Ryobi Lithium 4.0V Cordless 3/8” Ratchet

[@bdogjr7779]

Awesome B《☆》I've never owned an Electric Ratchet. I tended to use 1/4" Air Ratchet most of the time as the 3/8" are Loud af & over Torque fasteners. That light will be nice along with the smaller dimensions. I think my Son would get some use out of that-:)

@@bdogjr7779 same, I always used a 1/4” air ratchet. I kinda liked the sound but I’m sure it’s one of the reasons my hearing is so bad now

Made in Vietnam means China put a manufacturing plant there to export to countries China can't without huge export duties. Soon Vietnam will face the same export duties as more countries refuse to go along with the trade of convenience scam. Roybi quality is quite good. Nice review Bruce 👍

@@SteveRobReviews about ten years ago we bought a nice dining room table and ten chairs. When it was delivered the box was marked “Made in Vietnam”. I was amazed that it could be profitable enough to make it worthwhile to import it all the way from Vietnam to Canada. I’m sure the manufacturer doesn’t make a ton but shipping and all the logistics must add up just to get it to the store

@BruceLyeg China has been doing that for a long time as they sell at a loss to destroy a domestic market and then make themselves the sole supplier. Look at everything we didn't have during covid, all made in China, and now , finally, we're delinking from China, but still, most power tools and electronics are still made in China. The pendulum is swinging the other way in a big way , about time.

I’ve never owned a powered ratchet. Maybe one day… lol cool comparison. Hate to say it, but the red one seems like the best bang.

[@BruceLyeg]

@@joeroyalgarage7995 thanks Joe. The red one is my work horse. I almost cried when I thought I lost it at the junkyard!

[@BruceLyeg]

@@404notfound..... that’s why I don’t live in California!

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

The red one seems like the winner until you consider the batteries. Do you have any other tools using that battery?

[@BruceLyeg]

@@TheGreasyShopRag The red one is a workhorse. Nope, just the ratchet.

[@DIYVariety]

Sure come in handy, made in the orient

[@BruceLyeg]

@@DIYVariety everything is it seems. I was just telling Steve that our dining room table and chairs are also from Vietnam. Crazy

[@DIYVariety]

@@BruceLyeg yeah everything almost, sad

[@EdinboroLake]

The 4.0V battery does not come fully charged. You should fully charge the battery and repeat the test

[@BruceLyeg]

I’d agree with you except you missed this part 2:20

[@marcdaigle1163]

I think your workbench died,.. RIP...

[@BruceLyeg]

It's an inch and a half thick, I just put some filler in the holes and paint it every few years
