When small fasteners need faster run-down than a hand ratchet can provide, the AIRCAT 800 1/4″ Composite Ratchet gives technicians a compact pneumatic ratchet for automotive, body, interior, light assembly, and MRO service work. Its 35 ft-lbs maximum torque supports small fastener removal and installation, while the 320 RPM free speed helps speed up repetitive run-down tasks. The 1/4″ square drive fits compatible 1/4″ drive sockets, making this tool useful for brackets, covers, panels, clamps, light hardware, and close-access repair work.The 800 uses a single pawl mechanism (a ratchet design where one pawl engages the ratchet gear to transmit turning force), paired with AIRCAT’s superior internal mechanics for consistent small-fastener performance. At 1.60 lbs. and 8.50″ long, this composite ratchet gives technicians more reach than a palm ratchet while staying compact enough for many underhood and service-bay applications. AIRCAT’s patented quiet tuned exhaust reduces sound output to 82 dBA, and the feather trigger helps the operator control speed during fastener start, run-down, and removal.Type: Composite Ratchet | Model: 800 | Drive Size: 1/4″ Square Drive | Free Speed: 320 RPM | Bolt Capacity: 3/8″ | Max Torque: 35 ft-lbs @ 90 PSI | Weight: 1.60 lbs. | Length: 8.50″ | Air Consumption: 4.0 CFM | Recommended Hose Size: 3/8″ | Air Inlet: 1/4″ NPT | Noise Level: 82 dBAFeatures:Provides 35 ft-lbs of maximum torque for small fastener removal and installation.320 RPM free speed helps speed up fastener run-down compared with manual ratcheting.1/4″ square drive fits compatible 1/4″ drive sockets for small hardware and light service tasks.Single pawl mechanism supports compact ratchet operation for controlled fastening work.Superior internal mechanics help support consistent performance during repeated small-fastener use.Patented quiet tuned exhaust reduces operating noise to 82 dBA.Feather trigger gives the operator control over speed during fastener start, run-down, and removal.Ergonomically designed housing supports comfortable handling during shop, automotive, and MRO applications.Applications:Automotive repair: Running down and removing small fasteners on brackets, covers, clamps, light engine-bay hardware, and service components.Body and interior work: Servicing panels, trim hardware, light brackets, retainers, and small assemblies where 1/4″ drive sockets are used.Light assembly: Speeding up repetitive fastener installation before final hand feel or torque verification.Equipment maintenance: Working on guards, access covers, small mounting hardware, service panels, and compact repair points.MRO and shop service: Handling small hardware on fixtures, housings, panels, and light mechanical assemblies in general maintenance environments.FAQs:Q: What is the AIRCAT 800 best used for?A: The AIRCAT 800 is best used for small-fastener work where a 1/4″ drive pneumatic ratchet can speed up run-down and removal. Common uses include automotive repair, body and interior work, light assembly, equipment service, and general MRO tasks.Q: How is the AIRCAT 800 different from the AIRCAT 807-25?A: The AIRCAT 800 is a 1/4″ composite ratchet with an 8.50″ length and 1.60 lb. weight. The AIRCAT 807-25 is a shorter 1/4″ mini palm ratchet listed at 5.40″ long and 1.10 lbs. The 800 provides a more traditional ratchet layout, while the 807-25 is built for palm-style close-quarter access.Q: What does 320 RPM mean on this ratchet?A: RPM is the free-speed rating of the tool. On the 800, 320 RPM helps run small fasteners down quickly, but final tightening should still match the fastener, material, and application requirements.Q: What air hose size should I use with the AIRCAT 800?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 and torque.Q: Can this ratchet replace a torque wrench?A: No. This pneumatic ratchet helps remove and run down small fasteners, but final torque should be checked with a calibrated torque wrench whenever a specific torque value is required.AVAILABLE VARIATIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS SKUFree Speed(RPM)Bolt Capacity(in.)Square Drive(in.)Max.
