Just got one 2 weeks ago. Used it to change the rear brakes on my car with no issues. Its a GREAT ratchet and the smaller head is a HUGE plus getting into those tight areas
LOL I was thinking the same thing!! I hardly ever use my air ratchets anymore. I just did a diff fluid change on stands and realize why. The hose gets in the way and it's a pain for home garage. This cordless technology is the hot ticket. Thank you for the review Sir.
BTW your SRT is a very nice looking ride. I wish you the best of luck on your channel!!
I totally agree ! I got the same kit and it does the job for light stuff. I love it on my motorcycle. For the price, you get a great tool. Warning, this is not a very heavy duty wrench. It would work with a nice 3/8 socket set.
Excellent review, I just bought one because you convinced me that this is a good buy thank you.
I have the same one, i love it. Bought it for 55 bucks from a return pallet. Never used, 2 batteries and case. Batteries last a long time and holds up to breaking fasteners and takes them out quick.
In the future if you review a tool... Actually USE the tool or you didn't actually review the tool
I will remember that on my next review. I'll having a video out shortly where you can see me use it to remove the 6 bolts under my front bumper. I don't have alot of space because the car is lowered so this tool came in really handy.
@@thewrenchinglounge No offense, but your review was completely useless. We can all read reviews on our own. You need to actually show the tool in action.
Yeah!
Use the darn tool!!!!!
Was waiting it being put to use which is what a review is about!!
I agree, I've used it a lot and loveeeee ot
I've been seriously considering getting this one. After using another brand I fell in love with the convenience of them. I haven't used my pneumatic ratchet 10 times in the 20 yrs I've owned it. I think the only time they'd be beneficial is on a assembly line doing the same thing for hours on end & the hose would have to come down from the ceiling.
Very good review for this one, I have it in my Amazon list. Yes that's the right to say it. Thank you 👍🏾☺️
1st I've seen ur video. I too, got mine like u did around the same time. I hadnt used mine bc I have to work in my driveway. Quite satisfied w/mine. I worked under my car & ALOT quicker than racheting by hand. When I was done, I chged my battery back up for next job. Was good enough for me!😁
Thanks for the review, definitely getting this tool over the Milwaukee over priced tool
The Milwaukee is hardly overpriced. I got mine for only $100 on eBay.
This is a speed ratchet, for valve covers, trans pan ect. If you're removing head bolts or rusty bolts, i break them loose with a ratchet then zip everything off with this. I dont expect it to hold up doing caliper bolts or anything but saves time if you have this ready to go with your ratchet. I really enjoy it.
Holy crap what a discovery. Thanks for the vid
I enjoyed the review and this is one of the 3/8" ratchets I looked at but I felt more comfortable with the AC Delco branded ARW1208. Only one battery and I don't believe it comes with sockets but I think it's a step above this unit. It was 99.00 with the 10% off currently being offered. Time will tell I guess but I have a project to test it on before the return windows on Amazon runs out.
Thanks for your review will consider this brand and I didn't consider variable speed thank you
That’s sweet I use the Husky from Home Crepo and it’s about 36ftlbs and variable speed paddle trigger! It’s a 12volt lithium Ion internal battery! I’ve had it over 6 months and I use it almost everyday cause I have a suit repair shop st my house that I am in most of the winter and I’ve had to charge it 2 times! Swear to jebbes I’m blown away from it and it was only 60$ l! Oh comes with cash a car charger and a wall socket charger and trigger lock! I did my research too and no matter what your gonna need to break most nuts or bolts free or tighten and you can use the Husky like a normal ratchet too so this is by far the best I could find but I think I’m gonna grab the kimo for another to have cause 2 is better that 1! Thanks for the video!
Chris Collison , I bought the same one from Home Depot about three months ago on sale for $46 and love it.
Never hurts to have a backup, two is one, one is none. I'm going to pick one of these Kimo packs up as well. I'll just keep a trusty old ratchet handy as a backup.
Did you pick up a kimo to compare to the husky, that's my contemplation, 20 miles to HD have it now, or something online... Would you buy the husky again. Thanks in advance!
Just bought this great tool great review. Would love to see more reviews.
