3/8 Butterfly Impact?

[karoc]

Guys these impacts are all over in price range and I am sure in quality.I know that HF has them 20.00 but it seems like everything I get from them that requires air leaks.I.m not going to spend 150.00 for one neither but I would like to come close getting my moneys worth, and not draining the compressor each time I pull the trigger.Guys what butterfly do you have that you like,or which one should you have purchase and is there any regrets?I'm in market for one for that once in while use that don't leak so much after a yrs use?

I have an Astro, and I don't think I've used it once in the last 5+ years. Now, my Milwaukee 12v 1/4 & 3/8" battery powered ratchets get used all the time...

At this point there are stubbies that are more compact, powerful and cheaper like the Astro nano

Other tools as others have mentioned, but to see if you like the basic idea, why spend more than HF?

I use my butterfly impact a lot. It works best when removing a rusted fastener and youneed to run the fasener back and forth
Other times the butterfly fits into tight spaces where a regular impact will not fit

I never heard of one of those before now. I just googled it. They look weird.
