Question Ingersoll-Rand Air Tools any good?

After my last experience with craftsman, I am never buying another one of their air tools again. Is Ingersoll-Rand good, if not, who is?

BTW, my bad experience was a cut-off tool that didn't last one job. However, I was able to return it for a full refund.

We have some of those at my work. They seem to hold up for the most part and we neglected the heck out of them. Like, they haven't been oiled the two years I've been their.

I've had good luck with Ingersoll air tools. They seem to have more torque than the CPs .

I have gradually been replacing all my air tools with IR products. Keep them clean and oiled and they will serve you well for a long time.

CP is IR... just a bit cheaper.
