Worth every pennyBefore Aircat, I used a 3/4” breaker bar with a 6’ pipe for additional leverage to remove harmonic balancer bolts on Cummins engines. The add to this aircat caught my attention with the claim ft lbs of torque. I am a firm believer of this 3/4” impact tool and it has removed every stubborn bolt I challenged it with. It’s a time saver, knuckle saver and bolt remover. Give it a try…. You’ll wish you had it in your tools months ago.

Light and powerful, coworkers love it.Made in Florida, power and lightness, better price than tool trucks. First air cat love it. Fits in hand perfect.

Very good gun for the price.Make sure all your screws stay tight and these are very good guns. I’ve had one rattle apart and break. And another one that snapped in the handle. The handle I was able to fix with a pipe fitting. They’re very good guns for the price but keep an eye on them for coming loose.

Absolutely amazing, best purchase I’ve made in the automotive fieldThis impact is the best one you can get for the price. I would have rated the durability five stars but the first day I had it, I had it sitting in the handle of my tech cart and it put pressure on the trigger the wrong way and it bent the pin, I took it apart and straightened out the pin with a hammer and I haven’t had a problem with it since, it’s been dropped and thrown across the shop a couple times, but there hasn’t been anything that I work on it hasn’t busted loose yet. It has scary amounts of torque. I’m not a heavy duty diesel mechanic but it has a perfect application for a small shop. When the big stuff comes in, you need a big gun, you need THIS big gun. Worth the money, worth the judgment from my coworkers, an absolute lifesaver. Stop looking elsewhere, buy this gun.

POWERFULI have been working field service for many years. My Ingersoll impact was giving out and instead of rebuilding, I decided to get a new gun. After over 2 weeks of research, I decided to give this AirCat a try. The specs are better than Ingersoll and the few “less than 5 star” reviews, to me sounded like people wanting the world handed to them on a silver platter.I coupled this gun with Flexzilla High Flow air quick connects ( you would not believe the difference using those fittings ).This gun blew me away – – the power it delivers is amazing.The feel of the gun in your hand is very comfortable. The overall cosmetic quality is just as good as an Ingersoll or a Chicago Pneumatic product.A colleague has a Snap-On impact – – – Check the stats…. This gun delivers higher torque and more hits per second than the comparable Snappy gun at about 1/3 the price.Highly recommend.

Powerful impact for the priceI’ve waited to give this review until I’ve been really able to use this thing in tough work environments. My background is working in earthmoving machines. My work environment requires tools to be repeatable in how they run and their output of power. This impact gun works very well with the proper amount of air. Make sure you air compressor is set to proper settings. This is a good impact for the money and hits hard. worth the buy.

Power and reliabilityI own a heavy equipment repair company and work in the shop my self. Over the last ten years I have gone through more than a few impacts as 3/4 goes I had mostly bought the higher end IR guns. 80% of the bolts I impact off are years old or even decades and rusted. This tool has blown me away. It out performs any IR wrench I have ever owned. It breaks off 1/2″ bolts and I use it to remove semi-trailer wheels that are often put on with 1″ impacts. I waited this long to review because I wanted to gauge the reliability. Next month marks a year and it hits hard as it did new and has not locked up once. My 1/2 compact impact from MAC started locking up today and I just replaced it with Aircat. Right before I types this.

Hits HardI made an adapter to hook to the smaller regulated shop air hoses and works good on those. However it is meant for the 1 inch air hose coming straight off the compressor and got to use that today. All I got to say is this hits harder than all the other 3/4 impacts in the shop. Will see how long it last. Im a heavy equipment mechanic and will use this gun for its intended purpose.

Inexpensive and worksDirt cheap compared to others and works awesome! Honda tech here and I use it strictly to take off the 19mm crankshaft pulley bolt. Does the job like a champ. Good on ya Aircat. The picture just compared to a 1/2” impact.
