I have the 30 gallon craftsman upright with the impact wrench, rotary wrench and hammer/chisel. It's a pretty good deal, but the impact wrench was kinda weak (230ish ft/lbs) for my tastes. I usually use my friends IR 500ft/lbs.

What do you plan on using it for?

That will do the job for the regular shade tree mechanic. I might be getting that this weekend too. For a gun Id opt for the IR titanium. Real light, strong, but expensive. :happysad:

some are louder then others. That one is around 97db, thats LOUD. The one I am going to get is only 80 or so but it cost triple the price of that one.

As for Impact gun, CP is always a decent choice.

i have the upright 16 gallon version of that compressor. works very nice, but yeah it's noisy as shit.

i went and bout an Ingersoll Rand 1/2" Titanium impact wrench. got it for <$200 on ebay last month. 1,000ft lbs of tq = awesome.
