Harbor Freight's New (this week) Right Angle Earthquake Impact

wow

HF at it again

When he did the new green full size which performed well I had high hopes for their whole line, but the last two mini's have not performed well at all. Disappointing really

It sure is when better tool from better companies actually cheaper too .
Amazes me how HF can actually source poor performance, poor warranty, poor support and at higher cost !
You could accept it if cost was 65-75 bucks but when overpriced with a shite 90 day warranty and piss poor future parts support it a bad joke .
Is a few good brands/manufacturers in Taiwan offering good air tools and innovation and pretty much same base design right angle and swivel design as Astro so why HF missing better innovation and performance I do not know, assume it internal issue as they make piss poor choices and miss easy improvements and gumption across many tool lines .

Well, I've got good news on the 1834, it will loosen crank bolts on Subarus, fellow tech used it on a timing belt job. I guess the only thing to look out for is the exhaust is on one side near the anvil, it can blow into your face if you're not paying attention. Otherwise no complaints on its power output.
