I have one of the cheap cutoff tools from H.F. Paid just =2412 on sale. =
It works just fine but really eats the air. I also have in-line shears =
based on the same turbine handle and it doesn=27t take near the amount of =
air when running. Both tools work as expected and only stall when the PSI =
gets to low. For the price they can=27t be beat.

I sent this message earlier, but I think that someone on the list
probably got it...sorry.
I=27m wondering about people=27s experience with cheap air tools. I=27m =
thinking
of buying either a cutoff tool or an air ratchet. I see several makes
of these tools in Harbour Freight and Northern Hydraulics catalogs.
I=27ve noticed that some list members have these types of tools,
so I=27m askin=27 for advice.
Does the cutoff tool have a tendancy to stall? I would be using this
tool mostly to cut exhaust parts.
I don=27t expect to use the air ratchet for heavy torque loads (I already
have an IR impact gun), but I think that it would be useful for removing
things like spark plugs in tight quarters. I=27ve also considered a
=27sidewinder=27 manual ratchet (with a handle that turns on the axis of
the ratchet handle) instead of the air ratchet. Does anyone
own one of these?
Thanks for any feedback.
Jim
