I work at a dealership so the psi is alot. is this ratchet strong enough to get off engine bolts or bolts that are already loose?

Its Plenty Strong Im ADeisal Mech And I Use Mine Every Day Its A Little Loud But It WorkS Great I Have No complaInts About It

Yes, it´s strong enough to loosen the bolts, but also depends on the pressure setting, I have worked with this tool without problems, I assign 5 stars

It will work on bolts that are not torqued really tight as it doesn't have a lot of power to break them loose. It is a very good ratchet though I have had mine for six months and not had a problem with it

I would definitely say yes just because of the fact that I too work on them more than ever. This is a really loud ratchet but if you don't mind it's a really good ratchet. You can just wrap a shop towel around the exhaust and that will dampen the noise. :) for the price. There is draw back but really good tool

Don't use the wrench to tighten it. You only use the wrench for taking it off. The directions say not to tighten to much

Mt Tekton wrench was broken when it arrived, but my other ratcheting "clicker" - a Craftsman - does both RH and LH thread. The Tekton should work the same.

I'm not sure but did a test on a 3/4 bolt tightening with all you can put on a wrench and had no problem breaking it loose .very strong impact I would say at least 150 ft

Without using a set of Calipers I dont know for certain, (Im sure its Metric), but I can tell you that I used a 8" Crescent Wrench in place of the 1/2" Ratchet Drive which I didnt have. Its pretty chunky. Easily 3/4"

This is a very nice little ratchet. The ability to angle the handle is also nice. My ratchet does not require high force to activate the ratchet mechanism. I recommend that you return the tool & request a replacement. Cheers Dave

I used this tool to hold my crankshaft pulley still while I tried to loosen the center bolt. I used a huge breaker bar with 3/4 socket on the bolt and expected a 175,000 mile never removed item to give me troubles. I expected the pulley to rotate as I did the job alone. Nope, this tool is thick, heavy duty, that pulley remained completely still as I put all my weight on that bolt and the bolt lost the battle. Yea, I highly recommend this tool.

I dont think it is. It is a good torque wrench, the menu can be a pain and when you hit max torque for some reason it says error a lot

I am not sure. I'd have to do some research. But it's used to take off the Crack pulley bolt. It's useful, but that bolt is still a pain to take off even with this.

Yea,that's about right.You need a lot of leverage when using a torque wrench.Smaller than the Craftsman 1/2" clicker type I've had for years.Works well so far.Only downside is I use it rarely so install/uninstall battery with every use.

I would defenely get it..i use it every day as professional mechanic in my dealership. No problems whatsoever! ! Get the most powerful gun ..you won't know when you'll need the extra power until you need it. Ingersoll rand beats snap on gun..that's why Ingersoll rand makes their impact tools for matco..BUY IT. .you won't regret it

Good grief. That sucks. I suppose it depends on which bit broke. I assume it's the reverse thread end. Maybe it snapped deep enough that another try will grip enough to pull the whole thing out. Most auto part stores will loan them. If not I'm afraid it's a head pull.

The one I have is red. I don't recall the claimed RPM but it's very slow. Probably the slowest 3/8" air ratchet I've owned. It does the job and breaks tough bolts loose but if you want a speedy ratchet this is not the one for you.

Definitely. You will need an adaptor that the drill will hold, and accepts 3/8" or 1/4" drive sockets. I have driven lag bolts and used it on automotive and other mechanical applications as well. It packs a surprising punch, but if the load is too big, it does have its limits. I say try it and see what happens. Excellent tool.

I think it has more than enough power, most lug nuts require 100# + or - torque to tighten the lugs, this thing has 300#. I use mine to remove the lugs and they spin right off, even after they were put on at a tire store. I use a torque wrench to tighten them up for the proper torque. I really like mine, the trigger works well but the sockets are hard to remove. I don't think you would regret purchasing this wrench, lots of power and easy to maneuver, no air hose to drag around and can be carried anywhere.

Air ratchet is 50 ft lbs torque and the impact wrench is 250 ft lbs of torque

The 1/2 inch driver has more torque and power but I do have a 1/4 to 1/2 inch adapter for my 1/2 inch sockets and this tool runs them ok. I wouldn't recommend this tool for heavy automotive use (it prob won't break a rusted bolt free) but for lighter duty and everyday driving of screws, carriage bolts, timber locks, ledger bolts etc. this is the right tool. I've used mine pretty much daily for the past four years.
