Air ratchet?
Re: Air ratchet? yes there is ingersoll-rand makes one that has 70ftlbs max and chicago pnuematic has one that has 100 ft lbs of torque both are 3/8 drive. but the question i have is why do you need that much torque from an air ratchet? you should break the bolts loose with something else then use the air rachet to get them the rest of the way out or use a 3/8 impact to take them out if there that tight.
Re: Air ratchet? I just wanted to know really. Some cars I have worked on it would seem handy to have something stronger. Especially if you can't get a breaker bar or an impact in a confined area.

Re: Air ratchet? Snap-On FAR72O (that's the letter "oh" not the number "zero").
About $300 off the truck, but I see them on Ebay going for $175 on buy it now (NIB) all day long. I've got a Snap On FAR72B and there is no comparison in quality to that ratchet and the Ingersoll. Everyone I know with Ingersolls had the head fall off/strip in about 1- 1 1/2 years.
Only problem with buying a Snap On tool from Ebay is their air tools don't have a lifetime warranty and with no proof of purchase date (they record the serial number with purchase) it effectively has no warranty. They're $85 to get rebuilt through Snap On though.
