I need an impact driver for removing seats in trucks (some have
slightly rusted bolts). Has anyone used the Ridgid right angle impact
driver? If so, I would like your opinion as to whether it could be a
replacement for an air ratchet wrench? Is it the only right angle
impact driver on the market?


Thanks in advance for any information you might have

You get what you pay for. If you really need a right angle driver
tool then I'd go and look into some of the high end Ingersol Rand
pnuematic tools. I'm sure that they sell an air ratchet that has
enough power to do what you want.

Starting the bolt manually would probably be acceptable if that is the
only real answer. An air powered unit is a problem since we will often
be away from air sources. We thought of carrying our own compresser,
but a reliable power source and the potential of an extension cord
giving large voltage drops is a real concern.

The Ridgid right angle impact driver has 700 in-lbs of torque or about
60 ft-lbs. That seems pretty high (not an impact hammer, of course).
What torque is offered in the Ingersol right angle air tools?
