AIR RATCHET WRENCH

An air ratchet wrench is a pneumatic tool commonly used for fastening and loosening nuts, bolts, and other fasteners. Similar to an air impact wrench, it operates using compressed air as its power source. However, unlike an impact wrench, the air ratchet wrench uses a different mechanism to deliver rotational force. Instead of the rapid, high-impact blows of an impact wrench, the air ratchet wrench employs a gear and pawl system that allows for continuous rotation in one direction while preventing rotation in the opposite direction. This makes it well-suited for applications where a continuous rotational motion is required, but without the high-torque impact of an impact wrench. 

Air ratchet wrenches are commonly used in automotive repair, machinery maintenance, and other tasks where access may be limited, and a quick ratcheting action is beneficial. They come in various sizes and offer adjustable torque settings, providing versatility and convenience for a wide range of fastening tasks. Proper maintenance and regular lubrication are essential to ensure the longevity and efficient performance of air ratchet wrenches, making them valuable tools in professional workshops and home garages.
