The Aircat Brand

The AIRCAT line represents the most significant advances in the performance of pneumatic power tools in nearly 30 years. Founded in 1998, our tool line has a substantially reduced level of noise while retaining more power and torque. AIRCAT also incorporates a patented ergonomically engineered handle design to relieve stress and fatigue on the operator’s hands, wrists and arms. AIRCAT has the patented tuned exhaust muffler technology in most tools, which allows discharged air to pass without developing back pressure, thus retaining more power, while significantly reducing noise.

AIRCAT customers make us who we are, that is why AIRCAT has created tools that put the end-user first by giving them a quiet, ergonomically designed, high quality, powerful Pneumatic tool. We strive to use only the highest grade materials in our parts; this gives the end-user a quality, long-lasting air tool without any premature breakdown of the product.
