I always love it when a foreign brand nobody knows about comes along and offers the same features as the well-known brands, gives you more accessories like a nice hard case and can sell it for a lower price. There's another video testing this Kimo against the famous Milwaukee M12 and there was was no major difference other than speed.

The kimo isn't bad, mine has been great. I can't speak on they're other tools but yes I'd compare this to the first gen milwaukee.

Not all "non name brands" are bad products. Some are actually pretty decent and make good stuff. Name brands started somewhere and they weren't popular when they first appeared. I have had my Kimo ratchet for a few years and other than 1 battery that failed ..it's worked great and still does.

@@itsaboutfam Kimo just came out with a 20V ratchet. It's 3" longer than the 12V and skinnier, but wider at the base due to the battery. They claim it has 75ft pounds of torque. Looks like the Makita.

I’ve owned this ratchet for 4 years with 2 years of use in field daily (field technician) doing repairs. I highly recommend the batteries, charger and ratchet all still works.

Biggest problem with people thinking this is a impact driver and not a rachet, two different types and they need to research before they buy them

I got this because some guy had it on Mercari brand new, ive used ive used it changing my front and rear diff fluid, my transfer case. And multiple rotor and brake jobs. Mine is still working great. I dont try to manually torque it tho, break the bolt then use the ratchet. Its honestly not a bad tool.

Don’t get the hate on these two little Kimo ratchets. I have the regular and extended and love them. It’s not supposed to rip off lug nuts lol any 10 to 13 nuts this thing is great for. Just manually loosen then pull the trigger and your off. Plus you get two batteries and a charger. So I have 4 batteries. I did buy the Milwaukee high speed extended ratchet and it is fast but you still have to break the nut loose

Brand "fans bois" from my observation express the most hate. This tool is a budget tool..it's never meant to compete with the BIG names. It's a budget friendly tool that honestly has been absolutely great since I bought it and continues to be. For my more involved jobs..I use my Ryobi, but for most light to medium duty jobs, this Kimo does very well. Thank you for watching and commenting 😎

Use at work crazy slow and weak but works still. Noticed batteries aren’t actually 2amp hrs from amount of use vs my brushed m12 2amp ratchet and battery.

1 of my 2 batteries has died. It works still and still handy to have. It's now mostly reserved for when I hit the off-road trails or small jobs. Still good value for anyone that needs a good cordless wrench on a budget.
