AIRCAT 1250-K 1/2-Inch NITROCAT Composite Twin Clutch Impact Wrench - Heavy Duty Pneumatic Air Tool with Ergonomic Handle for Automotive Repair, Tire Changes & Industrial Maintenance

This impact is fantastic. It doesn't matter if it's "the most powerful" on the market, it's simply very, very strong for a half inch impact gun.And because of the incredible smoothness of the twin/pin clutch mechanism, it's deceptively powerful. You don't feel the vibration or hear super loud hammering that suggest its really working hard. Rather, it's incredibly smooth, relentlessly powerful, and quiet enough that you don't even need ear protection while using it.I recently did suspension work on my vehicle using this newly-acquired gun and it had enough power to break loose some very rusted control arm bolts even using a wobble extension plugged into a wobble extension plugged into the socket. As experienced impact users now, extensions will kneecap the power of any impact. And Doubling them up will knock any impact down to size, especially with a wobble AT AN ANGLE.No matter. The Honey Badger of impact guns doesn't care. It just gives you smooth power that always seems enough.At 8" long, this is not a compact impact gun. It's very much a full size tool and not something for tight spaces. But since you can use extensions with it and have enough power still, it really opens up some possibilities.It's also somewhat heavy. Not heavier than anything else of comparable size in this class (IR 2235TI for example) but could be difficult to use for someone not used to a full size impact weight.The overall fit and finish are very good. The anvil has a friction ring design that fits socket perfectly-- not too tight, not too loose.Finally, lots of power is useless if you cannot control it effectively. The trigger has excellent throttle control and makes it easy to use without wrecking fasteners.Not the cheapest gun around, but a heck of a value. HIGHLY recommended.
