Ratchet Wrenches

Air ratchet wrenches work where bulkier impact guns won't fit — engine bays, behind panels, subframes, tight chassis work. Pneumatic power gives continuous rotation at lower torque, so you can run fasteners down quickly without the hammering. Pick drive size by socket set and fastener range: 1/4" for small assembly work, 3/8" for general automotive and machinery, 1/2" for heavier fixings where space is limited.

Drive size matters most. A 1/4" square drive suits instrument panels, small brackets, and light assembly — torque is low, but so is the head profile. 3/8" covers most automotive and plant work: suspension bolts, gearbox covers, hydraulic fittings. 1/2" drive handles larger fasteners on truck chassis, agricultural equipment, and structural frames, though head size increases accordingly.

Compact and stubby models trade speed for access. A standard-length tool typically runs 150–200 RPM free speed; compact and super-stubby versions drop to around 100–130 RPM but fit into recesses a few centimetres deep. Check head width and overall length against your usual working clearance — pear-head designs angle the drive to reduce knuckle contact with surrounding parts.

Reverse mechanism varies. Flip-lever types let you change direction one-handed without repositioning the tool. Twist collars require two hands but are less prone to accidental engagement when wedged into tight spots. Free speed and torque ratings are nominal — actual performance depends on your compressor's CFM delivery at working pressure. Match air consumption (usually 4–6 CFM at 90 PSI) to your compressor's output, or expect the tool to stall under load.
