My blue point is starting to shit the bed. Been looking at the Ingersoll 2235 but it's a little pricey. You guys ever try the aircat? Or any other suggestions?

For use in heavy duty applications, so itll be in harsh conditions once in a while.Thanks guys

Air cat has a lot of balls but the grip sucks and it's got some decent weight to it. Do any of the dealer trucks come by your shop? Check out matcos top of line, decent weight, price and lots of power.

Unfortunately no, mac has a store in town and I could always call the snap on truck but that half inch impact would turn into a $2000+ bill of useless shit I pick out hahaha.
I will check out matco for sure thank you

IR if it’s being used every day...

It’s a hefty investment, but you’ll never need a new impact gun.

Ingersoll rand make some pretty good one for half the price of a snap on

IR lifetime is about 1 year in my shop where the snap on can last me atleast 2-3

I don't remember which model I have but it's a quiet ti max? It's an IR and I've had it going on 6 years. Never even had to use a rebuild kit on it. We have multiple 1 inch IRs in my shop that we've had for over 10 years with no problems. Rebuild kits are cheap and easy to do.