You convinced me I think I will get this one thanks good vid
More videos please I own a 300c LE Hemi here in OZ and I too have damaged the nose cone on kerbing , hanging out for your video on that as there aren't any on actually taking the nose cone off and repairing it
I got an acdelco brushed tech works great just bought the kobalt one it runs at slower speed but still nice and brushless
The head may be smaller than the air ratchet, however, the air ratchet is smaller the length of the tool. The Kimo gets really thick just after the head which will stop it from going very far down into engine bay.
Is there a way to lube it? I always put pneumatic oil into my air Rachet before use.
In regards to weight, you should factor in the weight of the hose attached. Would you buy another one?
Thank you so much for this video
Seems like a good buy for the money! I'm anxious to get my Makita. 800 rpm is fast!
I just received my 2nd Milwaukee M12 non-Fuel ratchet. $65 for ''open box'', tool only on Ebay. Shipping included. Took my 1st one into work and bought the 2nd for home. I have several other M12 tools, chargers and many batteries at home & work. Don't need case or other stuff. That one does look a lot like the Milwaukee. Probably made at the same factory in China.
I bought one like at the beginning of the year and I’ve used it heavily as a regular ratchet and etc and it’s been non but fantastic for the price and the two battery’s and the sockets it’s amazing couldn’t ask for more
Would you purchase again, compared to a Husky or other cheaper box store deals?
You all prolly dont give a shit but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid lost the account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Kenneth Deandre instablaster ;)
@Konnor Ari thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Konnor Ari it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account :D
That looks identical to the Milwaukee m12 non fuel version. I’d Like to see the 2 compared side to side. I picked up my milwaukee for less than $100 as well. Matter of fact got it free by buying a 2 battery kit.
Can u plz tell me the complete package weight ?
Hey how is it holding up? I’m looking to buy but mixed feelings?
I like the 300 you should do a review on it too like exhaust
I was hoping a follow up video here the tool is used
How is this compared to s long? Is this better?
Where did you find the $15 off coupon ?
Great review .
How much are replacement batteries?
thank you l was looking at kimo on Amazon
You can save a few bucks getting the Anesty one on amazon. It is identical to the kimo just red and black.
Yep, it looks identical. The price of the Kimo ratchet is creeping higher and higher. That one seems like a good match at a cheaper price.
I like your big WEED scale. 🌲🍀💯
Thanks for the video
I bought ryoubi after blowing my head searching on Amazon, ebay ive seen its better than Milwaukee m12 but has bigger battery and rotating head, I love it and it's from the same manufacturer anyway Ive seen UA-cam and one big mouth talking about it and one using it anyway Its for me now much more better than Milwaukee
Great video.
With new lithium batteries. ALWAYS always always fully charge them before using them at all. A lot of the time they are shipped with just enough charge to survive shipping and storage and using them in that state can damage them and shorten their life.
Please do a one year on review. How did it hold up to a year's use?
mine lasted a week then couldn't run 1/4-20 nylock nut onto a bolt-sent it back to amazon and got HFT earthquake
But let me tell you good review and info. Like the channel just want to see the took in action.
Agree with the others. Use the tool and slap it around a little
I'll remember that for next time.
That SRT8 sounds mean!!!
Looks to big to maneuver inside engine, also what about an extension.
Yeah I'm kinda bum out you didnt show a example
I have 2 of these the one I use at work I abuse the shit out of it loosening and tightening smaller bolts and nuts I have one at home the other day I run a nut on and went to snug not tighten even just snug and the ratchet mechanism snapped
Are you going to try and warranty it? Let me know how they handle it if you do.
@@thewrenchinglounge I don't think so I think I'm just going to upgrade to the Milwaukee I know it will handle what I throw at it .
Update my work one also broke. I am going with Makita. it will be here tomorrow .
Is it better than the AC Delco?
Unfortunately, I don't own an AC Delco to be able to compare them. Comparing them on Amazon the AC Delco is about $25 more if it comes with 2 batteries.
An hour and a half to charge the battery? Milwaukee charges in 15 minutes.
Its great till the ratcheting mechanism breaks. And it definitely will. Look how small the head is!
Did you actually use it?
My main reason for getting it was to speed up removing the 6 bolts under my front bumper. Because the car is lowered I can barely get a ratchet in there. This makes removing the bolts so much easier.
I'll be reviewing a rivnut tool I purchased for some fab work and I'll be sure to show how I use it. Thanks
I got acdelco with case, charger and 2 batteries for $140 ..$57 down $47 month for 3 months,Amazon delivers the item as soon as you make the first payment when you place the order cant beat it..
