    • Better than matco
Style: Standard Anvil
The gun is very ergonomic and it’s easy to put it from forward and reverse as well as it’s very quiet and light weight and small but very powerful definitely recommend for the price. I use it everyday and never have a problem taking off lugs it’s so good that people who own Matco air guns often ask to borrow mine. ... show more

    • The bar has been raised by Aircat
Style: Standard Anvil
Love love love Aircat products. I am a professional auto tech and use this gun daily. It is amazingly quiet and deceptively powerful. The antivibration makes it seem like it is not as strong as some guns like the IR Titanium series, but make no mistake, it will do anything that IR will do and more. It also has one of the best triggers I have ever used. I am able to feather the plastic GM lug covers on without stripping them, yet has more than enough power to bust rusty chassis bolts free in an instant. Can't say enough good about Aircat. I own several of their tools and use them in a professional environment, they are tough and reliable. This gun is so smooth and strong that I can't even articulate what Alice tool it is. ... show more

    • Quiet, Light, and Powerful
Style: Standard Anvil
Bought this impact gun after only Being out for a few weeks. Have owned previous AIRCAT impacts and Matco as well as Milwaukee 1/2in cordless and a few others and this impact gun is awesome. It’s shorter in length a little longer then most stubby impact guns but is quieter and offers 1300ft lbs of breakaway torque. I’m a ford tech and work on everything from small cars to the larger trucks and buses and this gun has no issues with anything I’ve thrown at it so far. ... show more

    • Big name power without bug name price.
Style: Standard Anvil
Being in any wrenching related job it seems everyone has either the cheapest of the cheap impact (harbour freight, lowes, home depot) or the absolutely most expensive impact (snapon, mac, Marco, cornwell) but no one ever has the middle man or the under dog and that's where this impact lies at. I had the nitrocat 1250k before this one and loved it for 7 years till the anvil snapped so I ordered this one. For the price you are getting an absolutely great gun, the grip is extremely ergonomic in the hand and she kicks like a mule without the sound of a small block chevy with open headers. The only downfall I see with this gun that may become a future issue is the direction/speed selector switch is a bit cheesy and flimsy but for the most part I can not complain. ... show more

    • Powerful. Durable. Great Price!
Style: Standard Anvil
Love this gun.. Great bang for your buck.. My only complaint is that the Forward and Reverse switch gets in the way of your thumb, especially if you’re a righty.. You might find yourself flipping the switch by accident a bunch of times. I feel as though Air Cat should have made the switch a little more discrete like their 3/8” model. Other than that, great fun. Definitely recommend ... show more

    • Best one I have ever used
Style: 2-Inch Extended Anvil
Torque is excellent, have used at a tire a tire shop for 1 year so far and still runs great. I can take semi lug nuts off about 90% of the time. Light weight especially with strength it provides. Very easy to use.

    • I like it.
Style: Standard Anvil
The media could not be loaded. This air impact is rated 1300 ft lbs. I'm not sure if it really produce that much torque or not, but definitely more than enough for automotive repair use. It's very light which is very beneficial if you use it for long period of time. It is very simple, just reverse and forward. The trigger is a little firm, this may be a downside for some people. I'm just used to it now. It's relatively small for this much torque impact gun. ... show more
