MT-RSR is proud to partner with AIRCAT to provide an excellent lineup of pneumatic Impact Wrenches, Rivet Guns, and much more. Founded in 1998, AIRCAT represents one of the most significant advances in the performance of pneumatic power tools the industry has ever seen. AIRCAT is committed to product innovation, high quality levels, high service levels, and continued development and expansion of their technology. AIRCAT is a step ahead of the competition when it comes to quality, technology, and even cost.
AIRCAT has multiple patents to protect the proprietary technology that makes their products special. AIRCAT was the first in the pneumatic power tool industry to integrate an air muffler into the body of the tool, which cuts down the perceived loudness a considerable amount. The United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) notes a Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for an 8 Hour Workday (consisting of continuous use) as being 90dBA. With an average of 85.8 dBA across their entire product lineup, many AIRCAT products quite literally produce less than half the noise than what requires hearing protection, meaning you can use most AIRCAT power tools all day every day without any worry of potential hearing loss or damage. Always consult manufacture and regulatory information before deciding whether to utilize hearing protection.
Since the original patent has been in the public domain for some time now, many other pneumatic power tool brands also utilize a similar integrated muffler design – after all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
AIRCAT also has a variety of patents protecting the excellent ergonomic design of the tool handles and grips. These are designed to relieve stress and fatigue on the operator’s hands, wrist, and arms, allowing technicians more efficiency and less chronic work-related injuries.
In the very unlikely event that your AIRCAT product has a defect stemming from material or workmanship issues, there is also an excellent minimum 2-year warranty. Warranty replacements ship out from AIRCAT the same day the defective product is received back. Like any pneumatic power tool, AIRCAT recommended proper lubrication and maintenance to keep your equipment in tip-top shape.
AIRCAT pneumatic impact and ratchet products also provide an incredible amount of torque. At the recommended 90 PSI at tool inlet, many of the AIRCAT 1” Drive Impacts produce above 2,000 Ft-Lbs of loosening torque, meaning that you will never have to fight with a rusted-on nut or bolt again. Even the 3/8” Drive products can produce up to a staggering 800 Ft-Lbs of loosening torque, perfect for a tire shop that focuses primarily on passenger vehicles.
Over the past 30 years, AIRCAT has proved themselves as an invaluable asset for every technician, shop owner, or distributor in the automotive industry.
