reliable air ratchet recommendation?

[2cool2hear]

I love working on cars but scraping my knuckles with hand ratchets is taking the fun out of it.

There's an overwhelming number of air ratchets on market. I want to get one that is reliable and will last a long time. Which one do you have and why do you love it?

Many thanks

I just got one of these. Japanese made impact ratchet... No more bashed knuckles

Go right for the jugular. Snap On FAR72C. Power, speed and reliability. They cost out the *** but i've got one at work I've been using daily for 11 years.

I like the single body air ratchets 1/4 from matco (not sure who makes them) I know snap on has one too but I like the feel of my matco

bought one of these from the pawn shop for cheap 2 years ago and like the **** outta it...till one day she fell off the lift and the housing cracked where the two pieces met...kinda made me sad a lil if i'm honest...didn't use it every day but damn when needed it makes life a lot easier...and never had any issues of binding or anything else

then i got this one a couple weeks ago in a deal with a mg325, four sets of impact sockets and a gun case...seems decent but it locks up sometimes and won't move...need to remember to tell the snappy guy that this week finally

but, if you ain't into spending snappy type money, ir is always a great choice...

I've had bad luck with all my expensive ones, thank god for the warranty!

Love my FAR72c. I traded in my IR on it because the IR didn't have much power, and it wasn't very fast.

Great choice! If you didn't know, there is a grease fitting in the head.

I've got an IR reactionless 3/8 ratchet. I love it. Use it daily for at least 5 years and have had no trouble with it.

I just spent around 520 ncluding the air ratchet grease gun and shipping from snap on website last month

How much will you use it? My I-R 170G has been great so far. There's a couple of Amazon Warehouse Deals on 'em for $59:

Why not forgo the air hose and get a Milwaukee M12?
