Aircat Pneumatic Tools 806 High Performance Ratchet | 80 (ft-lbs) Max Torque | 200 RPM | 3/8" Square Drive

When 3/8" drive ratchet work requires more torque than a compact low-torque air ratchet can provide, the AIRCAT 806 High Performance Ratchet gives technicians a stronger pneumatic option for automotive repair, equipment service, light assembly, and general maintenance tasks. Its 80 ft-lbs maximum torque supports small-to-medium fastener removal and installation, while the 200 RPM free speed helps run fasteners down faster than hand ratcheting. The 3/8" square drive fits compatible 3/8" drive sockets for brackets, covers, guards, clamps, service panels, light mounts, and repair hardware.

The 806 is built with an enlarged ratchet head for added reliability and a ratchet head protective cover to help guard the working end of the tool during regular shop use. At 2.50 lbs. and 10.90" long, it gives technicians a practical balance of reach, torque, and control for service-bay fastening work. The unique variable speed throttle helps the operator control run-down speed, while the soft touch coated handle grip improves comfort during repeated fastening and removal tasks.

Applications:

• Automotive repair: Removing and installing brackets, covers, clamps, accessory hardware, service fasteners, and light underhood components within the tool’s torque range.
• Equipment maintenance: Working on guards, panels, small mounts, housings, service covers, and repair hardware where 3/8" drive sockets are commonly used.
• MRO and shop service: Handling repetitive fastener run-down on fixtures, covers, brackets, light mechanical assemblies, and general maintenance hardware.
• Light assembly work: Speeding up small-to-medium fastener installation before final hand feel or torque verification where a specified torque value is required.
• Service-bay repair tasks: Supporting routine fastening work where technicians need more torque than a compact 35 ft-lb ratchet but do not need a high-torque 130 ft-lb model.

FAQs:

• Q: What is the AIRCAT 806 best used for?
  A: The AIRCAT 806 is best used for 3/8" drive fastening where technicians need higher torque than compact air ratchets provide. Common uses include automotive repair, equipment maintenance, light assembly, service-panel work, and general MRO tasks.
• Q: How is the AIRCAT 806 different from the AIRCAT 802?
  A: The AIRCAT 802 is a 3/8" composite ratchet rated at 70 ft-lbs and 280 RPM. The AIRCAT 806 is rated at 80 ft-lbs and 200 RPM, with an enlarged ratchet head, protective head cover, variable speed throttle, and soft touch coated handle grip.
• Q: What does the variable speed throttle do?
  A: The variable speed throttle lets the operator control how quickly the ratchet runs. This helps when starting fasteners, working around delicate components, or slowing the tool as hardware seats.
• Q: What air hose size should I use with the AIRCAT 806?
  A: AIRCAT lists a 3/8" recommended hose size and a 1/4" NPT air inlet for this model. Using clean, regulated air helps the tool deliver proper speed, torque, and service life.
• Q: Can this ratchet replace a torque wrench?
  A: No. The 806 helps remove and run down fasteners quickly, but final torque should be checked with a calibrated torque wrench whenever a specific torque value is required.
