Got to use this bad boy for the first time today. It’s pretty sweet. 67 ft. lbs. of torque, good balance, even has a quick release which is unusual for an air rat. Review will follow.
Very nice.
I really like the finish Proto is using on their titanium tools. I don’t know what it is but i like it better than the typical chrome that most air tools are finished in.
Has a very rugged, modern, look about it.
That air ratchet would be handy to change the wheel bearing on my Grand Prix, but the cold and snowy weather kinda killed that idea. The hassle isn’t worth the money I would save doing it myself.
I do some of my own auto work, but some jobs just aren’t worth the hassle for no more than it costs to have it done. I still change my own oil, but I can have it done cheaper.
Air rats come in handy under the hood where a regular ratchet is slow going. Nothing better than 0 degree swing arc.
This one is light and has good power. I love the fact that is quick release and you can change directions without pulling the tool all the way out of wherever you have it stuck. It’s also the easiest variable speed trigger to control that I’ve ever used.
Proto isn’t playing around with their air tool line. Both items I have are fantastic performers.
That one looks completely different to all other air ratchets. I like that it has a quick release. If I wasn’t going to get the AC Delco 12v ratchet I would definitely consider this one.
