New to ratchets. Need it for odd things around the house. What should I be looking for? Diff between 1/2 & 1/4? What are the other things that I need?

Just the shape of the head of the wrench. No difference in the way they work. Just go ahead and buy one and you'll figure it out.

The difference is what you said basically. The bigger the tool the bigger the job usually. If you want a set for around the house, I would look around on here for a 3/8 in set. Or you could go to auto zone or sears and get a set for probably around 50-70 dollars.

A 3/8" socket is usually all that is needed for everyday repairs. The 1/2" is for larger projects such as taking head bolts from an automobile motor's heads to remove and replace the heads. I bought both the 3/8 and the 1/2" drive ratchets and like them both. A 1/4" rachet is for more delicate jobs. I rarely use one, myself. Buy with confidence, my friend.

The body is same size. Ratcheting head is bigger on 3/8. I recommend 1/4 if the purpose is to get to tight spaces. Torque output is the same

It is neither 1/4 nor 3/8, it has a standard hex collet sized to fit the usual interchangeable screwdriver bits. You can get a chuck that has a hex shank or drill bits with hex shanks, your choice, but there is neither chuck nor bits included with this tool. There are two batteries and a charger included, though.

Metric ratchet set with extender. I think it was 16mm. I also used 2 jack stands to prop it up until I got the bolts in place.

Anything over 3mm should work fine, 4mm is ideal for smaller pieces I think

The 3/8" unit is more accurate in the lower range that the 1/2" unit. However, both units are more accurate in their mid and upper ranges than their lower ranges--but still pretty fair. Use the unit you buy to test and adjust your wrench, then use the wrench. Accuracy is more critical on parts such as engine heads, main caps, connecting rod caps, etc. So, keep this in mind.

Dude, this is a 3/8" square drive. It would be used with 3/8" impact sockets, in my case I use it for assembly work.I'm thinking you may have bought the wrong tool if you are looking for a 1/4" carpenter's tool.

Both tools require 90+ psi, and specified flow requirement is 5cfm average (IR231G), 3cfm average (ir170G). I have found the IR231G to be light on total airflow required in practice, so most any reasonable compressor should suffice. Official specifications: http://www.ingersollrandproducts.com/am-en/products/tools/edge-series-tools/impactools/231g/modelspec/35781 ...listed flow is is 5 cfm average, 22 cfm at load. In practice my oil-less prosumer compressor, which barely meets these specs but has a largish vertical tank, is 100% fine with this tool. This probably due to the fact that all I need during use is short bursts of air and then the tools internal inertia finished the part removal. I very seldom use the tool for fastening though you can - but it is wise to do final torque with a torque wrench, of course. The impact ratchet (170G) requires more airflow in practice for my use, ironically, though its specified average air consumption is 3cfm, peak 20 cfm. My compressor cycles much more with this tool, though the tool functions fine at reduced pressure as long as you do not require peak torque -- which usually is true. The larger air requirement for the ratchet comes from the continuous airflow for rotation over longer times, as opposed to short bursts. But it does work fine with my compressor and I use it often. Again not for final torque.

The 1/2 inch is referring the the drive that the socket attaches to. As for the hose skip the 1/4 hose and fittings and use 3/8 filing and 1/2 hose. There is much more airflow and power to be had when using them.

Strictly speaking as an amateur: 3/4" pipe is fine for an average household fun. Be sure to use the gas-type pipe thread tape or liquid sealer, and check for leaks. Believe the unit comes with a standard 110VAC plug, and that is low amperage. Unit works like a champ and the Takagi folks I communicated with were very helpful. Be sure the exhaust vents properly so that you have no (odorless) CO accumulation!

you can use argon and ..030 wire would be a good choice and the gun does come with both .030 and .035 contact tips..035 wire might be better for the 1/4"

Its a universal rotisserie with a37 1/2 in spit. So, get a measuring tape and a drill with 1/4 bit and the rest is self explanatory. Lol

That depends on the hard drive and its fasteners.This is a normal 1/4" drive mini set that comes with the ratchet. If you need another kind, you can buy one at any hardware store.It would help to know what fastener you need. Many hard drives just use various size Philips screwdrivers, for example, and that is no problem.

It's just a basic air ratchet, but high torque and low noise (for an air ratchet). The variable trigger has a really nice touch. I use it a lot, but still use an impact wrench or breaker bar to break really tough fasteners. Hope that helps.

I'm sorry but I'm not home right now. You can google tips from Weller and it shows like a .06 or .08. I have both but can't remember the 1/4" ratio. I think I called Weller to find out. Wonderful soldering iron.

Dear Melanie S, I believe the heavy impact gun is 1/2 inch and the impact ratchet tool is 3/8 inch. Hope this helps. I was very impressed with the quality and durability of this set. Its been able to remove sockets that I was unable to previously budge. Its saved me so much time and effort.

It is 1/4" & if I remember it has a 1/4" to 3/8" adapter. I use the 1/4" with a long extension and ratchet. Sorry for late reply due to holidays and a good case of the crud. GMF
