Air Tools

Air Ratchet

An air ratchet is a versatile and useful tool that can function as both an air wrench and a manual ratchet wrench.  A big plus about an air ratchet is it's ability to fit in tight places and eliminate the typical requirement of the arc when using a manual ratchet.  Compressed air provides the power to these tools, they can be quite noisy when in use.

Similar to an impact wrench, air ratchets come in varying sizes and torque powers and usually are reversible.  They also come in varying socket sizes to fit 1/4" drive all the way to 1/2"  

 

 

 

Snap-On makes a dual power mode air ratchet (shown right) that features Snap-on's patent-pending Power Boost Muffler Bypass System that maximizes air power performance and allows the ratchet to operate in two different modes. In "Quiet Mode," the unit achieves 5-50 ft. lbs. of torque at 200 rpm and operates with reduced noise levels. In "Open Mode," the FAR7200 bypasses its muffler and produces 5-70 ft. lbs. of torque at 260 rpm for jobs that require maximum power. The tool also features a manual function and provides up to 135 ft. lbs. of torque in this setting.
