I happy as a pig in shit! I was BORN to have air tools danmit! Well I broke down an bought my Christmas gift early. I got a 6 HP, 30 Gal Craftman compressor, a IR DA and a impact wrench. Already rotated the tires and buffed the hood.

Cool, Air tools will be one of my first investments after I buy a house, they're great, I use them at the auto skills center on base all the time ... wait 'till you do some exhaust work and find out how mush ass the air chisel kicks :) ...... If I bring my car over will you rotate my tires too big boy? :)

Air tools kick ass.... Heeheheehe.. LOL! I've got a pretty complete set of them myself since up till a month ago I worked on cars for a living:) They make life SO much easier!

Anybody reading this, do yourself a favor and buy the good stuff when you get them! They last longer and work better.

My Ingersol Rand 1/2" impact has got more torque that most cheap companies' 3/4" drive guns! And my air ratchet is reactionless, no busted knuckles!!! GAWD I love that:D:D:D!

It's definately worth the extra money, trust me!

I dont have a ratchet yet. I am a tight ass but like good tools. I was leaning toward a craftsman but IR makes good stuff. How much should I spend?

You can get a good quality one like a better Craftsman model for about $100 or a little more. Mine was $225 when it first came out, but that reactionless feature made it the Rolls Royce of impacts for a while:)

Yeah, I got the kit of tools from Home Depot. That air chisel does kick ass.
I only wish I had bought a bigger air compressor and tank.

Running the sandblaster, it cant keep up. When nuts are on tight it wont turn them.
I got my eye on one with a monster sized tank and traditional motor, Not the oil free ones.
