1/2 air powered impact wrench

[Too Many Projects]

Lynn, I'm with ya and have used air tools for over 50 years, BUT I now have a Milwaukee 1/2" 18 volt brushless impact and haven't pulled my Ingersol Rand air gun out of the drawer for over a year. This is THE best upgrade in a tool I have done. I've since bought their 3/8 gun, speed ratchet and 1/2" capacity drill too. I still use air for many things, but not for basic wrenching anymore. These tools are far more powerful than my old air tools and no compressor running. Consider it... Otherwise, I would look into another Ingersol impact for air. Yes, they are spendy, but quality still counts for strength and dependability.

What Mitch said. Bought same tools Mitch listed. Don't really use air tools anymore.

I guess I don't peek out from under my rock often enough, I didn't know IR made that small of impact!

Lots of good input here, I admit that I do use a battery driver for some small stuff, but battery weight can be annoying too.
