Bosch pneumatic 3/8 and 1/2 inch ratchets

[toolaholic]

I googled ‘ does Bosch make a cordless ratchet” and found this. I have a bunch of Bosch 10,8/12 volt tools. Always hoped they’d come out with a 12 volt ratchet. In the meantime I use a 1/4 drive ingersol rand and a 1/2 drive aircat. Both pneumatic. I posted cause I never heard of Bosch making air tools. https://www.bosch-professional.com/gb/en/products/pneumatic-ratchet-wrench-1-2-0607450795

Interesting, I didn't either. I like Bosch products especially those made in Switzerland.

Get yourself a taiwan made reactionless air ratchet as they real nice to use and the nano versions game changer for auto work .
Kuani KI-2323 and KI-2328 being ones I own .

I think those are industrial-focused (expensive) and are made by Rexroth, which is owned by Bosch. Probably not crappy quality

Part of their industrial/production tool line. Watch a video of a European car/truck manufacturing plant & you’ll see quite a few Bosch tools used on the line. $$$

Impacting air ratchet from SPair was a game changer for me. Their sealed head air ratchets are super fast for pulling lots of bolts.

The Bosch stores I have window shopped in Germany are impressive, and stocked dozens, or more, tools than I have seen in North America.

They make HD Milwaukee and Dewalt seem like small potatoes.

Finn is right. But addressing Mr. B. Astro Pneumatic's 1128 impacting air ratchet is the Kuani you reference. The biggest downfall of these ratchets is idiots that run them at 175 PSIG and they simply will not tolerate that for long. How do I know? Eric O, who does exactly that has gone through about six of them. That stated the SPAir is superior from the standpoint of build quality.

^ astro 1128 looks much same as KI-2323 but is possible astro done some design changes ...
I run 145 to 155 static and with short line run and minimal fittings dynamic is close to 110, been a good tool and they saved me lot of physical wear and tear and time .
What amazes me is don't see many big tool players making most of this air ratchet design .
