I see the $5 off in cart on the website, but once I start the checkout process through Shop I don't see the $5 off being applied. Does anyone know what is the code to be manually input?

For a rachet, 35 or 55 ft lb may not be big deal since it is too small anyway.

So the new extended ratchet is 80lb and 300rpm, and the new standard 3/8" is 70lb, but also 400rpm, so it combines the function of the high torque model and the high speed models from the last gen.

Pretty significant upgrades, but it does totally depend on use case. Whereas I'm mixed case and a decent amount of automotive, I can see a benefit in the high torque; it can actually break some bolts loose.

I got this ratchet as part of their M12 offering during last year's BF. Disappointingly, I doubt I'll use the ratchet much, and that was the reason I got the kit to begin with. There is no torque control other than the motor turning off. I've been used to pneumatic tools that will 'keep trying', and I can assist it until the bolt/nut loosens enough that the pneumatic torque can take over. This, it tries and instantly shuts off - doesn't even feel like it's 35 ft lbs before it cuts off. And the large size of the tool, doesn't make it that easy to swing it to break the bolt/nut loose.

I have this and for me, provided not as much help as I thought it would, mostly due to the limited reach. The extended head version would be much better, but it is much more expensive and yet to see it on sale...

probably would be better off with the Fuel model.

If the space is not too limited, the right angle cordless wrench may be the right tools to break tight bolt, like caliper bracket's bolts, since its torque goes more than 200 ft lbs.

Which tool are you talking about?

I usually use a short 3/8" breaker bar, or for really stubbon stuff, a 2 ft and 3ft 1/2" breaker bar. I'm not expecting this tool to replace those.

Used my ratchet again today and found an interesting issue. Was removing a bolt that went into a speed nut, and it was just rocking the bolt back and forth. There wasn't enough friction in the tool head mechanism, or the bolt I was trying to remove, to keep the drive moving the same direction. None of my pneumatics have that problem.
