I have that exact Hyper Tough ratchet and love it. I don't need it to be high torque or particularly fast. I just need it to run down a handful of nuts & bolts occasionally then I can tighten/torque them later if necessary. It was cheap, and it's convenient not to have to swing a ratchet in tight spaces.

Yeah the Hyper Tough 12v long ratchet is a real gem. I have it and don't plan to buy any of the other 12v tools except maybe the rotary tool or 3/8 drill if i decide I need a second battery for the ratchet as the 3/8 drill kit is only $2 more than buying just a battery.

Once again, one of the most useful channels on da interwebs. My only experience with Hyper Tough has been a pair of rechargeable work lights. They have served me very well for over a year now. One even flew off the top of my SUV doing about 60 mph one night and bounced several times on the asphalt with no apparent damage, so at the very least Pretty Tough. They are slow to recharge, however.

I bought the normal reach ratchet for 40$ 6 months ago. I work part time as a mechanic, and have been genuinely impressed by the performance (for 40$). The form factor of the Milwaukee has always been my favorite. But the hyper tough kit is literally 1/4 the price of the Milwaukee bare brushed tool. Also bought the hyper tough 12v rotory tool ($30 kit) for cutting bolts, flush cutting flooring, and other small projects. Again i am impressed by the price to performance. Both are amazing tools if handled properly for the price. I haven't been gentle with either, but I don't treat them like a 200$ professional grade tool. $40 thats the cost of a decent non electric ratchet!!

Yeah I find it easy to recommend the short $40 as long as people know its just an electric ratchet not some kind of torque wrench or impact wrench (its surprising how many think that way about these kinds tools).

Can't speak to the Walmart variant, but for rotary tools I have tried quite a few. I always use my Dremel now, because a few of the other brands I have purchased failed me. Had more than one give up on me part way through a cut, but the Dremel always finishes the job. I've yet to have to replace my original. Meanwhile a few of the off brand ones I had at my parents / work have already died. I usually take my Dremel with my in my tool bag now. Edit: To clarify I would still recommend the off brand if it was a lot cheaper. But buying a Dremel is only about $40 for a corded variant and I think it's definitely worth a small premium if you need a good rotary tool. Just my take. To each their own.

I really wanted an electric ratchet for a one-time use while assembling a resin shed a couple months ago and couldn't find a deal on a used M12 or find those 4V Ryobis in stock. I totally spaced that these existed. I'd heard good things about the impact driver (not this wrench) and would have happily plunked down a few clams to try one. My store finally started carrying the 12V stuff this month, so I might grab one just to have on hand.

Thanks for doing this video. Definitely answered some questions for me.

I recommended you guys do this last week, and here it is. Awesome! It was a bit of a disappointment, I was really hoping the HT would turn out higher numbers than that.

Thanks for doing this! Knowing this now, I’ll probably pass on the impact (sadly) but would still probably go for the rachets. I just changed the valve body in my Subaru last week and I got to use a buddy’s snap on Rachet and the speed that it brought to just running nuts out and in in the engine bay saved so much time. Obviously this is not as fast but if it saves my forearm effort to hand spin them loose, it’s well worth the price for me in applications like that.

I have the extended reach and it's been great for me. I live in Oregon so no salt on the roads and pretty clean threads, even on older cars, and I find this to be similar in speed and torque to my brushed Milwaukee (and actually a bit better built). Super easy to recommend at the price. Not on par with a top tool especially on messed up threads, but still way faster than doing it by hand.

I got the hypertough 3/8 long short ratchet & 3/8 impact wrench. They both have been great. I drive a nissan murano & they have busted off lug nuts, spark plugs & busted off nuts that i knew it couldn't do, but it did.

I wanted these as a space saving and cheap set to keep in my RV. I purchased the brushless drill, the short ratchet, and the brushless impact driver. Im glad i didnt get the impact wrench after seeing this. I did test them before putting them under the seat of the dinette. They did ok for small mechanical jobs on my truck and building a chicken coop in the back yard. Impact driver had just enough power to drive 3inch long #8 screws. So they are alright for now. I opted for the fast charger as well so the batteries dont take 10 hours to charge. I did not get the bigger battery, though maybe i should get one to give the driver a little more power.

This was awesome as always guys, however, I am going through flashlight withdrawals and I need my fix!!

Finally, a video that doesn't cost me money! No need to run out and buy this as I did with your Dewalt flexvolt circular saw video 😬

I rebuild medium voltage breakers and comtactors . Most of the bolts are only 1/4”-3/8” but in places with almost no room to turn a ratchet. I may give this a try as I like the extended reach. Everything gets torqued when reassembled so as long as it gets snug it will be good enough.

I have a kimo cordless ratchet and its not amazing but i do like it. It definitely saves me a lot of time working on cars on the weekends

Thank you for the videos. As DIY, I really appreciate the tests on the Walmart brands.

