Husky 12v Ratchet Kit

Over on the Home Depot website I saw one of their pre black Friday specials on a Husky 12v ratchet kit. I don’t know about you but that’s the first I’ve seen of a Husky battery powered tool. This unit looks to be aimed at homeowners and people who want to do their own car repair.

My thoughts: This is very affordable at $99 with a 34 piece socket set and a charger which makes this ideal for people on a budget. With only 30 ft lbs of tightening torque, this is definitely not up to pro standards, but is good for smaller projects. While the 30 ft lbs isn’t much, users can apply up to 150 ft lbs of torque to break fasteners loose and then spin them off with the ratchet. One negative is this does not appear to have a removable battery, which means when it’s dead, you gotta stop and wait for it to charge. It also eliminates the use of the 12v battery on future Husky 12v tools, if they make other tools. Overall for $99 this looks to be a decent little unit.
