Was deciding between a CP717 and the AT4980 and went with Astro because Astro is good to work with for warranty issues. Plus Chris of Astro Tools is a member here and is a joy to wok with.

The AP air hammer is on my wish list. That along with about 100 other tools.
Apparently they are basically identical. Actual CP717s are no longer made in Japan and come out of Taiwan too.
i must of been a lucky one then.. label on case said assembled in the USA but made in japan on my air hammer. bought it on amazon 2 weeks ago. old stock maybe
To my knowledge they are still making them in Japan as well, just depends on where they are being sold into but I know I've seen both Japan and Taiwan COO.
For this tool, warranty support wouldn't be the deciding factor for me because these just don't quit on you - either brand. Just buy the one that's the best deal including used.
