Does not run hot when even when in use for extended periods. It's easy to get it right on the first try. Not too heavy, very durable and great parts. That being said, this Ratchet Wrench is pretty powerful. The Chicago Pneumatic CP7824 is well made for the price.

Chicago Pneumatic CP7824 Final Thoughts
"Very quiet."
It has about the right amount of torque. Seems small, but lasts a long time. Works like it should, not a whole lot of power. This helped me avoid over-stripping the bolts. I would definitely recommend this to family and friends.
