   This thing is great! Im just a DIY mechanic, but sometimes it feels like im running a shop with all of my friends cars coming in and out of my garage. This air ratchet is one of the best tool purchases I’ve made in a long time.Small(ish) head- fits in tight places, granted it not as small as a regular mechanical ratchet, but its great for those places where you can only get a click or 2 on the ratchet.Plenty of power- this thing will break loose anything that you would typically put a 1/4″ drive onLow air consumption- i have a 3 gallon, portable, 200psi, 5 cfm, contractor style air compressor, and it keeps up with this thing just fine, even with continuous use.direction selector- im pretty picky about my regular ratchets, specifically the direction selector, and i couldnt be happier with this one, you can visually tell which direction it is set to. also, its pretty much impossible to switch it accidentally.no safety stop- as odd as it may sound, not having any kind of safety stop on the trigger is nice, makes it easier to operate this tool.i also own the matching 3/8″ drive version, and could write the same review for it, only adding that it has about double the power of this one

   When I needed a new 1/4″ ratchet to replace my old one, I searched Amazon and this one came up. It looked good to me, so I bought it. It is simply WAY too short length-wise. For some crazy reason, when you search Amazon for a 1/4″ drive air ratchet, the long version  Ingersoll Rand 105-L2 1/4-Inch Air Ratchet  does not show up together with this stubby one. If I had seen both of them together in the search, I NEVER would have bought this short version. I wasted a hundred bucks. I bought the long one, and it is So much better.The problem with this stubby model is that it is not long enough to reach down into tight spots, like is common when removing timing covers, for instance. Your hand, the trigger, and the socket are all stuffed down into a difficult to access area and what happens is the trigger gets depressed when you don’t want it to. It is a constant aggravation. Maybe this one would be fine for assembly line work or something like that, but for an automotive technician, the trigger is way to big for the short overall length of the tool causing it to get pressed accidentally and the tool is just too stubby to fit into tight places.

   There are two versions of this ratchet, a short one, and a long one. I have included photos of the two different versions, plus a photo of them with a 3/8 air ratchet as comparison. This review is for the long one, part number 105-L2. I also have the stubby version, which is part number 105-D2 (which for some unknown reason is the one pictured as being the L2 version). Amazon has done a REALLY REALLY poor job of differentiating these two very similar tools. I wasted my money by first buying the stubby D2 version, only because the long L2 version never showed up when I searched Amazon for 1/4″ drive air ratchets. The stubby D2 version may have uses, I don’t know, but for an automotive technician, the long L2 version is MUCH better. The only 1/4″ drive ratchet I like better than this L2 version one of the ones made by Snap-On, but it is 3 times the price and has a reputation of breaking/wearing out too soon. This Ingersoll Rand 105-L2 is an all metal, heavy-duty tool. It has exactly the right amount of torque for 6mm fasteners, not too much when tightening them down, but always enough to break them loose. It’s a real money-maker that doesn’t break the bank.

   I bought this 1/4″ air ratchet so I didn’t have to borrow my bosses one at the shop anymore. He has a snap on model that’s about ten years old and it really is a nice ratchet. I was looking for something that would last, be small enough for what I needed and be relatively quiet. After a week of using my new ratchet I can say that it not only blows my bosses out of the water but also all of my expectations. Between my boss and co-worker they have 35 years of technician experience and even both of them were raving about this thing. The overall feel is perfect. My favorite part about it is the quietness of it. It’s about half the noise of a normal 3/8″ air ratchet and has no high pitch scream.Pros:Plenty of torqueGreat trigger feelRidiculously quietSolid constructionFast free run speedSmall sizePriceCons:Not much, the only thing that would make it better for me would be a button style trigger for really tight spaces but that’s not a big deal.

   I purchased two ratchets, a 1/4” and 3/8” drive to replace some harbor freight ratchets that my kids bought me for Christmas. Needless to say the harbor freight tools didn’t last. First off there is a big difference in build quality. These tools look professional. The pneumatic drive is much smoother and both ratchets have more torque than what I was previously using. I have a side business working on cars and both ratchets get used a lot. So far no issues and I expect that I will have them for a long time.

   It is a little annoying that the trigger is to easy to push, no catch. It doesn’t feel like it has as much power as it states. It works, but I probably would not purchase again.

   The quality of this ratchet isn’t far off from harbor freight junk. It’s chinesium but IR is supposed to be a “good brand”. Right out of the box all the stickers were peeling off the ratchet. It’s not very strong but it’s nice and quiet. This should be a $50 tool not $100. I’d of rather bought a Snapon but couldn’t pay the $500 to get one. I don’t think this will hold up since I use it professionally but would probably be fine for home owners or hobbyists.
