IR vs. Snap-On Cordless Impact

[wafrederick1]

I will never buy buy an IR air ratchet,junk!THE IR 109XP is a piece of junk.I only trust Snap On's 3/8" drive air ratchets which will take your hand off if not careful and more powerful.Plus they are rebuildable getting them back in a couple weeks just like new.Have a couple 1/4" IR air ratchets that stay in the toolbox,were good and gone wimpy losing power right away.IR makes the best impact wrenches.

All air ratchets are rebuildable.

I don't like Snap On's rebuild program because you have to send it to them and pay 120 bucks. I can get parts from IR and fix my own stuff. Which, so far, has just been the little rings on the end of the square drive.

IR sells tune-up kits at a reasonable price. If you can fix a car you can fix an air tool.

My father's friend Rich has an IR109xp and has been a piece of junk since day and it stays in the toolbox.My father has one too at home and is not impressed with it at all.His bluepoint out performs it.I paid $87.50 for having my FAR72B rebuilt.
