my w7150 has died 3x in a year and seems like its going again, first the trigger break shits the bed then it will randomly stop impacting or not turn on then eventually nothing, it feels like its gonna die again... efb16acrx: how do you like the 18v 3/8 matco vs. the 14.4? I had the 14.4 and it was pretty much worthless... how about that 3/8 Cornwell air gun I see you have though? that things a beast huh!
Buy it. If you are looking to replace the w7150 with something I'd get the 1/2 matco cordless too, I love mine so much I just bought a second one.
I always thought the 14.4 was a decent enough gun, until I got the 18v. The 14v is here at home now. I bought it to replace the old 14v one I had that took a swim in a bucket of atf and went to heaven ( I cleaned it by holding the trigger down and spraying brake cleaner in it until it worked again, it rewarded me by letting most of the magic smoke out), of course 2 weeks later they announced the 18v, oh well.
Its no bigger than the 14v, but its heavier because of the battery (duh), there is a hell of a difference in power, its definitely more than 50 ft/lbs more powerful, although I still think the 14v was overrated to begin with, same speed though. It has no issues zipping lugnuts off 3/4 tons. Nobody in the shop has an 8810 to compare it to though so I can't make that comparison.
One issue I've read on the matco site is people saying the 4ah battery won't charge on the old charger, that's a load of ****, it most certainly will. Battery life is pretty damn good with the 4ah battery too, and the battery is the same size and weight as the 3ah.
As for the cornwell impact, its a 1/2 inch, and yes, it is a beast. Decieving as quiet as it is. I've heard good things about the 3/8 brother, but since the cornwell guy pissed me off and I have the mg325 I won't bother.
I was in a rush to work but I have a pretty worn socket set I use with the air tool.
