Are they more of a pain than what they're worth in a shop environment?

Pinned Impact Anvils

If it's more than $30 less than you'd pay for a friction ring moodel, buy it and put a replacement anvil in it with a friction ring.

Do you just have to use a pick to pop sockets on/off?
I can get a good deal just the pin concerned me.

I'm assuming this will work in the 2135PTi as well?

Yeah... It's more of a hassle than it sounds

I can believe it. Either way this would be better than my 2100G tho I'm assuming?

Only if you can change the anvil... Taking sockets off is a piece of cake. Putting them on though has been the cause of many stabbed fingers when the screwdriver of pick slips off. What's wrong with the 2100?
You can pin a very short extension on it. Then you only have to fight the pin in those few instances you need every inch of clearance, and you have the option to use the pin in circumstances you absolutely do not want the socket falling off.
I've got one, and I like it, but I had a special purpose for it.
I like compact 1/2" impacts. I only bust out the full size gear when the torque level requires it. I also hate doubling up on tools, but to a certain extent I have to because half my work is out of the service truck. To minimize tool doubling, but still have a compact impact in both work environments, I got the second one as a pinned 3/8 impact instead of a second compact 1/2" anvil. I keep a very short 3/8 to 1/2 adapter pinned on it, almost all the time. I presently have no need for for 3/8" impact sockets, but if that ever changes, I'm one anvil change away from having a 3/8" gun with a common anvil.
I like the pin for swivel sockets. I seem to have bad luck throwing those sockets off any gun that has a friction ring more than 2 months old. I always have a ball point pen in my shirt pocket, and it reaches the pin easily.

It's smaller and I'm tired of hammering on some stuff waiting for it to spin off.

I was thinking something like this. I'm only DIY so I suppose that'd be just fine.

It has worked well for me. I give up a little bit of it's ultimate torque capacity by using the short extension/adapter, but if I really needed the power, I'd be reaching for the big gun anyway.
I went the route I did just to try it out, it's the first pinned anvil I've had. Mine's a snap on gun, and the price of the tool was the same no matter what anvil. The price on replacment anvil's however, varied. It was cheaper to convert one way, than the other. I don't know about other guns, but if you buy one thinking there's the possibility you will want to convert it, you might check parts pricing first.

There's a link above, $30 to switch.

Also, remember the PTi is max nut bust 700. and the regular Ti is 1,000.
*I think those are the number...IIRC, I did not google, but it's somewhere in that area...

I bought a Milwaukee corded impact with a pin anvil for deckbuilding ten years ago or so. The pin is great for building, absolute socket retention. It's a real pain when you need to change the socket. If I'm using it for automotive, I put a short extension on it. The tool is huge so it doesn't really make a difference if the extension is there, never fits in compact spaces anyway. I don't really use it anymore because I have good air, but when I did use it I loved the pin for building and hated it for the shop.

I don't think it's the anvil that makes that difference, but comparing a Ti to a Ti max.

That would be ridiculous for me to think the anvil makes the difference. IDK why the different power ratings??? Even the new 2135PTiMax is only 780 NBT. (Nut Busting Torque)
2135PTi = 700 ft-lb NBT. http://www.drillspot.com/products/39809/Ingersoll-Rand_2135PTI_Pneumatic_Titanium_Impact_Wrench
2135Ti = 1,000 ft-lb NBT http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002SRM7E/?tag=atomicindus08-20
2135TiMax = 1,100 ft-lb NBT http://www.ingersollrandproducts.co...ve/2135timax-series/2135timax/modelspec/40366

I could see the usefulness

No, It's 700 vs 780 ft. lbs. not a huge difference.

700 = PTi
780 = PTiMax
1000 = Ti
1100 = TiMax
Just a huge difference from the "P" models to the non P models....but IDK why????