I just bought the short hyper tough ratchet because the Milwaukee never sells cheap, ever used. Since I noticed the HT ratchet is EXACTLY the same as the Tool Pro brand from Super Cheap Auto from Australia!

I have a ryobi 18v 1/2 impact from probably 2004. It’s dark green, brushed, and probably compares with that hyper tough 😅 I used it for about a decade until I realized how much more powerful stuff was out there.

As a retired A&P Mechanic who owns a lot of great tools I bought the Hyper Tough 3/8" Dr. long reach for the heck of it & didn't want to spend $250 for the Milwaukee long reach (I own several Milwaukee Fuel tools BTW). I'm glad I did cuz I really like it, it's a great deal and a pretty good tool so far. Batteries are cheap and there's always a 24hr Walmart open close by in case you need a new battery in a pinch also. This one's good for those tight spots after breaking the fasteners loose & when needing a bit more reach with a ratchet in an engine bay etc.. Glad you did this video, I was considering getting the 3/8 impact. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.💯👍

I have a Craftsman Nextec 12v kit that just refuses to die. drill, right angle impact driver, auto hammer, multi-tool, and Dremel-type tool.

Its not really your style, but for the lower end tools especially what different reall world tasks they can do is more important than what they vant do or more expenive tools that do it faster.

I've bought this thing with the fast charger and the 4ah battery. Mine definitely can do lug nuts with the standard battery (I do also have a torque wrench so I know they are torqued) so I'm surprised your model couldn't. I guess that's just the level of quality control you get with cheaper tools. I'm very happy with this purchase saving me some money for my light duty projects around the garage.

Great video as always. I always love an honest head to head test. I do have to disagree on one thing, why would you want them to sell the impact without the battery for the same price and still charge you $25 more for the bigger battery? Isn't it better to get the first battery free? That being said I do believe the batteries are the weakness, I would love to see you testing these using batteries with a known good drain rate. I have been using the hyper tough extended ratchets and I'm pretty happy with it, sure beats cranking my hand on most things and gets into tight places. Except I did break one as you just did, I can definitely confirm you're finding that you do not want to crank really hard on these! But honestly it was good enough for most fasteners you would use this tool on. I was trying to really snug it up to make sure it wouldn't come loose, when I broke it. So far they broke loose anything I was taking off without breaking. It sure took a long time to get you interested in testing these tools! But thanks I do appreciate the great video!

Charge up your old fashioned thinking skills and know obviously that would never happen. To effect the changes he/we all would like to see would cost them nothing ,since its programmed to cut off when it does, that would cost nothing to change, and even if they added weight to the hammer would cost them no where near the cost of the battery. Clearly the low drain rate batteries are a significant limiting factor now. Same reason for years people thought Ryobi tools were trash, when they actually were pretty good tools(Awesome considering the price) with a quality battery. Problem was they didnt make one until TTI took over, and seems hyper tough doesnt either.

Seems the battery is the weak link. On those can you test the battery packs or is there a better battery option that fits ?

Dude i have the shorter kimo, its definitely no Milwaukee but it beats the absolute hell out of being stuck with just a normal ratchet in a place you can't get much swing and dont feel like sticking 3 swivels and 2 wobbly extensions on your impact to get to.

Dont have to worry about ruining bolts as much, and people pay several hundred for Snap-On's version of that same idea. But to compare them what the specs of other equally spec'd tools, which is our usual MO, yeah no

Agreed a Zillion percent there are a lot of KZreadrs that do videos but put a lot of BS about how good Hyper tools are also the reviews are also BS about Hyper Tools ... If you are a DIY persons a Maintenance person or a Small engine Mechanic Hyper Tools are a good buy if you are a Mechanic and bang wrenches all day stick to the Pro Brands

I got an aircat 1076XL running Milton fittings and no regulator. Removed and installed the lugs on my Escalade, for giggles I broke out my new hypertough impact with 4AH battery and it was able to remove all the lugs including the ones I just installed. Removed and all and used torque wrench afterwards of course. Just FYI

Wondered about these tools because I just bought an Milwaukee M12 combo kit, then I saw these at Walmart and they're similar sized to the M12 gear, but almost half the price. After seeing this review, I think the extra money was well spent.

Im curious to see how the "Hyper Tough" impact would perform with a better, Beans version of a battery 🤔?..

Have you thought about testing air drills? Just wondering if they can compare to modern cordless drills I mostly need a really high torque to turn over small engines

I wonder if there's some quality control issue going on, because I've seen three videos now where this thing has broken 150 ft lb+ lugs with the 2ah battery, but yours struggles unless it's 4ah and it seems weaker. Something not adding up.

I would be curious to also see the drill and impact driver. And Skil 12v tools
