I have used this with a small compressor to break lug nuts on mud-encrusted kart wheels and to drive large lag screws without bogging down. I am pleased and it goes with me to the cabin.

I purchased this impact wrench in November of 2007 based on my experience with Porter Cable woodworking tools. This was a mistake. The PC impact wrench lasted me a year and half. At first the impact mechanism intermittently wouldn't activate when the wrench encountered torsional resistance, and would just sit there and hiss air. Then this past fall when I had to install my snow tires, the wrench's impact mechanism flat out refused to operate. Fortunately I still had my backup X-wrench and used that instead. I purchased the Ingersoll Rand 231C instead, based on the broad quantity of positive feedback from other purchasers. The 231C is MUCH heavier than the PC impact wrench, and is a 1/2" drive unit. However if it operates much more reliably than the Porter Cable, then my needs will be met. The 231C is a LOT louder, but it got the job done quickly, and was as controllable as the Porter Cable.
