find a used craftsman or snap-on on egay. my father in law has one (half his garage is harbor frieight) and it just sucks. does the job, but if you are gonna use it all the time, I wouldnt use it. find a used craftsman and take that ---- back, get a new one.

 

we have a craftsman at my house, my dad got it a long time ago and has never failed

 

ill tell you the same thing i tell anyone that buy ---- from my work...you get what you pay for.... i mean seriously you think a $70 harbor frieght impact gun will hold a candle to my roommates IR Ti? lol ---- no...


i fell in love with this tool when it removed a Honda crank pulley bolt with NO pistons or rods in the motor. if the Ti cant get it loose it probly wasnt ment to come off...

 

Cheap impact guns blow and you will have problems removing the crank pulley bolt on a Honda.Air supply is critical as well but cheap impacts regardless suck.Ingersoll Rand,Ultra Pro [NAPA] Snap ON Craftsman etc.This is one of those things where you don't want to cheap out.

Edit- I have tried the gun above and that is bad ***.Light as well.I want it bad.

 

we had some sick guns in our sams club tire garage, and then they got craftsmans and ---- like that, and even though i got a craftsman at home, they couldnt handle that much of a beating everyday afeter like 2 weeks wed be bringing em back cuz they would just start locking up trying to get the lug nuts off....

 

lol, i have both craftsman and the harbor freight one and i sware there both the same ------- gun. they're both made in the same country and i think the craftsman one is just rebadged everything about the gun is exactly the same as the central pneumatic one.. IR makes some good guns. id get a used matco or snapon from ebay

 

Thats because Craftsman sucks. IR, Snap On, MAC, Matco.......

 

If you are going to use it for work every day, then I would say no. If this for home use, then it should be fine. 625 ft of tq should handle most of the stuff you will run across at home.

 

just to steal the thread, has anyone used electric impact wrenches? do they work as well?
