<h1>Wrenches & Ratchets Buying Guide<br /></h1> <p class="MsoPlainText">See All Wrenches & Ratchets: <a href="http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/6/Tools/1/CompressorsAirTools/AirTools.jsp">http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/6/Tools/1/CompressorsAirTools/AirTools.jsp</a><a></a></p> <p></p> <p><br />Air tools help the pros work quickly and efficiently and they can help the home mechanic too.<br /><br />Air tools run cooler than similar electric tools, and with few moving parts, they are very durable.<br /><br />Their high power to weight ratio and smaller size makes them less tiring to use.<br /><br />Impact wrenches do the heavy work of removing lug nuts. The high torque these tools generate and the hammer action allows them to tackle big jobs.<br /><br />High end models can generate almost 550 ft-lbs of torque.<br /><br />There are a variety of impact wrenches to choose from depending on the job to be done – full size high torque models as well as smaller models for tight spaces, even this butterfly model for one handed operation.<br /><br />Look for cushioned grips and large triggers for more comfort.<br /><br />Ratchet wrenches are used for lighter duty fastening and removal like changing spark plugs and tune-up work. <br /><br />Anything a manual ratchet can do, an air ratchet will do faster.<br /><br />A stubby model will get into tight spaces where a conventional ratchet won't work.<br /><br />Look for comfortable cushioned grips and an easy to use reverse lever.<br /><br />Higher-end models will have tempered steel in the head for a more durable tool. <br /><br />Protect yourself as you would when using any power tool.  Gloves and safety glasses are a must.<br /><br />You can find a wide selection of air tools and compressors...at Canadian Tire.</p>
