I just became a tech at Midas so now I need to buy a decent impact wrench. I've narrowed it down to 3 and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with any of them and would mind giving an opinion as to which one I should get.

Go with the "Thunder Gun", Option 2. it looks cool, and 625 ft-lbs of torque, DAMN

There is only one choice in impact guns, they are reliable, ultra powerful, (1000ftlbs for seven seconds) super light (.9 of a pound less than the composite guns) and you will only be pissed off when you pay for it. Search on line for the best deals. Ingersoll Rand 2135TI.

I purchased 2 of the Craftsman composite impacts in 1/2". It is capable of 600 ft lbs in reverse and 450 ft lbs forward. they are priced around $180. Ingersoll has thier name on the same exact one but they charge $10 more. go figure?? I have ran one of them for 1.5 years everyday now and I recently took it apart and saw no visual wear. I would by another.

#3 91538 is the one I am thinking about. It is lighter and smaller than #2 which was the big consideration for me because I was using it in tight spaces. every 1/4" mattered. I even went as far as machining my socket heigth down to the bare min for it to grab the bolt head. Good luck in your purchase.

I don't have a ton of money to throw at this right now but I do need something that will stand up for a while so the IR2135TI is probably going to be out of the question since I doubt I'll ever need 1000 ft-lbs of torue althought it'd be nice to have.

Speedracing 944 where did you see size specs for #2? I see that it is a bit lighter but I didn't see any difference in length.
