Save your money!!!, April 28, 2009
By Duston from Dallas TX

"Its probably wise just to let this product to continue to sit on the shelf. Its a one time use throw away tool.
It worked good when I replaced a head gasket on a honda.I oiled it and put it away. The next time I used it it was just dead it blew air straight through it would spin but not impact.
Not questioning the "Craftsman Reliability", I replaced my small central pneumatic air compressor with a 5hp mac tools compressor to no avail. I got stuck using my Snap-On 3/4 drive to finish the job this tool wouldn't even start.My only suggestion for this tool would be if you have a child that wants to have tools like daddy. Any more use than that and you need a better quality tool.

"gave it one more try like i said i would. lasted 20 minutes. doing a tranny on a ihc . gun didn't have enough power to remove drive shaft u-joint straps. broke free with 3/8 wrench then used gun to finish. gun removed 3 of them. on the fourth bolt the gun was all done. very very poor tool. returned again last night and got my money back."

This one is for starters not PROS., December 28, 2008
By JDMTech from Houston, Texas

"I purchased this gun to start off with, this was my first choice. It put out about two months of work before it actually started giving up. You really get what you pay for, but I am glad that it comes with a ONE YEAR IN STORE FREE REPLACEMENT WARRANTY."

DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, June 20, 2008
By Century from Raleigh NC

"I would not waste your hard earned money on this tool. I purchased mine and before the 60 day in store warrenty was up I had to replace it. Thankfully I purchased the 2 year warrenty becasue it has been 30 days since my return and I have to return it again. The bad part is everytime you return a product like this you have to purchase the extended warrenty everytime you return it. At this rate I could have purchased a Snap-On impact wrench and saved money and hassle. DO NOT make the same mistake I did."

Outstanding Control, size, weight, March 22, 2008
By mrbios from San Diego, CA

"PROS: it is very light and controlable. The reverese is fully variable and at any power level the trigger is also variable as opposed to many air impact wrenches which are either on or off there is no control at the trigger. An example is a gas pump - the more you squeeze the rigger the faster the gas flows.

CONS: to get the full power you need 125-135+ psi (like most air tools, it is not as strong as 1/2.

"I just started as entry level auto tech. I purchased this impact for the price but I got alot of power to go along with it. Other guys in the shop have spent 2 to 3 times what I paid on thier impacts and mine does the same job but with a smaller price tag. It's well worth it!"
