11th May 2026
Have you heard about our new DXPulse range? It’s Draper’s brand new 12v cordless power tools series, launched alongside some in-depth research about young people’s attitudes to the trade and what they want from a tool range – and it’s already proving popular.
DXPulse Cordless Ratchet Named Auto Express Best Buy
We designed the DXPulse range to be light, compact and affordable, without compromising on performance. But you don’t just have to take our word for it, our first press review is out! Auto Express tested out cordless ratchets from several of the leading brands and found the Draper DXPulse model to be the Best Buy. While it may be 12-volt power, it has an 80Nm torque figure – which was the highest of all the models tested, so it handled the tests well.

Featuring a brushless motor for a longer life, the DXPulse 12V Brushless Ratchet Wrench Kit (1/2" Sq. Dr.) is designed for optimum efficiency, coming standard with two 2.0Ah batteries so you never have to wait for a recharge mid-job.
