Summary: 4 Stars
Unbelievable power!!! Handy tool. Now I just have to steal it back from my wife.Customer Review: Junk
Summary: 1 Stars
This item is a piece of junk. It will only last about 6 month. This is the last Skil tool I will ever Review: Love this thing.Summary: 5 Stars I just got this a few weeks ago for Christmas and already used it a few times. Was thrilled with the offset capabilities of the tool. It may be called a wrench (and it's main job is) but with the adapter and bits that come with the set I have used it for offset and tight driving problems also (phillips, torx, hex, etc.) A pleasure to have in my tool collection.
Customer Review: Major Problems with design
Summary: 1 Stars
I have purchased 2 of these. I love the concept and functionality, but after having the second one quit on me shortly after purchasing it. I disassembled both ratchets only to find the same issue. The magnets in the motors ended up in little pieces. I did not drop them to cause this or abuse them in any way. So, I went to Skil website to get parts and everything for this ratchet has been discontinued. Skil really dropped the ball on this one, I would rather pay a bit more and have a quality tool. I have a lot of Skil tools but in the future I probably will not purchase any more from them or their Bosch counterpart only because of the way they have dealt with this ratchet. A good company would have recalled them or at least replaced their defective motors.Customer Review: Master of tight spaces
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the Power Wrench after seeing it in a "What's New" section of a magazine. It has grown to be my favorite tool in my tool box.
Before this tool, when I had to tighten screws in tight spaces I've used little stubby screw drivers. But with the Phillips head attachment, I find the Power Wrench works every where the stubby screw drivers were. Not only does it work, it works better. It takes less time and has less hand fatigue.
I started out using it is a pretty specialized application, but now I use it to drive everything from screws, nuts and hex screws (putting together Ikea furniture was never easier).
It has two modes. The Power Wrench mode, where you pull the trigger and it engages the motor. It works by ratcheting a small metal piece in the head back and forth. It is fairly noisy but it provides more power than you would expect a 7.2V tool to provide. It can also be used as a manual wrench. I really like that when the battery is too low to drive something, you still can use it.
The Power Wrench bundle is just a starter if you are going to use it often. Any 1/4" socket or tool will fit onto the end of it. I've bought little wrench and socket sets (both metric and standard) to extend the functionality along with a 1/4" to 3/8" adapter. Paired with my larger socket set, sometimes I break lose nuts and the use the Power Wrench with the 3/8" adapter where I would normally be removing it with my fingers.
I've given several of these as gifts and recommend them to everyone.
