i dont think i have ever heard of someone wanting less power in an air tool... especially ratchets and drills. generally you want them to be running at full potential.

Some tools you do not want full balls-to-the-wall power for. Needle scalers come to mind, as do air drills. Usually you run a adjustable fitting on your air drill though, to adjust the drill bit speed on the fly.

Some air ratchets you don't want full power either, as the stronger 3/8 drive ones can easily break fasteners if you aren't careful. This makes them less useful if left at full power IMO.

thats why i said potential. using a coupler size to control a tools output is just wonky. there are ways to adjust what your air tool is doing. my point was, that when you need to run a tool "wide open" you are generally going to want all you can get out of the tool.

That's personal preference. My 3/8" air ratchet is a real knuckle buster so I tend to like it dialed down a bit. My drill bits last much longer as well when it's not spinning full speed.

having something dialed down, and reducing the coupling size, thus limiting the potential to make full power are two totally different things.
