Campbell Hausfeld TL050101AV 3.8" Air Ratchet

I bought the harbor freight ratchet for only 18 dollars but it was very loud and turned very slow so I went to Wal-Mart and bought this ratchet for 37dollars including tax took it home then went online and bought it for 26dollars with free pickup same day then returned the other one anyway it is loud also but turns fast and has better torque I really like Campbell hausfeld and also have their 1/2 impact gun. p.s. not knocking harbor freight I get a lot of great deals there.

works great for an average jobs and the price you pay for it. Not too heavy and bulky so it's easy to handle and it's not loud either.

Not top of the line but will do on a budget.

Obviously not as powerful as an impact wrench, but works fine for most tasks. This air wrench is good for occasional use, at a nice price. The handle is a bit slippery if you get oil or grease on it, a better grip would be nice. Mechanics and others who need an air wrench several times a day should probably get a better one.

Got the air ratchet home and taped and threaded an air-hose connector. Attached my air hose and heard a slight, almost imperceptible hiss. Checked my line and fittings, but it was coming from the ratchet handle area. The handle is 'on the trigger' edge, meaning if I touched it lightly, it ran. Taking it back for a replacement that I hope is not leaking.

I saw this ratchet on-line here and found they were available locally at my neighborhood Walmart. I was interested in a air ratchet for use in changing blades on my lawn tractor without having to remove the deck. The limited work height, even when the tractor is jacked up, prevented use of my Campbell Hausfeld impact gun for blade removal. Since my blades need to be torqued in the 45 to 55 foot pound range, I thought this air ratchet would be ideal for the job since it was rated for 50 ft lbs. I then went to my local store and made the purchase. In use, I checked the torque of the bolts after installing new blades with this air ratchet. Unfortunately the ratchet only torqued the bolts to 40 ft lbs @ 90 PSI which was not acceptable. Air ratchet was subsequently returned. A nice air ratchet, but it lacks the performance I need.
