Frequently Asked Questions
How does this compare to Harbor Freight air ratchet wrenches?
While Harbor Freight offers budget options, this Ingersoll Rand model provides superior build quality with heat-treated components, more precise throttle control, and a comprehensive warranty. The 360-degree exhaust and optimized gear ratio deliver smoother operation and longer service life in professional environments.
What size air compressor do I need for this pneumatic ratchet?
You'll need a compressor capable of 4 CFM at 90 PSI for optimal performance. Most 20-gallon or larger shop compressors provide sufficient air flow, though smaller units may work for intermittent use with adequate recovery time.
Can this air ratchet wrench handle automotive lug nuts?
While this tool can remove most automotive fasteners, lug nuts typically require 80-100 ft-lbs of torque. This ratchet's 54 ft-lb maximum works best for engine bay components, brackets, and smaller fasteners rather than wheel removal.
What maintenance does this pneumatic ratchet tool require?
Add a few drops of pneumatic tool oil daily before use, keep air supply clean and dry with proper filtration, and periodically check exhaust ports for debris. The heat-treated construction minimizes wear, but regular lubrication ensures smooth operation and extends tool life.
