To go Air or Cordless

[dist3]

I'll second the snapon cordless impact. Bought mine off the truck as a trade in works great, batteries have lasted well. Still will find a need for air gun.

I've grown up using air guns and find I can judge them a lot better than cordless. I just dont get the feedback off the cordless to know when something is getting tight if you know what I mean.

Had an ingersoll rand gun the other day, would definitely recommend that for power

as noted it depends on what you work on. big bolts need big power. long usage needs long power. for me and what i do i like a 3/8 cordless impact. there are dozens of variants. air drills are my first choice. i have 7 of them. plastic air impacts are lightweight and very powerful. probly the only corded tools i use are grinders and saws. i like cheap die grinders. you can get a dozen for the price of one top of the line models. stick all kinds of bits and wheels in them and almost never have to stop to chenge a bit. if your gonna be a stickler for all name brand tools in your boxes then your gonna pay the price for that.

I like the cheap die grinders aswell, though I do have 1 snap on 1hp die grinder. Only ever had a cut off disc on it. I hate discs binding up or stalling out, and the snap on spins like a son of a b, and never stalls out. Eats discs like no other, but the company buys those

But I have about 4 others cheapos that I keep my other bits on, and I agree that for 90% of tasks they do just fine. Just I like the power if I ever need to cut something in a tight spot that a torch cant go into for whatever reason.

This is probably the best 3/8" impact I've ever had.

Ingersoll Rand: Model# 2115TIMAX. http://www.sears.com/ingersoll-rand-titanium-3-8-impact-tool/p-00982915000P#reviewsWrap

I can, if I want, use a working pressure of 175 psi... I know it will stretch or obliterate a ½" grade 5 chisel plow sweep bolt.

Of course, my primary goal is to remove and replace, not... stretch or obliterate...:tong... lol

I take it you are NOT referring to grandpa in that sentence.

Hmmm?
Ahhh!...:idea Yes, you are correct.

The sentence, would then have had to read...

Since I can no longer edit that post, you have my absolute and unqualified permission... to 'fix' the last sentence in post #25.
