Description of the Produc.
The AIRCAT line of pneumatic power tools represents the most significant advancements in the performance of pneumatic power tools in more than 30 years, according to the manufacturer. Our tool line, which was established in 1998, has a significantly reduced level of noise while maintaining greater power and torque. In addition, the AIRCAT has a patented ergonomically engineered handle design that helps to relieve stress and fatigue on the operator’s hands, wrists, and arms while operating the machine. In most of its tools, AIRCAT uses patented tuned exhaust muffler technology, which allows discharged air to pass through without developing back pressure, allowing the tool to retain more power while simultaneously reducing noise by a significant amount.
The Manufacturer’s Statemen.
You get all the power but only half the noise. Because of this, the AIRCAT tool line has a significantly lower level of noise while maintaining greater power and torque. Our tools have been tested and proven to operate at 82-86 dBa (decibels), which is significantly lower than the OSHA recommended levels. This feature is advantageous not only to the mechanic, but also to the company as a whole. The patented tuned exhaust muffler technology used in all of the tools allows discharged air to pass through without developing back pressure, allowing the tool to retain more power while simultaneously reducing noise by a significant amount. AIRCAT has developed a revolutionary through-the-handle exhaust design that incorporates a revolutionary worldwide patented internal muffler/filter that is incorporated into the handle. The advantages include a reduction in the risks associated with breathing exhaust air particulates, the elimination of blow-by into the operator’s eyes and lungs, as well as a reduction in the amount of noise. A patent-pending ergonomically engineered handle design is also included in the AIRCAT, which helps to alleviate stress and fatigue on the operator’s hands, wrists, and arms. The patented AIRCAT handle provides a more even weight distribution for a more balanced tool, as well as a unique grip that makes it easier to use for extended periods of time. It is available in two sizes. In addition to impact wrenches and air ratchets, AIRCAT offers a complete line of pneumatic tools, including reversible drills, die grinders, and cut-off tools. The company was founded in Spokane, Washington, in 1998. This line of high-quality pneumatic hand tools incorporates the unique and multi-patented exhaust muffler/filter technology that has been developed by Aircat. Because of this, the AIRCAT tool line has a significantly lower level of noise while maintaining greater power and torque. The AIRCAT impact wrench line includes mechanisms with both twin hammer and twin clutch capabilities.
I would not have taken the time to write so extensively about these Aircat impacts if my crew didn’t genuinely care about them. We’ve tried a variety of other brands and models, and it almost appears that the more expensive and well-known the wrench is, the lower the quality and performance. In our possession were two different high-end impacts from a well-known tool manufacturer, and both of them blew their trigger handles all over the driveway as soon as they were connected. However, after reassembling it after finding the missing pieces, the device continued to function properly for a few weeks before gradually becoming less responsive and requiring constant holding in place of the push button direction buttons on the back. Following this pair of impacts, we decided to give the 1000TH units a try, and we’ve been using them exclusively since then. Our grain equipment assembly crew uses an average of two high-end impacts per year, according to our records. Because of its incredible power, dependability, and handling, the 1000-TH has quickly become one of our favorites. Only a few drawbacks we found were that it is a little on the heavy side, that the trigger is a little jumpy, and that the retaining ring on the shank needs to be replaced almost as frequently as the other impacts we tested. It withstands the abuse it receives in our abusive environment, including being dropped on occasion, being dragged through mud and sand, and being subjected to pressures as high as 170 psi on occasion. Our experience with these wrenches has been positive. Only one of the over a dozen that we have used has experienced an internal failure before wearing out, and it was caused by a piece of the rotor housing chipping away harmlessly, causing the wrench to become very weak. This occurred at a location where our air source was approximately 170 psi, which was high enough to destroy our pressure regulator, and we continued to use the wrench at this pressure to complete the job. Usually, after several months of almost continuous use by a four-man crew all day for 10 to 14 hours a day, six days a week, they just become a little weaker. We then simply replace it with a new one, which we keep in the truck as a backup, and give the old one away to friends, who will get years of normal use out of it.
