    very powerful - be careful

    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.

    Pros
    • Price reasonable and good quality and noise less than other brands.
    Cons
    • Expensive compared to other ratchet wrenches in the market

    Knuckle buster! - my new review

    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…

    Pros
    • Very good
    Cons
    • Can't reach bolts in hard-to-reach areas

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    Yeah, this is an Air Ratchet!

    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!

    Pros
    • ‎1/2-Inch
    Cons
    • The grip can be bulky and uncomfortable to hold for long periods

    Revainrating 4 out of 5

    As advertized, if you can forgive the volume.

    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.

    Pros
    • Be careful. It has serious torque. Hold it firmly and watch your wrist.
    Cons
    • Not suitable for delicate jobs as it can easily damage the workpiece

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    Great ratchet, I would highly recommend.

    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.

    Pros
    • I got it for 1 specific job, and it's getting the job done. Lock tight back seats on the Dodge Trucks.
    Cons
    • Dust and debris can easily clog the air filter, causing performance issues

    Pretty Good Tool good for me

    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.

    Pros
    • Found to be a good tool
    Cons
    • Vibration and noise can cause distracting and painful sensations

    Has great torque, loud but what air ratchet isn't loud

    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.

    Pros
    • ‎Air
    Cons
    • The torque setting might be too high or too low for some applications

    Super tool! good for me

    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!

    Pros
    • Super torque, strong just as advertised.
    Cons
    • The exhaust port blows air around, affecting the operator's breathing and visibility

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    AirCat has made me a fan.

    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!

    Pros
    • Worked great.... made things much easier and faster
    Cons
    • Frustrating to use in low-light or hard to see areas

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    Great power, great price!

    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.

    Pros
    • Have been abusing it and it still works great!It has got some power, so hold on!
    Cons
    • The anodized finish can wear off with exposure to certain chemicals

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    wow! the speed adjusts as you squze the tiiger

    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 .

    Pros
    • It’s lasted very well and is still very strong.
    Cons
    • Requires additional maintenance and attention, adding more work

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    Lots of torque: my feedback

    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.

    Pros
    • ‎12.25 x 2.6 x 3 inches
    Cons
    • Limited visibility on the ratchet head can result in over-torqueing

    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.

    Pros
    • Ratchet: Ergonomic handle for the user's ultimate comfort
    Cons
    • Air compressor required for use might not be readily available in all situations

    Toys for men - my new review

    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.

    Pros
    • Great half inch drive ratchet a lot more torque than any snap on Mac or Matco tools
    Cons
    • Not ideal for working on small, delicate items

    The wrench was wrapped in a nice cover to protect it

    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

    Pros
    • High torque. Not for the inpatient. Will brake bolts. Slim and powerful.
    Cons
    • Can't be used for precision work as the torque is too high

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    A great ratchet that works as good as any of the pro brands.

    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.

    Pros
    • Does the job. All of my home air tools are Aircat.
    Cons
    • Not designed for extended use, leading to overheating and lower productivity

    I love this thing - my new review

    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.

    Pros
    • Used the Aircat 805-HT when replacing the waterpump on my Ram pickup. Worked great with lots of torque.
    Cons
    • You need to buy adapters for different-sized sockets, which can be expensive

    Revainrating 4 out of 5

    It delivers as promised.

    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.

    Pros
    • ‎Contact manufacturer
    Cons
    • Drain and cleaning of the air compressor can be time-consuming

    Impressive torque best in my review

    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.

    Pros
    • ‎Bottom
    Cons
    • Not feasible for personal use due to the high cost

    Excellent Ratchet for my opinion

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

    Pros
    • High Torque Air Ratchet: 130 ft-lb maximum torque; 180 RPM
    Cons
    • The high torque setting can cause the socket to pop off and become a hazard
