Usually the first step in a home improvement or automotive project is to unscrew some bolts to reach the work area. Removing old parts can be challenging. Using air tools makes it easier. Sears ratchets provide power without stripping sockets, nuts and bolts. Craftsman, Ingersoll-Rand and Chicago pneumatic ratchet tools offer air compressor attachment or cordless versatility. These air tools are also called pneumatic tools.

Pneumatic ratchets come in a variety of sizes to fit compatible sockets. It is important to use the right size ratchet head to avoid damaging the tools or the nuts and bolts. The head size is etched on Craftsman pneumatic ratchet tools to ensure the proper fit. Some models offer a lock-in head grip to prevent the tool from slipping during use. To check for proper fit, slide the socket attachment over the ratchet head. It should fit snugly. Determine which direction the socket should spin before sliding it over the nut or bolt. Spinning left will loosen the item. Spinning right will tighten it. A toggle switch on the ratchet head will change direction.

There are two main head styles available on ratchet wrench air tools. Use the pivoting head for hard-to-reach angles in automotive engines and compact plumbing fixtures. Use the standard head for right angles in routine auto maintenance and home improvement projects.

Sears air tool ratchets come in two sizes of hand grips. Mini ratchet tools are shorter and thinner. They are easier to use in cramped spaces. Standard tools allow a solid grip for larger hands. Ergonomic styles reduce hand cramps and discomfort with daily long-term use. Standard air tool ratchets typically have higher power capabilities than mini tools. The foot-pounds and air speed are adjustable on some models. Use a slower speed in short bursts on nuts and bolts for older equipment and in tight places for best results.

Modern ratchet wrench air tools are specially designed for quiet operation. Ingersoll-Rand ratchet wrench air tools, for example, have a built-in silencer that does not compromise the amount of power used. Using models with higher speed and torque can get the job done faster without disturbing others with noisy air tools in close quarters.

Sears ratchets are available in portable air tool models powered by lithium batteries or as attachments to air compressors. For air compressor attachments, check the hose connection size for compatibility before choosing which one to buy. Whether portable or stationary, Sears air tools will make the job faster and easier.
