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.
nice item...adjustability helps. Not for heavy duty use but does what I eed it for. appears to be well made. Too a couple of trigger puls to get it going initlally but wokrs first time every time now
Impact wrench works great but I have two issues. First of all, the connector should be 1/4" NPT not 3/8". Secondly, it's harder than it should be to find the notch that the dial should be turned to in order to set the maximum torque. Having said that, this is a very good product and I would recommend it's purchase.It's hard to find impact wrenches like this one that can actually be used to tighten without the risk of applying too much torque. Most other wrenches that have torque limiting features don't specify what the maximum torque is at each setting. Without this information, you really have no idea how much torque your applying and the adjustment feature loses its value.
Porter Cable's 3/8-Inch Impact Wrench is a powerful pneumatic tool that delivers 125 ft./lbs. of torque at 90 PSI. This heavy-duty wrench features a variable speed trigger with one-touch reverse switch for fast and simple selection of speed and direction.
