Whether you are a mechanic, engineer or serious DIY enthusiast, air ratchet wrenches are an essential piece of equipment when installing and removing nuts and bolts. Not only do they speed up productivity, they will reduce the time necessary to complete the task in hand, thereby saving time and money.

Air ratchet wrenches are ideal for use in small confined spaces such as engine bays on cars, commercial vehicles, motor cycles and outboards as they have trigger operated power control and require less space than a conventional hand held ratchet.

There are many types of air ratchet wrenches. They are available in different drive sizes: 1/2, 3/8 and 1/4 inch, various lengths and differing torques. Many air ratchets are reversible which can be an important feature when removing and installing nuts and bolts, and providing more versatility.
Some air ratchet wrenches come with contoured handles to insulate the user from chill and vibration, textured grip for added control and rear exhaust with baffle to reduce noise and oil spray. A flexible head model comes in either half inch or three eighth inch square drive (Sealey SA609 & SA610). These allow 30 degree angle adjustment in both directions allowing the operator even more flexibility. These models come with a ratchet yoke designed and manufactured to provide additional strength and prolonging the working life. They are also reversible for use in either direction with trigger operated power control.

Take care when selecting tools for use with the compressor. Air tool manufacturers normally express the volume of air required to operate a tool in cubic feet per minute (cfm). This refers to free air delivered by the compressor (‘air out’) which varies according to the pressure setting. Do not confuse this with the compressor displacement which is the air taken in by the compressor (‘air in’). ‘Air out’ is always less than ‘air in’ due to losses within the compressor. Be sure to take into account the CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) requirements of your air tool, which will need to be lower than the CFM of your compressor. High CFM ratings mean a compressor can provide more air, making higher CFM units more practical for larger applications. Air tools require lubricant so that the internal moving parts are lubricated. This can be done by placing a few drops of oil in the air inlet fitting on the bottom of the air tools This should be done on a daily basis or whenever the tool is used. It is also recommended that an air filter lubricator is used. An air filter is a device which removes contaminants from a compressed air stream.

Moisture can condense in the air compressor so it is extremely important to drain the tank after each days use, also the filter regulator. If left in the tank moisture could accumulate and rust and weaken the tank, also this moisture could find its way along the airline and into the tool and affect the performance of the tool. If these steps are carried out the working life of the tool will be prolonged. This will ensure optimum performance. Safety glasses should always be worn when working with air tools to protect from flying debris such as particles of metal, rust, dirt and grime.
