So has anyone got the IR Hammerhead yet?

[Bran Diezel]

Somebody has to have one? How big is it? Can you work all around under the hood with ease?

been wondering the same thing, I'm very interested in it, as i need a new air ratchet.

I need the power of an air gun in tight spaces so I can save my poor knuckles

Supposedly, 700 have been sold and no word on when the next shipment is due in. Every online vendor I've talked to is out of them. This picture gives you an idea of it's size. http://www.denlorstools.com/autoblo...y-ingersoll-rand-impact-tool-not-air-ratchet/

I tried one today,my Matco dealer brought one in to try and it has power.It will take off axle nuts and lugnuts too.Come in 1/2 and 3/8 drive.

Looks cool. Will it take out a Honda crank bolt?

So what about noise, harshness, weight and balance?

That's cool. Ohio tools has them, at around $300. I would definitely want one, but I'll wait until there is a more proven track record.

I sold a few and all have been recalled. Seems they blow apart....or something. They are sending me new ones within 15days.

 

[Bran Diezel]

guess i'll wait a couple years then

This would match my IR titanium Impact well. Wish my craftsman air wrench would die already.

I got my 2015 monday

It will take off axle nuts

When you say axle nuts do you mean fwd axle nuts torqued to 200ft/lb or higher? I didn't think the rated torque was that high on them

 

[SLAUGHTERHAUS FAB]

Yep, DEFINITELY getting one of these, will be very handy for transmission jobs. I have an IR "Thundergun" in 1/2" drive that is roughly 10 years old, clean it onc in a while and it has whooped allot of other impacts, i'm sold on IR quality when it comes to air tools.

I tried one out over a weekend from one of my friends. It won't replace an Impact or air ratchet but for someone who does a lot of trans intalls and suspension work it's the ****. If you ddin't do alot of those things it may not be worth it. I changed out all the suspension on a 2008 Mustang and flew through the job with it. Nice tool

There are tools being called back and replaced due to a part interference that affects the trigger function on some tools.

I ment the axle nuts on front wheel drives.One guy tried it on an axle nut on a Chevy Tahoe and it took the axle nut off.It is not that heavy and not loud and never noticed any harshness.I am not sold on IR's air ratchets,a huge piece of junk.So far it has been the 1/4 drive air ratchets so far,good and then go wimpy.I know some else that bought an IR109XP,nothing but a piece of junk since day one and stays in his toolcart.
