Aircat

Anybody use these air tools? How durable are their tools? Looking at their 1/4" ratchet and the low noise would be welcome since small air ratchets typically scream.

Also they have the nitro cat which I have heard good things about. I would also look at the weight of them if you are going to be using them much. The old IR's we have a work weight abuot 6.5 lbs. but the composite ones weight about 4.5 or 5. lbs.

wow a 6lb 1/4" air ratchet huh? with that much weight who needs the air motor just use gravity to loosen them fasteners

I guess you were refering to impacts, I already got that covered but I need a new ratchet, I decided against Aircat, too long @ 8.75". probably go with IR

Sorry but I guess that's what I get for just skimming. For some reason I had it in my head impact and didn't go back and double check.
