Review on Experience Unmatched Power With AIRCAT 1150 "Killer Torque" Composite Impact Wrench - 1295 Ft-Lbs by Jeff Callier

Revainrating 5 out of 5

absolute Beast of a tool

i bought this gun looking to replace my Harbor Freight impact cause it just didnt havde the power I needed as a professional automotive technician. I was constantly running into rusted bolts and lug nuts and couldnt get them to break free. I have Aircat 3/8 air ratchet and love it so I decided to look at the impact guns. Decided on the Aircat 1150 torque killer and let me just say I WAS NOT LET DOWN. The power this thing has is incredible and for the price its an absolute steal. I often find my self turning power down to first of three choices and even that first setting is strong. Only has 1 reverse speed but its more power than you need. It is a little bit heavy in the hand at about 4 lbs but not overwhelming to where its uncomfortable to use. The twin hammers give you that extra power to get seized and rusted bolts out easily. Does sometimes vibrate and bounce when something is really stuck and its hammering to break free but its nothing to where you would want to not use this gun. The grip material is extremely comfortable to hold on to and grip. Wish it came with a protective boot for the gun body but not a reason to overlook this hidden gem. It is extremely quiet when operating to where you hear spin of the anvil without going deaf. Overall I am more than happy with this purchase. Power is unbelievable, comfortable to hold on too weighing about 4 lbs, and the breakaway power matches that of snap-on, matco ,Ingersoll Rand or any of the big names. My boss who is all about Snap, has said he is going to get this gun himself after using mine. Can't get a more powerful, better quality, warrantied, quiet gun for 150.00. I HIGHLY RECOMME3ND THIS GUN, YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY
