opinions on this impact

[skeezer]

Looking to pickup a quality impact. Just replaced my compressor, now need to get some more tools on deck.

Been looking at this one. What do you think?

Go for it. Although getting a Hilti electric one would have probably been cheaper!

What else you going to be doing with your compressor?

 

[skeezer]

make balloon animals.

Cool.

 

[skeezer]

That's what I'm looking for right there.

I bought a $9.99 impact at harbor freight. It was broke after I removed a single wheel from my car.

I bought a $39.99 impact from sears. It was broke a few months later.

You get what you pay for.

IR impacts are the shit.

Hey Ryan honestly if you're planning on using that compressor a lot I'd get an oiled one. That oil-less isn't gonna last very long

Electric impacts are roughly the same price and are much easier to use. Can bring it to the track too. Dewalt makes some good stuff in that dept.

i have the 1/2' IR Ti MAX gun, it is a real proffesional grade impact and it is amazing!!!! the one you are looking at is the not the max, in fact it is called the quiet flow one.. it is a piece of shit and at $200 you get what u pay for. My max version is more than double the price but it has 1000 ft/lbs of reverse torque. i know of people that had the gun u are looking at and couldnt remove stuff with pullers and i would come by with my gun and zip them off like nothing.

I have an electric impact from Sears that is awesome and has worked well for years.

I have the super shitty oilless compressor that will break any minute with a set of cheap and will also blow up in my face when I use air tools from the Hooooo Depot.

(So far all of the above mentioned air items have been working well with very limited use)

Oil-free is great for simple crap and occasional usage. with Constant use it just heats up and the piston and sleeves just melt. It's no good.

i wouldnt buy an oil free air tool even if i used it once a week. they are junk and wont last.
though IR is a great brand. mine takes a good beating and will zap most any bolt off with ease.

this is the TI Max (non quiet flow), i also have it in 3/8"

just a pick of my cart at work

WELL worn in as you can tell! LOL

those are some nice ratchets. i have both the 80 tooth 1/2 and 3/8ths from snap on. best ratchet out there

IR is a good brand but i personally like CP.

yea i would have gotten the 80 tooth in 3/8 but he was out so i got the standard... but the 1/2 is amazing! it makes doing rear brakes soooooo easy!

word of advice, you can stop the next time you see a snapon/mac/etc truck and they almost always have rebuilt impacts from other manufacturer's as well as their own, a buddy scored an IR/MAC twin hammer 6 years ago for 180$ and it's still trooping away i paid 300 for my composit bodied IR/MAC new and it's still here doin work 10 years later

i rarely use my 3/4 inch IR impact, but when i need it....i break shit
