Astro 1128 mini air ratchet

[Hohn]

What an awesome little tool. It’s SO compact and gets so many places, and 700rpm!

It showed up yesterday as I was wrenching on my project and dang is it handy. At the price, it’s a bargain to boot.

Thank you @Astro_Pneumatic_Tools for bringing this to market.

I believe I bought the 1/4 version (its even smaller) and really like it.

I've almost quit using any sort of air powered tools though. Air ratchets are a bit too loud for me anyways.

I have a snap on mini 1/4. I think FAR25A that I havent used in forever. Everytime i think about it I grab my m12 lol.

I guess I’m still an air tool guy. I have my Makita ratchet right next to the air ratchet and usually reach for the air because it’s half as long.

For big usable power in small size air is the way, A day in my auto shop with air out of service is a very unproductive day .
Add in the low cost of air tools,the durability/lifespan & in use control of power they can not be ignored in a shop or HD/harsh environment

True, but I'm wearing ear protection pretty much all the time I'm working because I need it even for things like a cordless impact or a cordless grinder with a wire wheel, that kind of thing.

I find myself needing/wanting ear protection for just about any power tool regardless of power source. Heck, even my cordless chainsaw is loud enough I feel the need for ear protection.

So yes, air tools are loud (some notably less than others), but for me it doesn't amount to much difference because I'm ear plugged anyway.

Just bought a 1128 Astro mini impact wrench this morning. Can't wait to give it a go.

Mine saw a lot of use on my recent Odyssey timing belt project. It’s a dream tool for covers and that kind of thing. Man, what an easy button for timing covers and tensioner bolts.
