W5132-Boot (Ingersoll Rand)

[SuzukiGS750EZ]

So I just got a W5132 for Christmas and ended up having to buy a 5.0 battery ($110 new) and wanted to buy a boot too, as I did with my W7150. To buy directly from ingersoll is $24 but has a minimum order of $50 before they'll sell and ship to me. Fastenal and grainger can't get it and IR sales doesn't know when it will be sold to the public. Any ideas on what to do? Anything I can add to get to $50 that's useful to an automotive technician? Anybody have any "ins" at IR that can pull some strings?

Make the second boot the one for the next tool you plan on getting.

Honestly, I haven't even been able to use it. I got it for Christmas and 10 days before that I head ACL surgery so I've been down for the count. Ergonomics wise it's awesome. The light and the option to turn it off is great and the torque control on the back is great too. The battery balances the tool out in your hand as well. As far as use on a car, I can't comment.

Well, battery will be here middle of next week and the boot will be here hopefully by the end of next week. I have a feeling this fun is going to get used a ton. The reason I originally got the Milwaukee over the first 3/8 IR is because of brushless, I had the battery line and the torque control. I had the IR battery line as well but the original gun was brushed and no control other than the trigger. I think this gun bests the Milwaukee and I was able to gift that Milwaukee to my brother who is starting out in the tool world. Win win

Where did you end up getting your boot from? Directly from IR or ??

Thanks! I've been wanting a boot, but haven't found a retailer that has them yet. I'll contact IR directly then. I appreciate the info!
