Quality and very lightweight compact
Size: 1/2-Inch
Very lightweight and powerful. Great price. Buy it now definitely worth it.

Don't even hesitate, just buy it!
Size: 1/2-Inch
Not the strongest impact I own but by far my favorite! Left or right hand use, strength adjustment, all adjustments with a flock of the thumb! I've only had this for a short while so I can't speak to the longevity of it but it feels very well made, it's fairly quiet, very strong and feels great in your hand. I chose this one because of other people's reviews and so am glad I did! I will be buying more aircat products on the future for sure! ... show more

Nitrocat just hit the 1 click buy button trust me
Size: 1/2-Inch
It is awsome it is my daily gun I use it for removing tires calipers,crank bolts, subframe bolts, struts, exhaust anything that needs just a bit more power and it fits everywher!! I have been using this thing for 2 months now and no problem it has 3 speeds, it can also be used for right hand or left hand side all you do is switch the lever and it's ready you can order the matco gun cover and use it on this gun to protect it if you whant It fits perfect and dosent get in the way. I have a similar red truck gun and its not to good compared to this, i had that re built 2 times already and I had to pay 100 each time. with this, it has warranty and amazon protection for a other 4 years or so for 10 extra bucks I let other guys try it and now 3 other guys bought the same nitrocat. ****update 12/3/2019 apperantly I forgot to click on the box for the protection plan but I have used this gun every day I have worked and it's been a power house. I have done just about every thing with it suspension components to tires day in day out as my only gun. Today it finally gave out. Have to buy again this was worth the money ... show more

Semi Truck Go To
Size: 1/2-Inch
I mainly use this impact for semi truck work. I'm accustomed to using bigger impacts to break nuts loose on the frame and in the engine bay. As those bolts are usually tightend down pretty heavy, and years of road grime makes the task of loosening said bolts a disaster. This little thing has big power. And to top it all off, it's very compact. It was able to break every nut and bolt free as if it were one of the bigger torque impacts. It made working in the tight spots of the engine bay a breeze. It's definitely a game changer when I can fit an air tool in places where I normally need to ditch it, and grab a ratchet and extension. I.E. between the radiator and the engine, taking a fan hub off the front. If you're looking for quality that won't quit, you found it. ... show more

Perfect size and well built
Size: 3/8-Inch
This air impact fits in tight places and is easy to change direction. Has three levels of torque and is adjusted with your thumb. The tool is high quality, solid, heavy (but not overly so) and the craftsmanship is exquisite. This company obviously takes pride in the quality of their products, and I would purchase this brand again. I suspect that the claimed breakaway torque is a bit optimistic for my compressor setup (125 PSI), but is likely accurate if the PSI is tweaked. The hog ring on the 3/8 business end can be a pain, so I use 1/2 " sockets with an impact adapter and remove only the sockets. I recommend getting the 1/2 " variant of this gun because it will likely have better results with tough fasteners. It is available in 3/8" and 1/2" for the same price. The 3/8" I purchased was not able to break a Honda crank bolt, even with the use of the Lisle 19mm heavy socket that's made for Honda crank bolts. But it's worked on everything else I've thrown at it and I love the way it fits in my hand. Hopefully it will last for years. ... show more

Great tool for its size and price
Size: 1/2-Inch
The trigger is great for you to modulate throttle. The lever to switch from clockwise or counterclockwise can be removed and installed on the other side for lefties if that matters to you. The little wheel to change speed is great, it's easy to read and use. The gun is super compact which means I can easily fit behind and around say, some brake rotors at work to remove the bolts for the caliper mount. It isn't the most powerful gun in my shop, I have coworkers with really high torque guns, but for the price, and if you need something specifically for tight spots, I highly recommend this gun. (Though if you need something really compact I think ASTRO makes a subcompact that is pretty much as small as you'll get, and it packs a punch) Can't forget durability, I treat my tools great, I oil this gun and baby it. Even so, work is work and it's tough on the gun. I wailed on lug nuts you swear are welded for 10+ seconds relatively often with no issues. I've dropped it several times, I'm over 6 feet tall so it's a slightly larger drop than average, gun is still great. Also not a big point for me, but even so it didn't go unnoticed that this gun's ergonomics and comfortability is phenomenal. It has only failed to remove a lug nut 3 times and all three were faulty and 1 of those would never come out no matter how much torque you applied and needed a special solution. ... show more
