Stopped at the pawn shop today that I frequent regullary to buy a used impact, and found a IR #2132G with no price tag. I asked the guy who owned the store how much he wanted and he said that it was the better of the bunch and said I would say 80-100 so I can let it go for $40. I paid for it right away and took it back to the shop and tested it out. This is the quietest impact I have ever used, the lugs coming off during a tire rotation make more noise then the gun, definetly checking for more steals next week.(Will post pics later)

wow. that seem good deal... keep us update about it. i can tell if the air tools are bad or are too way worn out as i always must ask pawn store to let me to do air tools test before i make a decide. my local pawn store let me to do tests it in store while they had air compressor inside...

My pawn shop will give me 24 hours warranty on the air tools; that way I can take it to my brothers shop and check it out. Watch out on air tools, because many times techs will dump their tools that need a rebuild there; I have gotten a number of these but I got them so cheap, I just sent them out for a rebuild.

Sounds like the deal I got yesterday. I found a set of 3/8 drive universal sockets that Consisted of mostly S-K with a wright, a proto and a Armstrong socket in an old SK metal box for $8. I also picked up a short 3/8" SK extension and a Klein big flat blade screwdriver for another $1.
yeah the guy is cool, he sold me a 3/8 and 1/4 astro pneumatic air ratchet set for 60, he had it marked for 100. I figure he is trying to unload some tools because there isnt a big market around me for second hand tools

Pawn shops have been one of the main sources of used professional grade tools for me; I have gotten most all of my air tools (mostly Snap-On) for less then $50 apiece! My latest deal was a Snap-on air ratchet 1/4 drive #FAR25A for $20 (head starting to slip a bit, probably needs a rebuild but works!) and a Snap-On air drill 1/2" CHUCK PDR5A for $30! Many people don't like the Snap-On air tools but I happen to think their air drills are some of the best I have ever used; I have the PDR3A and the PDR5A. With air tools this cheap, I cannot "not" buy these!
One local pawn shop I haven't been able visit yet is right next door to a bail bondsman. My guess is that they share a lot of the same clients.
So far none of the pawn shops have had diddly though. Everything good goes right on ebay.
