do you think you can hold on to that much torque?
wate nm just read the "reationless" part... wonder how that works? so is it an air ratchet that has 'hammering action' like an impact gun?

I had an impact air wratchet a few years ago. They quit making them, so when mine finally failed I couldn't get parts. But it did last 7 years of professional daily use and another 12 of weekend usage.
It was the best wratchet I ever owned and the guys who worked with me thought the same. Wish I had bought 3 of them

Yep, I've got the 3/8 and 1/2 IR Titanium impact guns, and they kick ***. I use an old Snap On impact wrench which I've had forever. Works great, don't have the model # though.

I use the cp 1/4 in air ratchet and it's the best one i have ever owned. I am a tech and owned almost every air ratchet thats made and i do beat the **** out of my tools and that ratchet gets me about a year before my first break down. A year does not sound long but use it every day that's alot of hours. All the other air ratchets i used last half as long.

CP is bullsh-t
Buy an ingersoll-rand!I have a 3/8 and a 1/2 IR impacts and have never had down time with either except for the c-clips that hold the socket, I even use my 3/8 to pull lug-nuts off cars when our tire guys can't with their CP 1/2inchers
