AIRCAT 805-HT-5 1/2-Inch High Torque Ratchet Wrench - 130 ft-lbs Review

i needed to replace the blades on my flail mower. 64 , 7/16" bolts, fine thread with nylocks. 6 years of rust and dirt. there was no way to get a regular impact in there. i thought for sure that i'd have to torch them. i bought this impact and a can of PB blaster and went to work. i got all of them. very impressed. be careful though, it could break your wrist.

After reading reviews and the product description I must agree.this thing is a beast. I have a cheap o impact wrench from harbor freight and couldn't remove a lug nut (tightened by an overzealous mechanic). I said let me try my new ratchet for the hell of it. Not expecting the power of this ratchet it twisted my wrist back and the lug nut came right off. I was amazed at the power that this has. How does a ratchet have more power than an impact? Even a cheapo should have more power than a…

Way better than SO or other high dollar brands. Be careful, could hurt your arm and pin you in a tight space. Thanks for attention!

I use this professionaly in an Auto repair shop and it works fine. Plenty of power, but it is on the large size. Only gave it four stars because it is obnoxiously loud.

Worked great, just be careful because it has a lot of torque and the trigger is pretty touchy. I was working under my motor home on some 5/8" bolts and it broke them loose without needing a cheater bar. Got my hand smashed a little but it was my fault, don't get yourself between a rock and a hard spot.

It has the power! It is kinda long, but it’s pretty good. It is not an impact. Read and understand CFMs I hate it when people don’t understand CFMs and then think a tool is not good, but it’s their compressor. It will smash your fingers if you limp wrist it.

Nice high torque air ratchet. Will snap your wrist if not careful. The adjustable air exhaust is nice so it's not blowing in your face, warning it is loud but what air ratchet isn't loud.

Advertised as ‘high torque ‘.it is! Great tool - going to have to upgrade the rest of my air tools to match! Got more than my monies worth!

Great tool! It’s about the same noise level as my old one but way stronger. Also, it’s great that you can move the exhaust so it’s never blowing back at you. It it pretty big, but it’s strong!

Great air ratchet for the price. Really good for brake bracket bolts. Really has a great amount of torque, so hold on. Busted my fingers and knuckles good. A bit slower than others available but totally worth it for the power you get and the price.

I have been buying these things for 40 years all brands low end to high end but this is best one ever I bought an aircat 1/2inch impact gun and now that's the only brand I will ever buy .

The most common repair i do is brakes. This fits most caliper pin and bracket bolts. Sometimes I need a 6inch wobble extension. Plenty of torque. Is it loud? Yep. Who cares I'm at work. Don't bring it to a yoga retreat.

Not sure what all the great reviews are about. Yes it works. No it's not any better than the old campbell housefield that was 30 years old. It's heavy, and covered in plastic pieces. Wonder how the plastic will hold up after dropping this on the garage floor a few hundred times.

If you're a man and don't know what this is, you're not a man. This man with many busted knuckles has put this to the test and ripped right threw a head gasket on my Vette. Be prepared for the torque, it'll grab your attention.

This product was ordered and received in a timely manner, with all of the documentation and warranty paperwork. This is my second AirCat wrench, so I had high expectations when I considered buying this one. The wrench was wrapped in a nice cover to protect it. I finally got to use my wrench yesterday on my truck. This wrench is designed for maximum torque, so it's not very fast, but adequate. The torque is OUTSTANDING! I have a 30 gallon tank with 175 psi, and it used up the air pretty fast. It

I use all Aircat tools after trying all the pro models. These are quiet and have as much torque as any other for 1/3 the price.

I have to say this is the first air wrench I have ever owned so I don't have a lot of experience with them. I am very happy with this wrench. it is so much easier that wrenching the hard way, and at my age I have had enough of doing it the hard way. Now I actually look for things to take apart and fix, lol.

This is a worthy tool, and it gets into tight spaces that might not accommodate traditionally styled air guns. It does seem to use more air than my NictroCat 1200, but that's not a problem for my compressor.

It has very impressive torque and the trigger control is very nice I like this better than my snap on air ratchet Not feasible for personal use due to the high cost.

Much better priced than Snap-On or Mac and just as much torque. Really good feel, and Exhaust port is adjustable which is nice.
