I am looking for a good 3/8" drive impact wrench and am looking between the Nitrocat 1355XL and the IR 2115ti. I was wondering what the size difference is between the two, I need something for tight spaces but with enough torque to get bellhousing bolts out. I am currently using Nitrocat 1000TC and love it, but not sure if the 1355xl is as compact as the IR.

I also have the 1000TC and 1355XL if you want I can get a pic for you, it alot smaller than the 1/2" gun I think you will love the difference with either brand.

That would be awesome if you get snap a picture of the 1355XL and 1000TC. How do you like the 1355XL?

I just received mine and not have a chance to use the 1355-XL yet, but it is quite a bit lighter and easier to handle than the 1/2" version, if I can only have one, the 3/8" would do everything I need... even the lug nuts on the car.

There is some bad rep on the nitrocats lately how they are not holding up for shop use, but the Ti gun cost about $100 more and for home user it's was not a tough decision for me.

Now that I looked at mine TNToy's picture is the 1000TC and 2135TI..
He had said something about he preferred 2115TI over the 3/8" aircat product, slightly smaller or something like that? Maybe he will chime in

Well i pulled the trigger and bought the 1355xl. I figured if its not as good as i thought i didn't waste a huge amount of money, and it will be more than enough for home use.

You will regret not buying the IR
