Product Information
Full details
The Laser Tools Go Thru Air Ratchet Socket & Bit Set (9016) is designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts needing a versatile and efficient tool for tightening and loosening fasteners in tight spaces. Its key benefit is the 'Go Thru' socket design that allows for fasteners with protruding studs to be worked on without issue, alongside a comprehensive set of drive converters and bits. A caveat to consider is the need for a 90psi air supply to achieve optimal performance.

FAQs
What is the primary advantage of the 'Go Thru' socket design?
The 'Go Thru' socket design allows for fasteners with long or protruding studs (like bolts) to pass completely through the socket. This enables you to work on fasteners in areas where standard sockets would not fit.
What air pressure is required for this tool?
The air ratchet requires a regulated operating pressure of 90psi (approximately 6.2 bar) for optimal performance.
How often should I lubricate the tool?
It is recommended to lubricate the air ratchet daily with 1-2 drops of air tool oil inserted into the air inlet nipple before use.
What types of bits are included in the set?
The set includes 10x 1/4" shank bits: PzDrive (Pz1, Pz2, Pz3), Flat (4.5mm, 7mm), Hex (4mm, 6mm), and Star* (T25, T30, T40).
Can I use my existing sockets with this air ratchet?
Yes, the set includes 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" drive converters that allow you to use most standard sockets with the 17mm hex drive ratchet.
What is the working torque and maximum torque?
The tool has a working torque of 13Nm and a maximum torque of 54Nm.
How is the set organized for storage?
The set is supplied in a durable blow-moulded case with a removable EVA foam tray, providing organized storage and protection for all components.
Troubleshooting
Air ratchet not turning or slow
Ensure the air supply is connected correctly and regulated to 90psi. Check for kinks in the air hose. Confirm daily lubrication has been performed. If issues persist, the tool may require internal servicing.
Low torque output
Verify the air pressure is at 90psi. Check for air leaks in the hose connections. Ensure the tool has been properly lubricated. The internal mechanism might be worn if the tool is old.
Socket or bit not holding securely
Check that the socket or bit is fully seated onto the drive. Ensure the drive converter is properly attached if used. Inspect the drive mechanism for damage or wear.
Air leaking from the tool body
Inspect all seals and connections for damage. If the leak is from the main body, the internal seals may need replacement, or the tool may require professional repair.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- The 'Go Thru' design solves the common problem of working with fasteners on long studs.
- Comprehensive kit includes sockets, bits, and drive converters for immediate use.
- Compact size allows access to tight engine compartments and machinery.
- Magnetic bit holder enhances grip and convenience when using screwdriver bits.
- Relatively high free speed (400RPM) speeds up fastener installation and removal.
Cons
- Requires a consistent 90psi air supply for optimal performance.
- Maximum torque (54Nm) may be insufficient for heavily seized or very large fasteners.
- Single-hex sockets might not be suitable for all fastener types or head styles.
- Requires daily lubrication for continued proper function.
- Tool is air-powered, necessitating an air compressor and associated setup.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Connect the air ratchet to an air compressor using a suitable hose and the 1/4" BSPT air inlet. Ensure the compressor is regulated to 90psi.
- Before first use, and daily thereafter, apply 1-2 drops of air tool oil into the air inlet nipple.
- Attach the desired socket or bit adaptor to the 17mm hex drive.
- Select the appropriate drive converter (1/4", 3/8", or 1/2") if using standard sockets.
Compatibility:
- Air Pressure: Requires a regulated air supply of 90psi (6.2 bar).
- Air Inlet: Uses a 1/4" BSPT air inlet thread.
- Sockets: Compatible with standard 17mm hex drive sockets and the included Go Thru sockets.
- Bits: Compatible with standard 1/4" shank screwdriver bits.
Care:
- Lubrication: Lubricate the air inlet daily with air tool oil.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the tool after each use with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using solvents.
- Storage: Store the set in its blow-moulded case with the EVA foam tray to protect the components from dust and damage. Ensure the tool is disconnected from the air supply before storage.