Just bought one for 79.99
I know this is several years old… but if you’re readying this in 2023 don’t overlook the hyper tough cordless ratchets from Walmart. I kid you not… Walmart. They are fantastic tools for the money.
I think as long has people realize this is fastener wrench not a impact wench they will work fine.
A torque wrench? Who the hell thinks that a cordless electric ratchet is a torque wrench? Like a calibrated torque measuring and applying device.
Got a sub from me JUST CAUSE....you have a srt8 lmao not gonna lie love my mopar have a magnum rt myself...and good review on the tool man. Keep it up
Thanks for the sub. I'll be diving into the car alot more. Lots of tutorials on fixing the annoying little things, tons of upgrades planned as well as heading to the track.
USE the darn tool!!!!!
most of us as get older the noise of compressor running all time
Use the tool on video!
Bought in April junk in September.
Really?
I bought this tool from Amazon and it was defective. Did not bother with another one
It’s not a Dewalt or Ridgid , but I like my Kimo. I’m a DIY guy.
Where’s the coupon?
Right ? Lol its 89.99 right now
Well, At the time I bought it there was a box to check on the Amazon listing for a coupon.
most of the Amazon reviews had uploaded videos which make me suspicious that they are paid planted reviews.
How is a hour and a half a fast charger? That’s dang slow.
From the sound of it and the size of a head, Seems pretty crap tacular
This brand is unproven and I also don't like the sound. If it exists I'm looking for one that has both the battery as well as an included power adapter as a second power source.
What a tool, and the Kimo too.
@@paedahe4975 what do you expect from someone who wears a yt channel shirt and drives that car, has the cap reversed on his head :-)
Next time he should use the fk tool he reviews waste of time this video
I saw he was a Chrysler guy and i was like naahh....🤦♂️
This seems more like an ad than a review.
You're also not supposed to use these like a hand ratchet. I'm pretty sure the directions tell you that.
I'm sure the ratchets in question are OK for general us, but I wouldn't jeopardize my livelihood on going too cheap with tools. Furthermore, Kiko brand as well as similar off-brands (i. e. Harbor Freight's Hercules) are just knock offs of Milwaukee's old 12 volt brushed ratchets.
I'm a dealership technician and used one of those cheap electric ratchets daily. I've had it for like 8 months and it's still kicking. Definitely not more powerful than a snap on but if you're trying to speed up the removal of fasteners is worth the money.
should say "unboxing" of tool
Milwaukee copy I try some Chinese the battery they are not very good now a have Milwaukee and it great tool
It's pronounced imo, the k is silent.
Looks skin same like sealey and just color different
Or buy the Milwaukee M12 version which actually has a battery platform with a shit ton of extra useful automotive and carpentry tools lol.
Tell by looking at his hands that he's not used many tools.
All talk no test. Yeah il watch another channel for a review. Idc about talk and paper. I want proof
You didn’t really need to talk about the batteries lol. Usually all Powertools use lithium batteries. All we care about is torque , RPM, durability and battery life.
I'll keep that in mind next time. My next tool review I do doesn't require batteries.
It's pronounced KIMO
dude, you sound like a gal doing an new box reveal of her heels. why dont you try using it
knock off Milwaukee
Are you sure..I dont think so
not even close
I hate these tool manufacturers who feel it's a good deal to include a few sockets with the tool. I have hundreds of sockets in different sizes, lengths, sae-MM, across several tool chest. I don't need your ten extra sockets
What a fing stupid comment. What about the beginner that has zero sockets? Sounds like a good deal then. If u don’t need extra sockets give them to some one who does. Sometimes using your brain can do great things. Ya know??
Its pronounced kiiiiiiimooo not kemo
3:30 looking at your hands doesn't look like you are a mechanic ,your hands looks like if you have a restaurant.
I closed my race shop many years ago. I'm now a Biomedical Engineer Tech by day and a weekend racer. I keep my vehicles pretty clean and I wear alot of gloves when I'm working on them.
Really!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why are the comments mostly about your hands? Just watch the video,learn something and move along.
This is NOT a review. It's an unboxing. How do you "review" a tool you haven't used yet? C'mon man! Looks like a Milwaukee clone.
In Japanese, "kimo" means 🤢 gross.
No review at all
Test torque them! Absolutely worthless review!
