HART 1/4-Inch Ratchet (Battery not Included)

My husband uses nothing but Hart tools and he's been wanting the battery operated ratchet for awhile

good ratchet goes well with my 3/8 ratchet, 3/8 impact and 1/2 inch impact. makes piddling with cars or small engines easier

I have used many cordless ratchets over the years. Many are cumbersome, awkward, low quality or heavy and not user friendly. But, the HART 20V 1/4" ratchet is light weight, powerful, high quality and easy to handle! It also has a work light to make it easier to see in those dark spaces. I truly enjoy my HART Ratchet, "I Have The Power" in my hands now!

In the past year, I have started using HART products and I have been amazed at how efficient and powerful they have been. When I got this ratchet to add to my tool kit, I had a battery already charged so I plopped it on there to take out to the farm with us that day. My husband had a drive/bit to use because the ratchet did not come with any. Our task was to lower a cattle chute made of railroad ties (old, tough wood). I was basically seeing if I could kill this tool because it is battery operated. We used it all over the job and it performed like a champ! I would normally use a compact for the job but it was a good chance to try the ratchet. I am so excited to have this tool and can't wait to see what else it can do. My husband says he will definitely use it on our vehicles. The slim battery pack design makes it perfect for getting into tight spaces. I can't wait to buy additional HART tools and it is awesome having the battery power on the farm where there is no electricity. Another thing I like about HART products is that they are lightweight and easy to tote - even the lawn tools like the trimmer and blower that I also have. I have considered these as gifts for the men in my family as well. Great product and well made!

This battery powered ratchet tool works great. It does not come with a battery so we had to purchase separately. We recently purchased a basketball hoop and this tool was absolutely perfect for the job. I'm a women and this made it so much easier for me. It's easy to use and I was able to put it together a lot faster this way. I would definitely buy this brand again.

I love this hart 20v ratchet really saves your arm strength! Works great does exactly what it needs too. Easy to use, not to much weigh as I thought it would be with a battery and all! My.only downfall is the not coming with a battery thing is kind of annoying. Does have nice bright little light that comes on when in use!

I just received this in the mail yesterday. The shipping was very quick, but a bit odd. This arrived in its original box, and was just left on my porch. Thankfully, I live in an area where I don't have to worry about theft, but I did find it off putting. I understand not wanting to be wasteful, but it just seems that shipping items in an exposed manner is risky in this day and age. The ratchet itself is quite nice. It's a very solid piece, so you know it's not going to bust on you during the first use. You do have to buy the battery pack for it, but even that isn't a big deal.

While this is a good Ratchet and has some decent torque, its more for a home owner DIYer. The size is huge for a 1/4 ratchet but its unavoidable when it uses the same batteries as the other 20v tools. The color as ive mentioned in other Hart tool reviews was a giant oversight, white is not the color you want to use on a tool thats gonna get dirty. It only looks nice and clean once. Also this thing will not stand up on its own. I want to be able to stand it up on end but due to the battery placement it wont stand up straight which makes it fall over and you can only lay it down on its face. Other than my nit picking it does seem to be and feel like a quality tool. Only reason I wouldn't recommend it to friends is everyone i know run more name brand or higher end power tools. I included a picture of it next to my Snap-on 14.4v electric ratchet for a size comparison. It is rated at 35ftlbs and 350rpm compared to the Harts 30ftlbs and 250rpm. This is comparing apples to oranges since one is roughly 6.5 times the cost but the size to power just isnt there, Id expect it to at least have the same rated power as its competitors for its size. This really woulda done better if it was a 3/8 drive ratchet. But i still do really like this ratchet and use it regularly in less tight spots. It also makes a good at home shop loaner for when friends to use when they come by to work on their cars. It mainly sits in my spare snap on box at home for less crucial work.

The HART 20V 1/4" Ratchet Kit is a lightweight, portable, and practical ratchet tool that's a handy addition to any toolbox, but it lacks significant torque for really tough jobs. It's simple to use with an on/off switch and trigger to activate. A traditional manual turn dial on the topside of the ratchet opposite the anvil changes the direction. There's also a well placed LED light that shines on whatever you're working on. You need to have a 20V HART lithium ion battery pack to go with this, but they work with other HART products so you can get more value out of that investment. Any 1/4 socket should fit this tool so you don't need to buy a new set of sockets. I recommend this product for any light job.

I have had this for a few weeks now and have tried to use it multiple times. It doesn't have the torc needed to work on anything with. I would not recommend these tools to anyone. Would probably work better for smaller jobs but does not function the way I need it too. And what's even worse you have to buy the battery and charger separately.
