AIRCATPneumatic Tools 800: Composite Ratchet 320 RPM, 35 ft-lbs Maximum Torque - 1/4-Inch

You can barely here it run

For the cost of repairing other brands about $75 this one lasted me at least 6 years of completely beating on it, for what it is "cost" it's really strong and well well worth it.

This is a handy versatile tool. I have not used it long but it looks to be fairly good quality and handy to get into tight places. I enjoy the quiet operation as well.

After going through 3 generations of cordless tools and all the costs I decided to save wear and tear on the electric ratchet and keep it for interior and go back to air for undercar and under hood,very happy so far,stronger,smaller and faster than my Milwaukee brushless ratchet, no battery bs, consistent power and speed unlike cordless tools.

I like this little badass air ratchet. Needed something small to get in tight places. And this little ratchet did the trick. Just as most Aircat air tools, it's quiet for an airtool. Nice quality and sockets fit perfectly. Compact design makes it great for those tight spots where operating a ratchet is nearly impossible. I have several AirCat air tools and never had one fail yet. You get what you pay for and then some. My opinion is these are as good as Ingersoll Rand airtools without the bigger price tags. The tight design works well. No paddle handle to catch on wiring when maneuvering under the hood or up under the dash. And easier to operate in tight spots then a single round push button air ratchet. Very happy with this tool purchase. If you make a living with tools you'll understand, if you don't turn a wrench to make a living, you won't and you'll end up at Walmart.

Well there is nothing really "MINI" about this ratchet. I'm not really sure why it says mini in the description. I don't remember that from when I bought it, but that was almost 2 years ago. This is a nice air ratchet. It is ery quiet as all Aircat tools are. Plus it is very powerful compared to its competitors similar models. I have actually broken smaller bolts with this ratchet, when I forgot to turn the switch to reverse.So yeah, it may not "sound" powerful, but it is. This will be the quietest power tool in the shop, no doubt. I have a 1/4 mini Blue Point air ratchet that is twice as loud as this. That being said, this ratchet is pretty big. Not big like impact ratchet big, but big enough that it's just more of a pain to get it out and position it to use it, than it is worth. It is nice for running in longer bolts in places where your 3/8 impact won't fit. That's about the only time Ill use it.It's a great tool though, if your preference is to use an air ratchet. My preference is not though. It's super quiet, light weight, and very powerful for its size. I would recommend to anyone who uses an air ratchet regularly.

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 look when I need other air powered tools.

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.

Good quality tool, quiet but it is not that powerful which is expected from a mini version. I am happy to use it for every day job tasks

Have many other Aircat tools so not fairly new to the brand overall. I already own this version of this but 1/4'' one and is an awesome tool to have. Not a lack of power, but also quite. Was looking for the 3/8'' version for a little more power and instead of sticking a 1/4 to 3/8 adapter. The air ratchet isn't long, i like the palm trigger as you do not need to fiddle around with a lever style. The unit is quite quiet as i have others in my shop that are very loud, this one is barley noticeable. Some bolts you will need to break loose but once it's loose then the ratchet has no problem in making quick work. The ratchet is overall a very good ratchet as i have others and the quality is just as good as other brands. I would totally recommend this air ratchet if your considering a 3/8'' because it's great air ratchet. You won't smash your hands with too much torque and no real hearing protection required.

Another amazing product from Aircat, i own multiple Aircat products and this one is no exception.- The body itself is great, its not super long but not very short. You always have to sacrifice something, the longer it is you get more power but can't get into tight areas but the shorter it is means you lose power but can get into those tighter areas. I believe this is best of both worlds if you know what i mean. It is portable meaning you can get into tight areas without having to use a standard ratchet. When using, the exhaust is at the rear and when using it doesn't get cold in your hand like other ratchets do. It is well insulated to keep your hand "warm" when using the tool. The forward and reverse is on the top of the head and it a little small for my liking. If your someone that has fat fingers or big hands (no offense) then this might be hard for you because it's small but if your someone that has tiny fingers or medium sized fingers then this will work. Also it's sometimes difficult to see what position you are in when first picking up the ratchet. Meaning you may be in forward but need it in reverse. It can be sometimes hard to see but does have a arrow pointing the direction.- The trigger; when i first saw this i really didn't understand how it worked meaning i was skeptical of buying it because i thought the trigger might break upon daily use and not being able to hold up as other air ratchets. I was wrong, this trigger on this is very slim when holding it in your hand. It doesn't feel cheap and the mechanism feels good and also your hand doesn't cramp like others do and as other ratchets. You can depress the trigger a little and you can feather the control and this can do that as well even with this type of trigger. It is comfortable to hold in your hand and will not cramp your hand when using for a long period of time unless your using this all day constantly then i guess your hand with start to hurt.- Torque; the torque on this is sub-par meaning that it packs quite a punch. It will struggle if something is rusted or seized but can get the job done. If your looking for something to run a few clamps down and to do some non-high torque applications then this totally worth the purchase but if your looking to do heavy engine work with this. Keep looking!- Noise; WOW! I have a technician beside me and has a 1/4 air ratchet is SO DANG loud. After your finished you can't even hear yourself think with his air ratchet. He keeps saying he too cheap to buy a new one but i don't believe that. I almost want to buy him this because it's so quiet. It doesn't expel a lot of air which is great and the noise is almost unnoticeable. It's not wispier quiet but trust me. Buy it and try it for yourself and you will hear how quiet this is. I can't understand why other brands don't do it like this AND for the price it is amazing compared to other brands that are twice as loud and three or four times the price.Head Rubber Jacket; the air ratchet comes with a rubber jacket for the head of the tool as seen in the photo. The reason i want to mention this is sometimes when using the socket won't mount on to it because the rubber jacket gets in the way. The solution, remove the jacket and cut a slight bigger hole that goes around the head where the socket goes. Just enough to expose the whole bottom of the head.Overall, i am enjoying using this small, quiet, but powerful ratchet. I wouldn't saw its the most powerful but i would totally say it better than others. I think what you are paying for is how quiet it is and hey if you run into a application that this tool won't remove just bust out the 1/2 impact and zip and zap and your done. It's out! I think this is a great buy and would totally recommend, just even might buy another one right after this review for the technician beside me.

I use this little guy every day and I use when I should be using a 3/8. Lots of power and fast vary. I've had snap-on, Mac and ir this by far is the best I've ever own and out lasts all of them. commercial use it last me 2-3years this is my 3rd one and I will continue buying this as long as thay make them... dosen't disappoint

It is as advertised. lived up to expectations and they where high as i have aircat (NITROCAT)impacts which have set the standard for power combined with quiet years ago.
