[CHEV4LIFE]

You should look at CP's newer turbo models. I got on a year ago it claims 800 ft/lbs of torque in rev. I don't know if it has that or not but I haven't found a nut it will not take off ( or it breaks the bolt) either way it really works. They claim to have a new model out with 1000 in rev! Oh yea is a 1/2" drive.

Its nice to have a gun with good power. My snappy has 650 in rev and 750 forward.

[IH8FORD]

yeah my snapon has 650 rev. but its also heavy as all hell.

[CHEV4LIFE]

I didnt want a super heavy gun, the 231 is just right, i looke @ some of teh snap on's but man some of them are damn expensive lol

[twiztid92chevy]

the new titaniums I'd pass on... at least for now. Where I work sells tools for a place called Toolweb/ISN (www.toolweb.com) and the sales rep that we have has said they get returned for repair often.

[IH8FORD]

yeah your telling me my snap on gun was a little over 400$

[CHEV4LIFE]

i got mine for $220:D

This thread is about impacts not air guns. Nitrocat makes a high powered impact. I am not sure about reliability.

Sounds real nice, especially compared to my second-hand Craftsman impact....it's heavy, especially when you are helping someone on a vehicle, and you are pulling lug nuts off over your head.

I've found that if I can get it enough air, my old CP impact hasn't failed to break anything loose, even though it's only rated at 400 ft-lbs.

That's why 400 ft-lbs is nothing get atleast 700 or more!

i recently picked up a new impact wrench as well a
ingersoll rand

2135Ti & QTi
1/2" Titanium Duty
Air Impact Wrench
The Titanium 2135Ti delivers 1,000 ft.-lbs. of Nut Busting Torque in a gun that weighs just 3.95 pounds! The 7-vane power plant drives enough torque to break away a nut tightened to over 1,000 ft.-lbs. in under six seconds.

i call this monster the persuader?

I agree, Coworker's Matco composite failed today internally. 3 months old and all it does now is blow air out the exhaust. We got a good laugh out of it.

Cheap impacts almost always turn out to be AIR GUNS...

j/k

edit, sorry, just realized I brought this one back from the dead...

[crewcab06]

Airgun.......you mean impact?

Wow. That just sounds expensive. Wish I was made of $$$ but until then I will just stick with my Home Depot 250ft/lb special. Have not found a rusty crusty bolt it could not crack. But then again I am a computer nerd by day and a do-it-myselfer-cause-it's-cheaper at night and on weekends.

LOL!

[firestorm]

1,000 ft.lbs. Wow!

I'm a computer nerd too, LOL. But, these days, I DIY more for pride. My Craftsman is rated for 580 ft.lbs, and that's enough to make me giggle. :D

I got my 231C for $125 about 2 years ago. It stays in the truck tool box to be used with the OBA. It's a rock solid performer for the prize, size, etc. I have the composite (non ti) version in the garage.

[00shortbox]

I've got that 1,000lb-ft Ingersoll too, that is one bad ass gun. :D :cool:
