First of all, let’s make some definitions. An air ratchet is a hand tool that operates on compressed air. A cordless ratchet is a portable wrench that works with a battery.

A power ratchet is an electric tool that operates at high speed up to 1500 revolutions per minute. It has a swivel action that allows the user to apply torque in any direction for greater access and convenience, especially on tight corners or confined spaces.

People argue that more teeth on a ratchet mean more turning torque. It is correct, but it’s not the whole story. The number of teeth on any given size ratchet does not indicate its maximum torque capacity. Instead, that factor comes from the gear ratio and how many revolutions you can achieve for one complete handle turn.

Yes, it is possible to over grease a bearing. Grease works by creating a barrier between the metal surfaces and keeping them apart from each other.

Grease guns are air-operated devices that push grease to the point where it is needed. There are a few reasons why grease guns might stop working.

It is difficult to answer because it depends on the size of the ratchet, the size of the socket, and the strength of the person using it.

Yes, you can use cordless ratchets manually. If the battery is low, you can still use the ratchet using the manual override. To do this, hold down the button on the top of the ratchet and turn it in the desired direction.
