Looking for a good reactionless air ratchet

[teamarctic]

Like the title states, looking for a good reactionless air ratchet. Have a basically brand new snap on far7200 that never gets used because ive smashed my hand a few times.
What would you guys reccommend?

I've never heard of such a thing.. I've only smashed my hand a few times. Just hold it tighter or break it loose by hand instead of with the air.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction....... remember that rule from school? its why there is no such thing as a "reactionless" air ratchet.

My father and I both have the ingersoll rand IR111 and love them. Not sure what I paid for it 7 years ago but it's been worth it to not smash my fingers when it hits its limit.

I know this is my first post, been lurking for a while. This subject just caught my eye and attention, couldn't help but share my experience.

If you guys bothered to Google it, there is such a thing. I have no experience with one though. Personally I like crushing my had and bleeding it bit, reminds me I'm human.

Doesn't harbor freight sell one of those?

the earthquake impacting air ratchet from HF wont mash your hands too bad either. its not reactionless in the true sense of the word, but its much better than a regular style for not yanking

The IR Hammerhead looks nice.

do some arm curls.......

it puts out 70lb/ft

come on over and play with my Swench Wrench......

it does a solid 800lb/ft

Get a little air regulator and stick it to the end of the ratchet. It'll bring the power and speed down but at least you can dial it in to what you're comfortable with.

I asked the same question a few months ago.
