Going to buy an MG 325 off the good old craigslist tomorrow. Looks to be in pretty damn good condition, grip dont look to worn much at all and the paint dont seem to chipped.
Dont have a 3/8 pnueamatic, for 165 I think its a good deal.
Any one have this gun.
thanks for the help.

I have it. It's a powerful 3/8" gun. $165 is a decent deal if it's in good shape.

I have it, and I had the MG31 before it. I like them and use it daily. The paint on the MG325 seems to be thicker and holds up to daily use better. The boots are also ultra cheap to replace. Its a good price, you'll be happy.

I have the mg325 and I like it! I think I paid like 200ish for mine but it was in mint condition. 165 is a good deal!

first 4 digits of the serial number tell Year then week of production, so 1236 would be 36 week of 2012, They have a 2 year warranty. Ive grabbed a few from pawn shops and ebay that are still "under warranty"

I would grab it at that price. The compact size of the gun is very important. It fits where the 725 doesn't.

The mg325 is awesome. I bought the ct8810 to replace it but the ct8810 just want strong or compact enough. I regretted getting the ct8810 so I traded it and my dealer hooked me up. Anyway the mg325 is awesome I love it. UV had mine for over a year I only tried to replace it because in on that whole cordless kick but somethings just aren't there yet.

I was stuck between a IR TMax 3/8 and possible an Air Cat, I just dont know how much ill actually use it. I think this gun will turn out to be a where have you been my whole life type of purchase.

The mg325 is very good for suspension work, brake work all around good gun. I world have probably kept the ct8810 if I did more interior work. But with what I do I couldn't kerp the ct8810. I was pulling out the ct8810 and quickly pulling out the mg325 to do jobs the ct8810 couldn't handle. Anyway if you aren't happy with your new purchase there is something wrong with the gun because mine is balls to the wall awesome. Heck its probably stronger than some of the peoples half inch impacts in here.

I've got the old MG-31 and I use it constantly, only occasionally needing to reach for the 1/2" gun. The one thing that would make it better is a bit more oomph so I have to reach for the 1/2" even less. I think that's $165 you'll be happy you spent. The only down side to a small impact is that you'll really start to feel like you're wasting time when you actually have to turn a ratchet!

here it is, works and is in pretty good condition, the grip isnt worn, doesnt really show that much use. I wish it was the lime green on though but for 165 I think i did good.

thats the sad part these guns cost $$ brand new but soon as you use them they only worth pennies.

It's even worse when you try to repair one. Snap On stopped selling some of the parts for this gun and the only way to fix it is to send the gun in (you pay for shipping) and pay a flat-rate of $100+. My MG325 needs to be fixed but it's just sitting in my toolbox right now. For the price, it's not worth fixing.
