High Performance Composite Ratchet: AIRCAT 800 With 1/4-Inch Drive, 320 RPM, And Up To 35 Ft-Lbs Maximum Torque Review

I chose this air ratchet because it was said to be quieter running and easy on the ears.The handle is not as easy to squeeze with one or two fingers as you have to in tight areas, but I will get over it because does not sound as loud. it also has plenty of torque for a 1/4" air ratchet.

it is nice quiet operation good power, great price/ like the rubber coating. going too buy the 3/8 ratchet next That's my review!

Best bang for your buck forget matco, Cornwell, or snap on if your having to rebuild it every other month go to this you won’t regret it

I use this almost everyday for the last 3 months and lately I have noticed the ratchet head stalls and doesn't turn intermittently under high torque. The motor still will but it no longer ratchets. My 3/8 aircat has yet to do this. Very quiet and strong for its size.

Great tools I have several .till one breaks I have been a tech for over 30 years and when I sent my tool in for repair it has been over 8 weeks seems it is still sitting there waiting to be shipped back with several e mails just going un answered from one dept. Like I said great tools .but if breaks throw .it away and move on not worth the shipping cost !

This is a grt tool ! I like the trigger function much less chance of false air starts by accidentally bumming the old lever style airwrenches. AND I really like the in handle muffler makes tool much more quiet.

I work on aircrafts and I honestly can say these aircat tools are a gem. Lots of power, decent speed and very quiet. Out performed many snap on, ingersoll rand, harbor cheapo tools and many more. A little bulkier but for the performance, you won't complain.

I have been using this for about a month, 5 days a week everyday. It has been a great tool. My snap-on one is being repaired and this one has easily fit right in. Zero problems with it so far. I do oil it everyday. It has worked as well as the snapon that lasted 2 years. Time will tell. I will keep using this one until it fails and report back.

It's a great value for the money, and a work horse. I would recommend, I purchased 2 of them for my shop. The ratchet may not be suitable for applications that require precision or delicate handling!

This is the ratchet that should be sold on all the tool trucks instead of their over priced examples. Very quiet, appropriate torque for its size, with a nice low profile trigger. I think the mini refers to the ratchet head size; great for tight places, but you wouldn't want to have to really put a lot of torque on it. I'm very happy with this air ratchet.

I am a professional mechanic for 17 years now. I go through a lot of tools, especially air tools. Aircat products are really squared away. They are light, quiet, and affordable. I would recommend them to anybody.

Love this AirCat 1/4" drive air ratchet. Its small, fits into tight spaces and offers all the power needed for those smaller nuts and bolts in any automotive application. I attached a 24" lead hose to it with a built in swivel to keep it short. I bought this to do work on a F250 Diesel and needed a small ratchet to save time and knuckles.Its not loud at all, offers plenty of power and spins at a good rate, not too slow or fast. Extensions stay on tight, the trigger is well positioned…

I'm an aircraft mechanic and I wanted a QUIET ratchet that wasn't too big and had decent power. I work in confined spaces a lot and air ratchets can get super loud, especially when they're near your ears. This one is great, I don't even need ear plugs with it. It has enough power for what I need and it's a decent size. I used it for about 4 months without problems until it got stolen(someone really liked it?). I would get one again but now I work for a company that provides all the tools.

I work for an airline as an engine shop mechanic so I use this air ratchet in a harsher environment than normal (Lots of high running torques). I like the torque and it is more quiet than other ratchets. After about 6 months it was broken. I am sure this would be a good buy for someone using it for home. For the price its not bad.

I wanted to use this in tight places but it won’t fit short wide sockets. It only fits the skinny long sockets. To be honest I doubt 35ft lbs of torque would break many bolts loose anyway. Save your self and get one with way more power and a bigger size so it fits all sockets. Nice quality though.

This ratchet does exactly what I needed -- get nuts & bolts on & off in those areas where handle swing makes use of a manual ratchet difficult to impossible. It does not have impact wrench torque, but that is not what I needed it for. It has plenty of torque for the nut & bolt spinning. I can break it loose or snug it with a manual ratchet. And I've already dropped it a couple of times on the concrete floor, and it still works fine. Yes -- I'd buy it again, and will give other Air Cat tools a…

I like this ratchet, no noise, cannot work without it now, if there is similar that has less torque, I ll buy too. Thanks for attention!

I've used it on a couple of jobs, and it works great!Its not too fast, so it is very controllable. It fits in tight hard to reach areas well. I use it for just about everything from 15mm on down, and follow up with a torque wrench.It measures 8 1/4" long (10" with an air fitting installed), and 1 1/2" wide at the widest part of the body (2" wide at the hand switch).

A great value for this air rachet. Been a professional Master Auto Technician for over 35 years, used Snap-on rachets for decades and took a chance with this rachet as it got good reviews. I was not disappointed, it works great, plenty of power and torque, comparable with tool truck brand tools at a 1/3 of the cost. I've been using AirCat for for a few years and love them.

This little quarter drive air ratchet was just what I needed. I work with a lot of smaller bolts and daily give my 1/4 sockets a work out. This air ratchet is a life saver, or a wrist saver I should say. It's not an impact gun, so if you have anything super tight, break it loose first , after that, the 380 rpm speed will certainly speed up whatever task your working on. This thing is quiet and comfortable to use and compared to Snap on or Mack its an easy buy with a great warranty,
