Things are much different with battery powered stuff now. All the guys working in body shops use Milwakee or Makita tools. They are quality stuff. You get what you pay for when it comes to tools.

I love my IR, its stout! Make sure you have good clean dry air to extend the life!

Well, it's clean, don't know about dry, but it does get juiced well before each use as does my CP impact.

Place an inline air dryer off of your compressor. It will save your pneumatic tools from moisture damage.

Wow! What a coincidence. I just bought that exact air ratchet to replace my worn out one. The difference in power is night and day. Im very pleased

I replaced my 20 year old Snap-on with that one 2 years ago. I find the quality to be the same, the performance to be the same and the price to be a third. A winner in my book.

Just purchased a new 1/4 drive air ratchet to replace my old CP one. It's an Aircat and from everything that I read, got the best reviews.
