Cordless 3/8 Ratchet

I was cruising YouTube today and happened across this Project Farm video:

He compares four 3/8 cordless ratchets: Makita, Milwaukee, Earthquake, and ProStormer (unfortunately, DeWalt doesn't make one). The budget one (ProStormer) actually surprised me. I hopped on Amazon, and there are dozens of budget brands... so, I'm curious. Have any of you used any of the budget brands, and what's your experience? My thinking is that there aren't too many places I could get with one that would make it worth buying, but I'd like to hear from anyone who owns one.

I do use my 1/4 inch impact driver to make quick work of fasteners that are accessible and my 1/2 inch impact wrench (both DeWalt) to convince any stubborn fasteners to cooperate. I'm just not sure a cordless impact would add much to my toolbox.
