[DeTomaso] Recommendations for Cordless (i.e., rechargeable) Ratchets?

[Jim Hendrickson]

I have been using a Ryobi 18V cordless drill to run lug nuts on and off for
about five years now. I have to break them loose and tighten them with my
torque wrench because it only has about 45 ft. lb. torque. I am on the
second pair of batteries now and will probably need to buy the third pair
next season.

It was initially purchased to run the rear jacks up and down on the wife's
RV. It quickly became my nut runner for changing tires at autocrosses.

I did change tires one time on the Escort with an air impact. I did not like
the way it hammered the corners of the nuts over and went to a small flex
head ratchet until I bought the drill.

Ratchets?

I've seen several cordless ratchets made by Ingersoll Rand, ZNEX (who are
they), and others.  Does anyone have a recommendation?  Does anyone have the
much less expensive skill ratchet?
 
I'm in the process of mounting and removing parts to mock up things, and it
would be a lot easier to use an electric ratchet and a pneumatic.
 
Thanks,
 
Ken
