This M12 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless 3/8 in. Ratchet Kit is on sale at Home Depot for $119.00. Seems like a good deal. Does it work well in tight areas? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwauke...7-21/202957709

Yes. It's actually amazing what it can do.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

I have a DeWalt cordless impact, so I just want to zip out bolts and willing to break them free first if I have to. Same screwing them in and finish with a torque wrench. Thought 119.00 was a good deal. Thanks

Oh yeah, that's a sweet unit. I have a number of the M12 tools, including the 3/8" ratchet and the 3/8" impact wrench. No complaints. That ratchet will do everything you would expect it to and more. You may have to make the first turn on heavier torqued bolts. Not quite as strong as an air ratchet, but close enough. I have air ratchet as well as I/R 1/2" impact wrench that rarely see use anymore.

One of my favorite tools is an M12 Fuel Impact, very small and amazingly strong. I would have no hesitation buying an M12 ratchet.
