5 out of 5 stars Execellent Tool!   November 20, 2009
Wilbur Tyree (Ohio)
I bought this air gun to replace an older one that I had. I received an very good price from amazon. This air gun went beyond my expectations. Ingersoll rand is a top notch company. Has all the power I will ever need. I am running it on a five horsepower oil less compressor, and it handles it well. Excellent product.


5 out of 5 stars Great Impact   November 19, 2009
M. Smith (Petaluma, CA)
I bought this impact a couple years ago and paid I think $106 for it. A good deal for an older design impact. I've been using it every day for the last two years and havn't had a problem. After 2 years it still will run a bolt down to over 350 ft lbs. The reviewer that gave this gun 1 star must have got a defective one, because I work in a heavy duty shop and this gun gets the job done. Can't beat the price either. It doesn't have the power of the newer composite guns, but it costs a third the price.

After reading the reviews here, I bought the unit a couple weeks ago after total failure of a Chinese model sold by Harbor Freight that could not even remove wheel lugs.

Big challange was going to be removing a huge nut holding the crankshaft pully on a 10 year car I just bought. The web had horror stories of how hard it was to remove that nut, rigs built to hold the crankshaft in place breaking etc.. Sounded like a great acid test to me.

Bought the correct sized socket and went at it. Nothing. Hit the button again. Lot of whacking, but no movement. That is when I noticed I had it set for tighting. Duh!!!!! Flipped the switch to loosen and tried again.
1/2 second later the nut is in my hand after surrendering faster than an Iraqi Republican Guard member. And it did not even move the crank when tightening or loosening (important when doing timing belts).

Best of all, it uses 1/4th the air the cheap unit took. Very efficent.
Took the brand new Harbor Frieght Chinese unit and tossed it on the metal pile at the town landfill later in the day. It's carrying case holds the Ingersoll-Rand nicely since it is a lot smaller/lighter.

Quality unit at an unbelievable price. You cannot go wrong with this unit!



5 out of 5 stars REALLY powerful   September 25, 2009
Richard Collette (Connecticut USA)
I can't imagine why you would want any more torque out of a wrench. I've been using this for several months now and it is a beast. It is heavy but I made the choice to get something that was durable. It reminds me of my grandfathers service station. Old world quality.

I recently purchased this same item from the local TSC store. Then realized it is available thru Amazon for $60 less money. Needless to say, I returned the first one. I had already used one of these I borrowed from my neighbor. I realized it has tremendous power and quality even using my small standard air compressor which produces about 100# air pressure. So I got this same exact item thru Amazon. Brand shiny new and I used it on the farm working on my combine. It is far superior to the old ones we had used in the past. I thank Amazon for such a fine tool and a great bargain. Free shipping and no sales tax is excellent. Quick delivery, great price and great service. I recommend this fine tool to anyone.
