    3/4” drive impact decision making

    Thanks for y’all’s time and input! I usually don’t buy used pneumatic tools, but I got a 2145 with some scratches/ minor scrapes. It came with a standard air fitting that I’ll be replacing with a high flow fitting. I almost picked up a used Proto J175, I’ve heard others that were happy with that...

    3/4” drive impact decision making

    Hello all, I will be going back to spinning wrenches for my full-time job in a month. I have 95% of all the tools I need except for three-quarter inch drive gun/sockets etc. I will be working on agg equipment tractors/dozers etc. I would love nothing more than buying an impact made here in the...

    Do you go with what you like or what works?

    Traded the 8850 for a new 2767 & 2 used xc 5.0 batteries with 2 years warranty left. There is no doubt the gun is ridiculous, it will break things. It does have a horrible delay (spoolup if you will) that the mid torque does not.

    I split a kubota m4900 tonight using (almost) only my 2861 mid torque. Only time i didn't use it was when I needed wrench or socket for tighter access. Broke everything loose

    Both very true, thanks y'all. I may just **** it up and get the Milwaukee and keep the snapon too

    I think I'll be trading for a 2767 by Tuesday unless someone thinks I should keep the 8850

    Do you go with what you like or what works?

    I got a lightly used SO ct8850 w/ 2 batts and a charger for $250 the other day. I bought it knowing good and well that they are heavy for the power and unreliable, all because I just like it. I couldn't tell you what I like about it, I just enjoy it. My current battery tool lineup consists of...

    MAC brushless 20V impact (MCF891) same as DeWalt?

    Does the MCF891 seem to be a good gun still? To anyone who has/ had it, what do you think of it compared to other current 3/8 battery impacts?

    MG1200 vs awp075 vs IR2145

    4x4 I have noticed the featherability issue you speak of with my 725 as well. I got it used 6 months ago for $100 from my cornwell guy and so far its been trouble free. I've wondered if a percentage of the problems with the snapon guns stems from many not getting oiled due to confusion with...

    MG1200 vs awp075 vs IR2145

    Thanks for the input y'all. CRF, I've been looking for power comparisons between the mac/proto 3/4 gun and the 2145. What is your experience between the proto and the IR for max power? I figured the 1250 would be meh compared to the other two, I just wasn't sure if getting it new for $450...

    MG1200 vs awp075 vs IR2145

    If I have an opportunity to get the mg1250 for $450 new, should I go for it or just go with a 2145 for similar price?

    MG1200 vs awp075 vs IR2145

    I have the 725 as well as the awp050. It seems to me like the hammers hit harder in the awp, while the 725 feels more muted. Though it must not matter much how the hammers feel to me, because both guns are real close to tied for actual power. The other reviews of the awp075 I've read seem like...

    MG1200 vs awp075 vs IR2145

    Hey all. I'm looking for opinions on the current 3/4" guns out there. Is the mg1200 hit and miss reliability like its smaller brethren? How does power to the other 3/4" guns compare? I have an awp050 and love the thing. Seems like other than handles breaking here and there they seem to hold up...

    MAC's new AWP050 1/2" Impact

    That's good to hear. We split the difference, he gave $200 for the sockets and I gave $200 for the gun. With the awp being so quiet, would much of a gain be seen from taking out the muffling media? How do you get to it to take it out?
