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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

nice and powerful, however a little on the large side

This is my second aircat tool.First one was one of their impact wrenches, i was very impressed with the value and the power of the tool.When my trusty kolbalt air ratchet kicked the bucket, i decided it was time to upgrade.I was not dissapointed!Lots of power, it does help to keep two hands on the tool!I found i need to be very careful when tightening, it's very easy to over power things.I do wish it had an easy way to adjust the torque like my old kolbalt could.Another thing i did not like much, the direction switch takes some getting useto.While solid and easy to use, however the forward and reverse arrows seem misleading with a quick glance.The tool is also very long and thick, not the best for tight areas, this will likely result in my purchasing a smaller/compact unit.Overall a nice tool, and the extra power is very handy.I will also notr that i have a quincy 2 stage 60 gallon compressor, with air lines setup for painting (very dry), and for airflow.I'm also using "v style" high flow air fittings.

Pros
  • a lot of power be ready to hang on
Cons
  • You need an air compressor, which is additional and expensive equipment
