When fasteners are buried deeper than a standard ratchet can comfortably reach, the AIRCAT 808-22-A Long Reach Composite Ratchet Wrench gives technicians added access for light-to-medium fastening work in automotive, equipment, assembly, and MRO service environments. Its 65 ft-lbs maximum torque supports small-to-medium fastener removal and installation, while the 200 RPM free speed helps run hardware down faster than manual ratcheting. The 3/8" square drive fits compatible 3/8" drive sockets for brackets, covers, clamps, guards, panels, light mounts, and recessed service hardware.
At 21.60" long and 4.50 lbs., the 808-22-A is built for reach where a shorter pneumatic ratchet may not place the head far enough into the work area. The extended drive shaft helps access hard-to-reach fasteners behind surrounding components, while the unique head anti-spread construction helps maintain durability and consistent performance over the life of the tool. A low-profile forward/reverse shift knob makes direction changes easier in close quarters, and the ergonomic hex nut with composite handle helps isolate against cold and absorb vibration during repeated service work.

FAQs:
- Q: What is the AIRCAT 808-22-A best used for?
A: The AIRCAT 808-22-A is best used for 3/8" drive fastening where technicians need extended reach. Common uses include automotive repair, access cover removal, equipment maintenance, body and interior service, light assembly, and general MRO work. - Q: What is the benefit of the 21.60" long reach design?
A: The longer body and extended drive shaft help position the ratchet head on fasteners that are difficult to reach with a standard-length ratchet. This is useful behind brackets, guards, covers, panels, and other surrounding components. - Q: How is the AIRCAT 808-22-A different from the AIRCAT 808-15-A?
A: The AIRCAT 808-22-A is the longer 3/8" drive version listed at 21.60" long with 65 ft-lbs maximum torque. The AIRCAT 808-15-A is the shorter 15.30" long reach model listed at 35 ft-lbs maximum torque. - Q: What air hose size should I use with the AIRCAT 808-22-A?
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. This pneumatic ratchet 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.
