buying impact gun 3/4 or 1in ???

air cat is good I have a 1/2'' gun been real impressed. I have a snap-on 1'' impact that puts 1800ftlbs down, weights only 15lbs and is awesome well worth the money

 

I have a 3/8" and 1/2" aircat impacts and they are great, I also have a 3/4" IR that is very stout.

 

I run an older version of this in model number 2141. This thing will take anything loose on a truck and will work with a limited air supply as long as it has a 1/2" air line to it. The newer 2145Q version actually uses less air than the 2141 did, so I'd say this would be a very nice gun to have

Great question I to am wanting to do that same thing. I went out and bought a 3/4 inch Drive princess auto impact wrench spent $100.00 did I get what I paid for because it won't remove the lug nuts on my truck.Do I need a better impact wrench? If so what does someone recommend?

 

Not sure about the longevity but I bought the powerfist brand 3/4" from princess auto and it didn't have the power of a 1/2" Chicago pneumatics, so I took it back and traded it on their propoint brand which seems like it has the power of other 3/4"s that I have used. I do believe I paid $150-160 for it on sale. I hope it isn't on of those "you get what you pay for" situations.

 

I bought a Cleveland Pneumatic from harbor Freight for about $125 a couple of years ago for tire work. It's doing a good job for what I need the half dozen times a year I use it. I have an IR 1/2" that does a good job on everything else.

 

Awesome thank you i might take the princess auto brand back and spend a bit more for something a bit bigger I don't think it has the power to break the nuts loose.

 

why not just get a 1" gun with variable settings? you don't have to use full torque?

 

True. Was trying not took spend huge dollars.most one inch guns are $500.00 plus.. Was going to get something versatile a one inch gun can't really be used for a lot of anything else can it?
