

I picked up the 18v makita a couple years ago. I am heavy into m18 and m12 tools. The reason for the makita is the ability to switch between 1/4 or 3/8 heads.

[@AlPhAlPhAzSmAsH69]

Definitely need to test the snap on we have both snap on and Milwaukee in my shop and just based on the feel test by using them I prefer the snap on, but look forward to some actual data!

[@guyforlogos]

I wanted to buy a Milwaukee ratchet but I have had Ryobi One tools for nearly twenty years, so when they finally got a ratchet I bought it, I am very pleased with it. I generally never use it to break a bolt, just for speed when needed. So I won’t break it on my 3/4 ton lug nuts 😬. The biggest down side to using it is the ginormous (for a ratchet) battery and it fitting in tight areas. I might still get a Milwaukee for that reason alone.

[@kylefowler5082]

The one thing Ryobi has going for it is if you are a cheap person you can usually find the Ryobi tool you want for a low price at Direct Tools if you wait long enough. The factory reconditioned stuff when on sale is dirt cheap

[@JBPlaysGames1]

I'd really be intrigued to see how the hyper tough from walmart works out against some of the name brands. I'm sure it's not on the same level obviously, but the sheer value of those things ($40 standard length full kit, and $60 for extended reach) makes me curious how they match up even if not THAT close.

[@machinis]

I have an M12 provided at work, and a Hyper Tough at home. At the end of the day, I'm not using an electric ratchet to race to the finish line, nor to apply heavy loads of torque, but rather convenience.

[@JBPlaysGames1]

@I am not Ashli Babbitt yeah same here. I can be a bit of a tool hoarder and my first ratchet was the extended Ryobi HP, then I got the hyper tough and eventually a 1/4 extended Hercules and I use them all interchangeably.

[@themoemechanic]

I have the brushed Ryobi P344, 3/8 drive ratchet. I've broken it twice in the exact same way- the drive spindle (crankshaft is what the part is called) breaks near the top where the drive end goes into the rotating ratcheting assembly in the head. It's not particularly hard to fix, just really inconvenient (since you'd be in the middle of a job, obviously). I've gotten good at taking it apart to fix it; but I realize that it isn't a selling point whatsoever. 😅 Great testing TTC, Love you guys. Keep up the great work. 👍

[@pyzik17]

I have both milwaukee 55lb version and makita . I prefer makita 18v one , the forward and reverse switch is easier to turn and feels better in hand , and ofcourse battery lasts forever .

[@RANDOMNATION907]

I seriously wish Ryobi would update their battery platform. There are adapters that allow other brands batteries to work on their tools. They could just offer an adapter that mates the "new" battery to their old tools. Simple.

[@mantisushi]

I also have matco’s sealed head 1/4 drive ratchet and i prefer the ryobi. love that thing, and the rotating head! great tool for price: It may have broke here, but no one should be putting 150lbs of torque on one of these tools anyways.

[@hanyoukimura]

I have the HP extended reach ratchet. Love that tool. The extra length combined with the rotating head makes the big battery a non issue in most cases. Clever solution for the the big footprint problem, and as a bonus it can stand up with good stability up when not in use.

I have the longer ryobi brushless ratchet. The rotating head is ok, but it would be better if the battery rotated instead of the head... like on the old blue right angle drill. Then the trigger would still be lined up with the head like it should be to use it easily

[@jonathansherwood5841]

Dang it, Joe! I told him to leave those nuts alone! But he likes to show them off, I suppose. 🤣 Somewhere out there, a Chaka is pleased with the Ryobi torture test. Otherwise, that rotatable head is pretty sweet! It would be a killer deal if Milwaukee offered an upgrade kit to change out the current M12 ratchet heads to swivel heads soon (Hint, hint, TTI).

[@stevenlatham4397]

I’ve got the old non-fuel Milwaukee with the black head, and it just won’t die. It’s been completely submerged in oil, dropped and abused. It’s not a powerhouse, but it’s been faithful.

[@garyradtke3252]

I first bought the long reach higher torque Milwaukee because I thought the reach and the torque would be more advantageous but as it turned out the length was only a plus in a few instances and a negative in too many others. I recently got the short high speed and found it's short length and speed was much more advantageous for my world. I also use the 3 Ah small batteries for better access with the tool. As long as the fastener isn't partially seized it works great once the fastener is broke loose. When tightening the low torque seems to be an advantage because 3/8" bolts are rated around 30 Ft lb anyway but I use it on a lot of 1/4" and plastic parts. It helps keep me out of trouble.

[@bradhaines3142]

sounds like a great decision. guessing you're some sort of electrician?

[@legros731]

That's the normal one with is 70 lbs can easily snap a m6 bolt if you are not carefully ask me how i know

[@disgruntledegghead6923]

As an auto body "tech" I wholly approve of the new Milwaukee ratchet. Shove one of the little CP batteries in it and you can fit it in the nose of a 78 corvette. You can also strip the hell out of the studs too. Or shatter the door glass on a mini cooper.

