Default Using a ball-check oiler for an air tool

On a side note/question. How do people use the air ratchets? Like

Best I can figure out is to use it like a regular ratchet and then hit
the air once you get something broken loose (shrug).

I thought it would be handy at times but I rarely go dig it out...


Just put it on the bolt , pull the trigger , and watch the nut/bolt spin .
The whole idea here is to spin that nut where you haven't got room to swing
a ratchet handle . I love mine particularly for disassembly , reassembly not
always .
