pound for pound the best for the cash

I use to own a mac then before that a snap-on and paid well over 100$ for both of them. This air ratchet, pound for pound is as good if not better than those others. And 'cause of the price I totally recommend this to the weekend mechanic or the professional technician.

used the air ratchet today for the first time at the shop and have decided to take it back home. the trigger design and side exhaust is horrible and is made of plastic, i could not see this product lasting even 6 months in  the work place. what do you expect for the price though, would be alright at...

This mini ratchet is great...

Had this one for over 3 years now. Got it on sale. Wasn't sure what to expect because of the price, but I've been using it 5 days a week since I got it and it's been awesome. Very very durable, fast and fits in tight spaces. I love this tool.

nice tool for the price

i really like the 360 rear exhaust and as small as it is it does pretty well for its size.

Built for the average Joe

This is a good air tool for the average home shop mechanic. It offers a fair amout of torque, and is fairly small. It is not as compact as my Snap On, and the side exhaust (even though it rotates) is a pain for me. The priceing puts it as a great tool for the money. Mine is used every day in a dealership, and I hope to get a lot of use from it. The only downside is the throttle trigger. It is plastic with a plastic tool housing. I forsee it to become brittle and break off from being exposed to oil and other fluids. Overall, very good. A  little better throttle design would make it great.

Great air ratchet

I finally redeemed my SYWR points and got this gun for free, and I could not be more happier. I'm a mechaic and I use this on a daily basis. All my co-workers have nothing but bad things to say about Craftsman air tools, but this ratchet easily outperforms their IR ratchets. Has nice power, and the exhaust vent can be redirected by spinning an exaust port on the bottom of the ratchet. Add a flexible hose connector, and I don't think you will be disappointed.

Just as good as a snap-on or a Mac pound for pound. Very good tool. Totally recommend this rachet, to anyone in the field.

very good

I love this air ratchet because its so small and doesnt break off some of the small sensitive bolts when i put them back in.
