Thanks for your helps like always guys.
Or any you guys have that are really good for under $150
I'd say the Craftsman, but we need the specs.

Yeah I know the Craftsman says 580 ft-lbs and thats it, which sucks, why wouldn't they put specs
The Earthquake at Harbor Freight sounds good but will it last,
I am open to any suggestions on other brands too

You can`t go wrong with the Ingersol 231, it`s on the page w/the Craftsman one.

Skip all of those and go with a Nitrocat.

Do a search for the Nitrocat's. Seems a lot of people are liking them and they are quiet. Either that or go with a IR Ti.
I personally own quite a few craftsman and quite a few cp tools from harbor freight. My experience so far is that if it's something you will be using all the time go with craftsman or another name brand, but if you are really just using it every so often, then the harbor stuff will be ok. I have a harbor set with an impact in it that i've had for about 5 years, i probably only use it every other month, but i've never had a problem with it. On the other hand all my nailers are hitachi, porter-cable,dewalt etc.(i know not truck tools) So my .02 is it comes down to usage, spend less on tools you don't use that often and more on the ones you do.

well I ended up going with the one from Harbor Freight, it was on sale and they said if I didn't like it take it back for a full refund...
But man this thing is well built, has a sh1tload of power and doesn't spew oil all over my hand like my old one did haha.
Thanks for the help guys.
