now a good quality 3/8" drive air ratchet is a huge benefit to a mechanic, as it speeds up a great deal of the work removing and installing bolts in non-critical areas on the car.
theres a great number of really crap quality 3/8" drive air ratchets, but having a couple decent ones makes life far easier, just keep in mind they require oiling frequently,and dry air and in most cases about 90-110 psi air pressure to work correctly long term.many guys blame the air ratchet when its the compressor or air lines or the pressure levels or lack of maintenance running it that's the real problem.
surprisingly these cheap ratchets work reasonably well, but they are not anywhere near the quality of the better ones available.

if you don,t keep the air pressure levels up to a minimum of 90 psi, the tool well oiled and the air feeding it dry you won,t get good service from the tool!, start every day by draining the compressor of moisture, and oiling the tools
