Chicago Pneumatic T024391 1/2 in Air Ratchet 10-50 Ft/lb

Product Description

The CHICAGO PNEUMATIC T024391 is a pneumatic air ratchet built for professional mechanics, automotive technicians, and industrial maintenance crews who need controlled torque output in tight spaces. Powered by compressed air at 90 psi, this ratchet delivers a torque range of 10 to 50 ft/lb and spins at 160 RPM, making it well-suited for fastener work that requires both speed and precision. The inline handle design keeps the tool compact and maneuverable, and the 1/4 inch air inlet connects to standard shop air supply lines. At 2.97 pounds, it is light enough for extended use without fatigue.

This air ratchet is designed for automotive, fleet, and light industrial applications where a 1/2 inch drive tool is the standard. Typical use cases include suspension work, brake service, engine accessory removal, and general assembly or disassembly tasks on the shop floor. The 17 CFM air consumption requirement means it performs best on a compressor and line setup sized adequately for continuous duty. The overall length of 10.25 inches allows access to recessed fastener locations that larger impact wrenches cannot reach.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified mechanics or pneumatic tool technicians familiar with air tool safety. Before connecting to an air supply, verify the line pressure does not exceed 90 psi and that the air supply is equipped with a moisture separator or filter to protect internal components. Use thread sealant on the 1/4 inch inlet fitting as needed and ensure all fittings are tight before operating. Always disconnect the air supply before changing sockets or performing any service on the tool.
