Chicago Pneumatic T022708 Air Ratchet 3/8 in Drive

Product Description

The CHICAGO PNEUMATIC T022708 is a 3/8 inch drive pneumatic air ratchet designed for fastener work in tight spaces where a standard impact wrench cannot reach. It delivers 10 to 50 ft/lb of torque through an inline handle configuration, making it a natural fit for automotive, fleet, and general mechanical applications. Operating at 90 psi and consuming 3.7 CFM, it runs at 150 RPM and accepts a 1/4 inch NPTF air inlet. At 2.75 pounds and 10 inches in overall length, it is compact enough for confined-space fastener removal and installation. Lever throttle control gives the technician precise speed management during use.

This air ratchet is suited for automotive repair shops, fleet maintenance bays, and industrial assembly lines where repetitive fastener work demands a reliable inline pneumatic tool. The 3/8 inch drive accepts standard sockets, allowing techs to move quickly through bolt patterns on engine components, suspension hardware, and underhood assemblies. It is intended for use with a shop air system capable of maintaining steady pressure at the inlet.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style pneumatic ratchet for use with standard 3/8 inch drive sockets on shop air systems supplying 90 psi at 3.7 CFM or greater.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or pneumatic tool technician. Before connecting, verify the shop air supply is regulated to 90 psi and that the air line is equipped with an inline filter-lubricator to protect the tool motor. Connect using a 1/4 inch NPTF fitting and confirm there are no leaks at the inlet before operating. Do not exceed the rated air pressure, as overpressure can damage internal components and reduce tool life.
