A look inside a very common cordless ratchet as used in garages around the world.
Many of these unbranded tools are actually fairly well engineered due to their high volume of manufacture. This one has no fancy branding or features, but works fine. I'd guess it's probably used by many professional maintenance engineers in China as well as many home mechanics.
I've not used this tool in anger yet, so if you have experience of using one then leave a comment down below.

I must stress that ALL cordless ratchets are not intended for use with extreme force on seized nuts and bolts. They are more for whizzing them in and out, but can handle modest pressure on non-seized hardware. The weakest part on all these units is probably the pin that oscillates the ratchet mechanism.

I mentioned Tekamo HD, so here's a link to a video of Cam giving a genuine heavy user review of various tools:-

The design of the tool and it's charger are very simple and functional. Just how tools should be.
The protection built into the battery pack makes it useful for other projects too.

I specifically avoid using intrusive mid-run video adverts, which means I don't earn as much from my content as other YouTubers.

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
