Why use an air ratchet wrench?

I must admit that at first I thought an air ratchet was a poor man's impact wrench. I couldn't have been more wrong! Basically an air ratchet wrench is more powerful version of your trusty handheld socket set. However, after using this air tool a few times, you be tempted to throw that old socket set inrepparttar trash.
