2235 is stronger

2135 is lighter.

I have a 2135, when it needs to be replaced I'll buy another 2135
it's plenty strong, and .65lb lighter.

2235 also has a slightly larger dimension, in basically all planes.

Torque makes up for it though. Rarely does it not remove a fastener.

I myself can't say anything about the 2235 but I'm sure it's great. I have the 2135 and I don't have a single regret about it. I sold my SO mg725 and bought the IR2135 and haven't looked back. It just feels natural in your hand and bust just about everything loose in its path

Either gun your not gonna go wrong with. Just up to you when it comes to price and weight

You can't go wrong with any IR air tools
"Hi I'm Finky and IR have a problem"
I like my 2135 it has been my workhorse but I can say since I bought the 2115ti it's big brother sees a lot less use. Regardless of that I would like finish out the collection with a 2235, 2145 and 1207 D3

They are Known as
(Campbell hausfield 3/8 t-style) / (Milton P-style)
They are also called 3/8 automotive couplers and when used on 1/2" line they produce little to no restriction compared to there 1/4" counter part

The 3/8 Milton P-style fitting are rated for 68cfm vs 40cfm for most standard 1/4 couplers not including the high flow v-style

I've got the 2131 & it's not quite as powerful but anything it can't break loose is more than likely gonna snap off before it comes off. I do like that initial kick of my coworker's 2235 but I think a lighter gun fatigues you less if you use it all day

I'd love to have a 2235 one day if I don't ever use a 3/4" gun again. It's heavy, but nothing compared to some of the older 1/2" guns with metal housing.

"Real Men"prefer the ir231 or mg725 so that when the garage fan is going it doesn't get
blown all over the place. Why use a 1/2" when people are watching..get out the 3/4"
Show those biceps.

Ir 2135 is extinct. 2235 is now "It" watch for rebranded 2135 and post here.
Parts will dry up.
People may die..
Who knows?

Don't mean to bring a thread back from the dead but I've searched to no avail and I see it was touched on in this thread. What exactly are the interchangeable internals on the 2135 and the 2235. I have both and my 2135 rebranded mt1769 needs a rebuild. my work gets a discount on ir rebuild kits but they no longer offer 2135 kits. Bearings, vains, o rings, etc I presume are still interchangable?

The motor and mechanism are different sizes in these tools, so hammers, anvil, frame, vanes, rotor, cylinder, endplate are all different. The back bearing may be the same but rarely ever needs to be replaced. 2135 kits will be available for a long time, also the 2135QXPA is still sold which is basically a 2135QTIMAX with an aluminum front end rather than titanium. That being said the MT2769 is a beast and is lighter than the 2235 so it is worth a look.

I mainly got the 2235 for parts availability and to be honest looks damn cool haha. Coworker had gotten the 2769 a few days before I got my ir. Decided to do a side by side and they're pretty evenly matched however my ir was a bit stronger at least in the "test" we did taking off some semi truck lug nuts torqued to 550ftlbs

You need kit IR2135-TK2.

Direct crossover between the Matco and 2135, and parts and breakdown are available on PTR Ohio.

2235 is a different animal altogether.
