An air ratchet exists for the fastener that a hand ratchet can reach but not turn quickly, and that an impact wrench cannot get near. Drive size fixes the sockets, and the three drives here are 1/4 inch, 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch, with the drive stated on all 44 lines and a torque range on 33 of them. A ratchet also turns a fastener in a position where a straight run at it is impossible, which is the other half of why the tool exists.
Head form is the access decision. A standard head suits open work. A stubby body shortens the tool overall where there is no room to swing. Mini bodies at 1/4 inch drive go into places a full size ratchet cannot enter at all, and the choice between them is made by measuring the space rather than by output.
Body material changes the working feel rather than the torque. A composite body weighs less and stays warmer in the hand on a cold morning, which matters on a tool held for long periods at an awkward angle. The Draper Storm Force composite bodies sit at 1/2 inch drive with soft grip forms alongside. Draper hold air, stubby and composite forms across the range, and PCL run the APM mini and APP Prestige bodies alongside.
The PCL Prestige lumphammer form gives more reach on the handle for a fastener that needs breaking loose before the ratchet does the running. Hand and 12V cordless ratchets are seated on the same leaf for work away from a hose.
