If you're getting one for lugs and such, you can buy the Ingersal Rand 3/8" titanium pneumatic gun. I got mine almost a year ago and I LOVE IT! I use it all the time especially for loosening lugs at work. 280 ft/lbs of reverse torque. I paid 300 for it back then. Also it won't use as much air as a 1/2" gun. I personally don't really like the electric guns as they're not as reliable, but you won't be using it everyday so you might benefit from it. I would recommend Ingersal Rand for any pneumatic equipment as they're the most reliable. I would stay away from any Snap-On air guns, they're absolute crap.

 

so IR is the way to go.

i'm trying to decide between:
a) http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/shop/IR-2115TIKB.html


and

b) http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/shop...35TIMAXKL.html

what joo think?

 

Second one has "MAX" in the part number. That's a deal maker fo sho.

 

I was thinking the same... except my compressor is a tiny little bish :rofl:

 

For the type of work you'd be doing, the MAX would be a little overkill. Try to find the normal Ti 1/2" gun if you go 1/2".

 

my air compressor only delivers 7.8 SCFM @ 40psi and 6.0 SCFM @ 90psi.

not sure if that's enough to run that 1/2 IR

looks like the price difference is about $20 but i'm more worried about the compressor now. what joo think?

 

Yup, that's why I'd go with the 3/8" Ti. I'm biased though because I have such a strong love for that gun. If you're dealing with over torqued lugs or suspension bolts, that gun might have a problem busting the suckers loose.

 

for a difference in price of about almost 30 dollars id go with the 1/2

 

okay one more for comparison.
SK hand tools

I like their hand tools but are their air tools any good?

no worries about my tiny compressor with the 1/2"?
