Looking at picking up a new impact wrench. I'm at a toss up between two aircat models, the 1150 and the 1250. Anyone here have either of the two? Never been a big fan of IR's or CP's. I currently have a Nitrocat which is made by Aircat and I really like it, just need more nut than it's capable of.

What about a 3/4"? If you are only looking at pure ft-lbs, then its probably cheaper to go with a 3/4" than the highest capacity 1/2".
The 1150 is the one to buy for automotive work. It uses a double hammer, the 1250 uses a pin and clutch which is a PITA for anything but industrial uses on large diameter bolts.
I have the 1150 and it out powers my sorry old IR 2135TiMAX, the parts don't fall off either.
I agree i hate that friggin IR, its an overrated gutless wonder if there ever was one.

Tool itself is more compact and lighter, and I already have all the 1/2 sockets I need and don't want to buy 3/4 stuff.

AIRCAT 1300-TH conventional twin hammer or the IR 3/8 Hammerhead if your looking for a really useful angle impact tool.

CP7729 has decent power but i never owned one just used it. Seems decent enough though and its a twin hammer.
Well his snap on impacts are made by Chicago Pneumatic, can probably get the equivalent gun from CP for half the price of Snap On.