[@wastelander89]

I've always used ryobi drills and impact drivers and saws ans never had a problem for over 20 Years I stand by ryobi tools because so far they may not be the best but they are cheap and do the job.if I could afford the better tools more often I would get them.but all the ryobis I used worked great on every job. We used to use the dark blue ryobi drills and rachets and impacts b4 they had lithium batteries out lol lithium was such am amazing upgrade

[@bootysmaka22]

I bought a 5-tool set back in 2003, and everything that came in it still works perfectly fine, aside from the crappy old NiCd batteries of course lol. Got the Green impact and drill set with lithium batteries, and a couple sanders in 2010 and all still working great. Picked up the P261 1/2" impact a couple years ago and love it, and just got the new compact impact driver just because lol. Worked a lot with a friend who has a home renovation business and uses all Ryobi stuff as well because he bought them to get his business started and has had no reason to change brands.

I have the ryobi one. They had a “spend $100 save $100” deal in the depot one day when I went in. I needed a battery so I bought two batteries and got the ratchet for free. So I gotta say with the cost of mine it makes the most sense.

[@Bornintheseat]

The snap on performance despite an efficiency robbing 90 deg transmission is pretty good. I hate how price factors on your ranking without quality or durability ranking. Quality tools will always rank poorly. That being said at 630 bucks it better be made in North America, Germany or Japan. Air die grinders are just better still.

[@officialshadetreeamerica]

I have been waiting on you guys to get your hands on that Ryobi ratchet. I tested that ratchet along with the 1/4 drive counterpart last September. I thought it wasn't a bad ratchet. My biggest issues were the floppy paddle trigger mechanism and the fact that it would start smoking after trying to run the ratchet a few times after it would shut off. I never tried to use the ratchet to tighten up fasteners really tight so the one I was using never broke the head either.

[@Fk8td]

Matco did that pop out design many years ago with a specialty socket set as well. Where is the socket was hollow in the middle. That design generally isn’t known for its strength.

[@2mitts]

Have i missed the hyper tough ratchet that everyone's loving?

[@ouch1011]

Imo if you’re trying to use a mostly plastic power ratchet to loosen or tighten anything over 50 ft*lbs (especially a high speed one), you’re kind of asking for it to break. I use mostly M12 tools and I’ve been very impressed with how useful they are for the small size and small batteries. Having the massive battery awkwardly hanging off the tool like most of these do just looks silly compared to the much more compact and useful Milwaukee

[@J.Wick.]

The M12 High Speed in 1/4" paired with the Kobalt 24V in 3/8" makes a great pairing. The M12 has the speed. The Kobalt has the brawn. That Kobalt is a tank....huge too.

[@rolandm9750]

Awesome, was waiting for you to test the new Ryobis! Looks like their high speed is a winner, I was leaning towards the Dewalt but I have a lot more Ryobi batts and stuff so will probably pick up the 1/4-drive model whenever it comes on promo/sale. It's interesting the way its power control behaves though. I wonder if the 200 RPM thing isn't some way for the motor to maintain higher torque, which might explain how it does so well on the "bump" test increasing torque as it does. Either that or it's some artificial speed limit so it wouldn't be better than big brother Milwaukee 😅

[@volvo09]

​@@InsanePacoTaco that's exactly why it was there originally, the originals have 1 extra sub-c sized nicd in there with the terminals on its head. Yeah, and if they just made a modern flat battery that could click into an adapter no one would complain.

For me, form factor is the most important thing when it comes to ratchets. M12 high speed for me

[@OneManTrail]

You just can’t beat the form factor on those Milwaukee batteries.

[@SnappyWasHere]

I’d be interested in a comparison in M12 batteries. My customers are liking the newer 2.5 and 5.0. Also if the 5.0 causes the die grinders to cut out as much as the 6.0 is notorious for. Just a thought.

[@keepingdistance4404]

M12 for the win because of the smallest battery available (1.5a) which allows you to get into small areas. Never intended for high torque areas, but for spinning a nut in restricted areas. Those big batteries don't fit between a water pump and a firewall in an engine compartment.

[@tbelding]

I think people are ragging on the Ryobi a bit too much here. It's, frankly, a electromechanical tool, not a purely mechanical tool. Okay, it broke at 150 lb-ft, but it's not rated for that. It's not even rated for a third of that. Most of the time, a tool surviving 50% more force than the rating is considered nominal for short bursts. Surviving 200% rated force (100% additional) is considered remarkable. This survived over %300 rated force, and people are using it as an excuse to push their own favourite brand. Me? I haven't bought an electric ratchet. I work with tools a bunch, but it hasn't been cost effective. When I do, it'll be based on the rated use point - not using a ratchet where a breaker bar is warranted.

Perfect timing. I went with the M12. My first of the red brand. Didn't want to invest in new 12v yellow batteries even though I have their 20v tools. Thanks for the link! Sorry Ryobi

I had that death crack sound on my AEG(RIDGID) one 'cracking' loose a 13mm nut the first time I used it. Still works fine(as well as it did prior anyway) but yeah, let's just say it's not my 'go to' tool...

Being an electrician who works with pvc conduit, I’d love to see you test heat guns, out put, lifespan, temperature etc.

Aging Wheels also had a similar thing happen with his Ryobi

I bought a brass nozzle and it was junk, but the niagra nozzle at 9.99 is awesome a built like a tank.

Would be interesting to see what's the maximum hand torque for each of these. I mean you don't want switch to a manual ratchet everytime you got a stuck bolt.

5:55 666 RPM the tool of the devil!

M12 still king

[@lincolndickerson1293]

Look forward to torque test fridays!

I do more woodworking than working on cars, I mainly use Makita 18v line, but since 12v I would need all new batteries anyways, I would prob go with the Milwaukee line, they seem to have the best 12v tools
