Sorry guys, but I was going to pop for the Dewalt but I purchased (2) Pep Boy specials at $79.00 ea. One for the track container and one for the garage. Just enough power to remove/install at the track or AutoX. Go figure.

Good info here. My HF batteries died after 3 years, and, of course, are not available any longer. Based on what I read here, just ordered an IR with the lithium battery.

Check ebay for Snap-On. I got mine new-in-box on Ebay for a good deal less than retail. Now that the new 18v Snap-On has been out for a while, should be lots of the previous generation selling cheap. Mine has to be 4-5 years old now and still going great. CT3850 is the part number you want to look for. Rated for only 250ft-lbs or so, instead of infinity like the new one, but still more than enough.

No experience with the other cordless impact wrenches but very happy with the IR W360 with lithium battery. Not too heavy relative to others. It has indicator lights on the battery telling you how much juice is left. Very nice.
BTW, don't get the IR W150 since it can't loosen the lug nuts (96ftlb) even though it's rated at 150ftlb.

I used a Harbor freight since 05 & it’s held up fine I did change out the brushes in the motor once the new Harbor freight model is worthless.
I just switched to a powertank CO2 set up after watching an off-road show & learning what those guys use during the Baja to change wheels & air up tires. It’s great I don’t need a generator & it’s very portable. It’s come in handy on the road to the track with trailer flats ect. Its way more portable than a big nitrogen tank in the trailer. I have a 10lb tank that lasts a whole weekend at the track & folks are always asking to borrow it.

Same here...had mine for over year now with zero issues. I torque with a wrench anyway so the gun works fine. Why spend more if you don't have to?
