My new Air Ratchet! (PKRWOOD look inside)

1BAD89 · 03-29-2002, 01:03 AM

Hey I just got her the other day! I'm pretty excited, tell me what you guys think.

PKRWUD · 03-29-2002, 01:16 AM

You know, my birthday is only 4 months away.

That looks like a fine piece. IR is my favorite, hands down. I even prefer them to my Snap-on air tools. Try it for a month, and tell me what you think. I'm pretty sure what you're going to say, but I trust your honest impression, and am interested.

BTW, you're a prick.

Take care,
-Chris

LOL...um thanks....lol. It was higher priced than the other ones I was looking at, but I decided to go ahead and get it, I remember you saying you really liked the I-R air tools. And I figured it would last me a long time. I also like it because it has a button "throttle", and not a lever. I'll let you know how I like it. And next on my list is a I-R impact, it's between that "Thunder Gun" and another I-R impact. The other one is made of a composite material and has the speed adjustment on the back of the gun, they are both $199, (thunder)625ftlbs, and 600ft lbs.

I wish I had a house so that I could also have air tools, they are the best!

Crazy Horse GT · 03-29-2002, 08:01 PM

hey 1bad wait till you get the impact ,jeez you will break more bolt's than loosen them the are the hoss,later man,oh im still trying to find out on that 429,dude i found a crapload of old chevy body's the other day,even a 67 chevelle vert,all within 1 mile of each other. later

84LX89GT · 03-30-2002, 01:14 AM

Damn, that does look nice, i've also heard alot of techs swear by ingersoll-rand air tools as well. the only air tool that i don't have thats nice is an air ratchet, but it's weakness has saved my knuckles quite a few times (as well as not loosened bolts even more times than that

).

mustangman65_79 · 03-30-2002, 03:41 AM

yes, knuckle busters, I know that one all too well too.

1BAD89 · 03-30-2002, 11:56 AM

I've had other air ratchets before, I'm kinda an air tool *****. I love them, I can't get enough of them, I spend my whole paycheck on them sometimes, and then I just use them when I want to. This one is rated at 70ft lbs of torque, which is the most I've seen. I really like it because it doesn't have a lever "throttle", it has a button, and I think that in itself will save my knuckles because I can get a better grip on it.

I have the IR2131 1/2" impact. It's body is made of a "composite" material, and is probably the other one you're talking about. I love it, and wouldn't trade it for anything. It's rated at 600 lbs., and is super lightweight, making it easy to manuever. I haven't tried the Thunder Gun yet, although IR did send me a t-shirt for answering a survey about them. Anyway, the 2131 kicks *****, and can be found for under $150, if you look around.

Take care,
-Chris

We only use Ingersoll Rand impacts air ratchets and grinders where I work.. We even got a massive Ingersoll Rand compressor.

Never had a problem.
