Questions & Answers
In my profession as a mechanic, I have used this tool daily for over 5 years and it is still in great shape. When I owned IR and CP, they did not last as long as they should have. It's the tools from Aircat that sell to me. I own six of their tools, and all of them are powerful, quiet, and extremely durable.
There is nothing a little bit more impressive about it than it's basic air ratchet and high torque It's a real treat to have a variable trigger. do use it quite a bit, but I also use an impact wrench or breaker bar to break really tough fasteners when necessary. It is my hope that this will be helpful.
The answer is no. There is a great deal of torque in this vehicle. You may find yourself with a bloody knuckle if you aren't prepared.
The specification says it will hold up to 70 foot pounds and up to 90 pounds. I've run it for years with a 90 pound maximum air compressor and it's still working

An excellent air ratchet that is as good as the version from Tool Truck. The pros include In contrast to some other ratchets constructed of a considerable amount of plastic, this one feels solid in the hand. Price is good (got it for around $80ish) Powerful, easily removes bolts torqued to 50lbs, and the finish is good, and has yet to come off after being cleaned several times with brake cleaner.
You can adjust the rpms by manipulating the trigger control. There was no sound from the Air Ratchet, which was quieter than most others I have The cons are As the "composite" metals are very porous, they can be difficult to clean up oil or grease so a bit of a trade-off is that the tool has a good grip feel due to its pores so it makes for a good trade-off. The off-button. The knuckle- It's a powerful air ratchet that can give you a headache if you are not used to it. * Although it is rated at 200 rpm, it feels way too slow in comparison to Milwaukee ratchets and they are also rated at 200 rpm. This air ratchet is bulky but not significantly bulkier than others. The trigger control is kind of meh, it doesn't seem to be the smoothest. In conclusion, I would recommend this air ratchet if you're searching for one.
For just the timing belt covers, the oil pan, the bell housing, and the flywheel and clutch, there are about 60 bolts! In contrast to how long it took to install the last box by hand, I can now do it in half the time with the AirCat ACR802R ratchet. There would have been no need to check some bolts with a torque wrench, which would have made things even faster. It was also a good thing that it came with a rubber boot, as it certainly would have scratched some aluminum and plastic components.
Restoration of old gas pumps and antiques is difficult because the bolts on the old weathered metal parts are always hard to remove. With my half-inch ratchet and breaker bar, I almost always manage to snap the bolt heads, and then begins the arduous task of drilling out the sheered bolts. My day started with tearing down an old Bennett gas pump from the 1950s. The bolts sat overnight with a squirt of liquid wrench on each before I got to work He is insane. A single bolt head was all I lost and I never gave up on it. I used to spend hours, sometimes days, searching. I can't wait to get my hands on one of their 1/2 inch big air guns. That will be my next purchase. It is also somewhat surprising that the packaging was what you would expect for a tool of that price point.
Taking this with me to the dealership is essential for everyday use. I have had no problems with it for the last six Now, it is barely braking, losing a 15mm bolt at the same time. What happens is when I pull the trigger I hear the motor rotating, but the engine head isn't spinning. There are some cases where I will first need to break the bolt loose by hand, then use this. There will be another present for me. The quality of Amazon's tools and electronics is VERY, VERY poor. I have never ordered clothes from Amazon. Their clothes are absolute dog poo and their electronics are substandard. There is a lack of clarity as to where Amazon gets their products from.
My first impression was that I would have difficulty feathering the trigger, but I found that it has been very easy to do. My full-time career is as a mechanic, and I use this tool pretty much every single day. If Snap is compared to I think this is a great deal for the price. The power output is good and the noise level is good. The only reason why I did not give this product a full 5 star rating was that I'm a bit anal and I would have liked to have seen a little more speed after the bolt/nut was However, the torque rating might be lowered by doing so as well. The overall impression was positive, so I would likely buy it again.
In the beginning, as others pointed out, it requires three. The air flow rate is 5 cfm at 90 psi when it's weak I am running. After 50' of 3/8 hose on the pancake compressor, I was getting less than 60psi at the tool when it was running, even with a pressure regulator set to 150psi (I verified this with a gage on a splitter As a result, the torque was lower than the specified value. On a Ford F150, this tool was used to replace the front axels. We used 6 small 12 mm screws each side with Loctite and rusted metal. It would not break them free (with low pressure), but it did pull them when they could not be turned Despite an operations section being missing, the manual contains a parts diagram and a safety So I managed to figure out how the trigger works by accident. Half the power can be obtained with the hinge at the end. The full power can be obtained by holding the end of the tool in the middle of the tool.
I would not be able to find a better deal on it. Dropping it repeatedly from above, neglecting to oil it daily, tossing it into my tool cart with reckless abandon, and leaving it outdoors all day in a humid climate are some of the things I have done to this tool. A powerhouse, it is very quiet, and it has plenty of power. As much as I miss my Ingersoll Rand air ratchet, I am not really mourning it. Working under a car exposed us to merciless reverberation, which made it quite loud. Even when working at a tenth of its normal speed, this tool is easy on the ears Days with 12 hours of work. A nice feature is that the trigger is touch sensitive, and it can be controlled easily. An easy-to-operate directional change is provided, and it can be turned If I need another one when this one dies, I will happily spend the money for one.
The size of this tool surprised me, I've never used it before. However, I am posting the photo because I have not used it yet. This tool is essentially a total failure based on the picture. *In the second picture, I think the offset is just the rubber sheath, but I do think this is the principle of it.
