20V MAX XR Cordless Ratchet, 3/8" and 1/2" Sealed Head Ratchet, Bare Tool Only (DCF510B)

This power ratchet tool exceeded my expectations in both design and performance. It features interchangeable 3/8" and 1/2" anvils, which are extremely easy to swap, adding flexibility for different tasks. The length of the ratchet is ideal for working in tight spaces, such small cars engine compartment. Included in the package is a 1.7Ah Power Stack battery—a first for me—and a 4 AMP output charger, which ensures quick and efficient charging. The forward/reverse switch is intuitively placed for easy access, and the trigger lock is a thoughtful addition to prevent accidental activation during storage or transport. One of the most impressive features is its ability to function as a manual ratchet, allowing me to loosen bolts that the motor alone couldn’t handle. The torque output is more than satisfactory for light to medium duty applications. In practice, I used this tool to remove two eleven-year-old Zero Turn idler pulleys with failed bearings. The first pulley had a self-locking nut, which the ratchet removed effortlessly. The second required manual loosening followed by motorized removal—again, the tool performed flawlessly. It provided excellent clearance and eliminated the need for a breaker bar, saving time and physical effort. Overall, this is a well-engineered, reliable tool that’s perfect for professionals and DIYers alike. Highly recommended for anyone needing a compact, versatile ratchet for everyday mechanical tasks.

Good quality. Works very well working on my vehicles. Not too heavy and very good torque and rotational speed.

I would say this tool saved a lot of effort and time, when I decided to maintain my car. It's full functional and very durable. I have several DEWALT battery, no compatibility issue at all. Very happy to make this investment.

I love this ratchet. I used it quite extensively when changing struts on my wife’s car. This did not have a batter or charger, which I knew going into it. It is plenty powerful to take off brake caliper bolts and ball/tie rod end nuts as well. It will cinch bolts/nuts easily, but you will still need to properly torque bolts down with a torque wrench. It has a 3/8” and 1/2” socket ends to handle a wide wangle of sockets. Because it’s not an impact socket, you can use regular sockets with it. The length is a problem in certain situations, but it’s nothing that extensions or a swivel can’t help overcome. It’s not cheap, so it is a luxury if you can afford it.

Has 3/8" and 1/2" anvils that are supper easy to change out. Length of ratchet is just right for a 42" Zero Turn mower deck. It comes with one 1.7Ah Power Stack battery (a first for me) and a 4 AMP output charger. Location of the forward/reverse switch is great. Trigger lock is good for preventing anything from depressing it when not in use. Power tool can be used as a manual ratchet to loosen a tight bolt that the motor can't loosen on its own. Torque is satisfactory for this light to medium duty tool. Ratchet was used to remove two eleven year old Zero Turn idler pulleys with bad bearings from the deck. First pulley had a self locking nut and this tool loosened it and removed it without any trouble. The second pulley had a bolt that fastens to the deck. I used the tool as a manual ratchet to loosen the bolt and used the motor to drive it on out. Tool provided good clearance and kept me from having to use a breaker bar and manual labor to do the job. Will use this on automotive repairs and assembly tasks that do not require the torque and power of the heavy duty 1/2" cordless impact ratchet. 10-29-2024 Just used this nice ratchet to mount an ECHOGEAR TV wall mount for my mom. Had no trouble driving 2 inch lag bolts into the stud. Its profile got to the lag bolts when my 1/4" impact driver could not get enough clearance to drive them. 12-27-25 Used the ratchet to replace both lawn mower deck spindles. It also was used to tighten the nut above the spindle pulleys.

I bought this for DIY car fixing. I like that you can change the bit sizes between 3/8 and 1/2, but ngl this is a lot weaker than I was expecting. It has rating to go to 75ft/lbs, but that's definitely not real world. For instance, a lot of brakes calipers are held down at around 35-40lbs and even when I tighten it to that and then use this to initiate, it will fail. I think this is probably great for the little bolts that are around, but you still will need an impact hammer that can handle the initiate untorqueing. The build quality thought is fantastic. It just feels like so much better than the offbrand labels. Comparing it to the major brands, it feels very much the same. Overall, I'd recommend buying this if you do a lot of garage work but just remember that you probably still need a better impact or breaker bar.

I used this DeWalt ratchet for a day of automotive work. It was mostly used for loosening and tightening body and chassis fasteners (Torx 40) and smaller and lower-torque levels < 35 Nm. The tool is very precise and handy. Its format is relatively light and can access small spaces easily. Swapping sockets was smooth and changing direction was easy. The battery allowed about 3 hours of use. I was not using this tool alone and was a bit surprised it could not last the day. I had a spare that was also quickly dry.... I will buy a new DeWalt 20V Li battery and re-test. Bottom line: Tool is excellent and battery need to match up.

I love this ratchet and since buying this one I also bought one more for my grandpa because when you work on tractors out in the field it gets tough in tight places but with this i feel like im spoiled and get to work with ease while it does all the tightening and loosening. Absolutely love dewalt products and this was another great one to add to my collection best bang for your buck its well worth it. The grip and feel of this ratchet compared to the m12 and m18 is far more comfortable and durable than you could imagine. Id buy 10 more of these for backups if i could between this and my 3in cutoff saw I can do just about anything without taking it to the shop.
