I am in the market for a new Impact and came across this. Looks nice and says it has lots of torque but I wanted a few opinions if anyone has used one before....The tool trucks that come around are getting expensive as hell and I hate paying doubble for tools but sometimes I know you get what you pay for

Seems like it would be alright, although I'm not a huge fan of that rev/fw switch style. I like to use IR myself though.

I have a IR right now and it's been awsome...almost worn out now. I tried a IR thunder gun and it's very powerfull but it's way to loud....I'll probly go with a new IR

Get the IR titanium. It has 1,000 ft lb. of nut busting torque. I have used all kinds before, and the IR titanium has always worked the best. The 1/2 inch IR titanium is on sale right now at sears through Thursday (11/30) with a free pair of mechanics gloves.

I agree, the IR titanium is a great gun. Thunder guns are a joke. They have no power whatsoever, just high rpm.

I got a cheap ass impact and air ratchet from Harbor Freight recently, the damn impact cant remove head bolts or flywheel bolts, it's so weak it's basically an air ratchet, the air ratchet only works sometimes. Guess I will be returning these cheap bastards shortly.

I would fork out the money for a good quality impact. I would get the IR titanium or Snap-on's new impact both work great. I have a 3/8 IR titanium and love it.

Another vote for the IR here. I have a Cornwell-badged gun, it's just a rebadged IR. It's been awesome, it's been used daily in a shop for a few years now, beaten on, dropped, and it's never missed a beat. It'll take things off in 2 seconds that the shop guns bang away at for 2 minutes and can't budge. Hell I've even gotten it to snap a stud off on a dualie with a 1" lugnut that was frozen up, didn't think it had the balls for it since it isnt the Titanium gun.

I have the Matco Composite, and its been awesome. Its probably the same guts as an IR. Its very light and very quiet with the longest warranty I believe, 2 years when most are 1 yr. Its removed everything I've asked it too. I think it was $280.

5 things you need to consider: Price, warranty, weight, torque, and noise level

I work in a garage and live in Canada (lots of snow and salty roads=rust) so I see some bolts that get the red tip wrench often.

I have that exact same gun, minus all the flames. Only impacts I will buy are Aircats. I got made fun of at work for it until it would break loose everything their 500 dollar MAC/Snapon/Matco **** wouldn't. That, and the Aircats are really quiet, another reason I got it. I'm on my second Aircat, as the first one went down hill about 2 years after I got it cause I never oiled it. oops! lol
