LE-R2150B 1/2" Air Ratchet — 75 ft-lb, 3-Gear Planetary, 360° Swivel Exhaust
The Le Lematec LE-R2150B delivers 75 ft-lb of torque through a 3-gear planetary system with double ratchet pawls — built for automotive suspension, exhaust service, drivetrain work, and heavy equipment maintenance where a standard ratchet runs out of steam.
Key Features
- 75 ft-lb Max Torque (102 N-m): Handles suspension bolts, exhaust manifold studs, and drivetrain fasteners that lighter ratchets can't break free
- 3-Gear Planetary System: Smooth, consistent power delivery with reduced vibration vs. single-gear designs
- Double Ratchet Pawls: Doubles the engagement points for longer tool life and more reliable torque transfer
- 360° Swivel Exhaust: Directs exhaust air away from the work surface and operator in any position
- Lightweight Composite Housing: 2.6 lbs — reduces fatigue during extended use without sacrificing durability
- Heat-Treated Sleeve: Hardened for long-term professional shop use
- Comfort Rubber Grip + Enlarged F/R Switch: Quick direction changes without repositioning your hand
- 180 RPM Free Speed: Fast enough for production work, controlled enough for precision fastening

Frequently Asked Questions
What air compressor do I need for the LE-R2150B?
This tool requires approximately 5-6 SCFM at 90 PSI. A 20-gallon tank handles intermittent use; a 30+ gallon tank is recommended for continuous operation.
Is the LE-R2150B compatible with my existing air setup?
Yes. It uses a standard 1/4" NPT air inlet fitting compatible with most compressors, hoses, and quick-connect couplers from any manufacturer.
What is the difference between the LE-R2150B and LE-R2550B?
Both are 1/2" drive air ratchets. The LE-R2150B delivers 75 ft-lb and is lighter — ideal for general automotive and maintenance work. The LE-R2550B produces 70 ft-lb and includes a thumb-operated throttle lock — better for heavy-duty industrial and production environments.
Can this air ratchet remove lug nuts?
The LE-R2150B can loosen lug nuts initially broken free with a breaker bar or impact wrench. It is not designed as a primary lug nut removal tool — for that, use the Le Lematec 1/2" Impact Wrench (1,000 ft-lb).
