Just picked up this MAC 1/2" mini impact today. This thing is wild. I am blown away with how powerful it is. Brake caliper bolts on our trains are torqued to 450ft/lbs and it pops them right off no problem. This gun is TINY! Absolutely love it!

What is the torque rating on that bad boy, my MAC 1/2" impact is about 5 generations old I've been looking for a new one.

625 or 650 breakaway. Looks like an awesome little wrench. The size is great

I have one like that for portable use. Same build. Been clicking away for many many years. Wouldn't want to even guess how many running hours it has.

I've got the same one, or atleast an older version of it. Bought it used off the local classifieds for $100. Found out when I got home the tank was rusted out. Cut the mounting plate off and welded it to a 22 gallon tank a buddy gave me and remounted the husky motor and pump. Build date on the rusted out tank was 2001 I believe.

I've had it running non stop for literally hours sand blasting amd running orbital sanders. It keeps on pumping no questions asked. I use it more than my 60 gallon ingersoll rand because it's so much quieter. It pumps that 22 gallon tank to 140psi real quick. I love it.

But while we're on air compressors...here's my new ingersoll rand compressor. Very happy with it so far. Advertised at 14.1cfm, but actual calculations are coming in at right on 15cfm.

Upgraded boxes a few weeks ago. I've been pining for a white one for a while now, the right sale came along so I ordered one the way I wanted. It's beautiful!

I bought three of them so I always have at least one not getting fixed. They sure do work great when they work.

3/8 M18 stomps the sh*t out of my 3/8 snap on... I have been using it for 2 months and haven't swapped batteries yet. Only thing I don't like about it is it has a few more nooks and crannies to collect grease and grime, a bit harder to clean up... Oh, and it has a 2 year warranty.

Does it really? I love my 3/8 Snap-On. It's a little beast.

Which 3/8 snap on do you have?
