Nice air ratchet, but a bit of an air hog
The air ratchet came in a box well packet and complete. It did not come with a quick connect fitting, so I had to scrounge one up out of my other tools. The ratchet works as you would expect for an air ratchet. I had hoped it would consume a bit less air than my other ratchet, but that wasn't the case. A small hot dog/pancake compressor won't be able to keep up with the air demand of this tool. You'll need a larger compressor/tank combination to be able to use this effectively.

Heavy Air-Ratchet
The PowerMate 3/8" air ratchet has an easy to use throttle lever making the air ratchet wrench easy to use and provides improved comfort and control. the ball bearing construction gives a smooth operation. It has an easy access forward/reverse selector like the expensive ones I uses as a certified mechanic. I really enjoyed using this ratchet and would recommend it to professionals and shade -tree mechanics.

Great versatile tool
When working on cars, whether old or new, I find using the right pneumatic tool makes the process easier and faster. My 1/2" impact wrench is great, but sometimes there just isn't room for it to fit. That's one of the best reasons for adding this 3/8"air ratchet. Also, when I'm reassembling parts such as an engine, I know the torque of this tool will not break a bolt prior to using a torque wrench. The paddle switch is also a nice feature.

Good for home shop use
The ratchet wrench worked really well for the applications I have used it for. It had enough strength to break lose the nuts on a lower unit I was working on and has helped the minor applications i have used it for when working on my vehicles. I'm unsure about the longevity of the tool but getting a few years out of it would be above and beyond my expectations. It is lightweight and feels lightweight with the materials so durability of drops could be a factor. I can see this being a benefit for home use in the shop but not in a commercial application.

Almost two and a half pounds of pure power!!!
This is not the first ratchet tool I've ever owned. In the past I tried to get by with getting a cheaper version of this, but, I could tell just by picking up the box this wasn't another cheapie. Right out of the box this thing weighs over 2 lb!! I couldn't wait to get the fitting on it and get the compressor charged up!! I know I will have to get some better sockets, but right now I have to fix my wheelbarrow. It did not take long to fix it properly with this tool. With forward and reverse you can take it apart put it back together and a split second nearly. I should have learned by now to get quality tools instead of trying to save a buck or two... This thing is just flat cool!!!

Powermate VX Auto Maintenance Tool
The Powermate Vx air ratchet wrench is a high-quality powerful tool for tightening and loosening bolts and nuts. The rubber hand grip helps to dampen the vibration and helps to control the device. The 50-foot pounds of torque is powerful enough to tighten and loosen lug nuts on my pickup truck. The forward and reverse selector is conveniently located to quickly change from tightening to loosening the bolts or nuts.

A high-quality air ratchet
This is a high-quality air ratchet. It feels very sturdy and secure in the hand. The thick rubber grip provides a firm hold while using the ratchet and the lever is easy to activate. When you first receive it, there is a plastic cap on the air inlet that pops off so you can screw on a male hose connector (not included). I received this product as part of a promotion and I am very happy with it.

Solid Tool
The Power mate VX 3/8 inch drive air ratchet makes a fine addition to any tool box. Not only is this a good looking power ratchet, it is also easy on the hands with an easy to use power trigger. Comes with an easy to use reversing switch that I find the best feature. but it also has good torque and speed for removing those multiple bolts some projects have..

Doesn't look like the picture. Online shows an all black tool with metal lever. Ratchet that showed up is half black half silver with a large plastic red button. Didn't test as I don't want the plastic button and will be returning it.
