RE: Any experience with electric impact guns?

[Anthony Pelletier <vwnuts@yahoo.com>]

BUY THE CRAFTSMAN(which is made by ingersol rand) one
for $180 or an ingersol rand.  I have that one and it
works awesome.  Its lightweight & had 600 ft/lbs in
reverse.  What it won't unbolt, it'll break.  My
friend who works at the stealer recomended it to me,
and said its probably the most powerful air gun at the
shop.  Worth every penny....
