Nice wrench, but not built in the USA as I expected
I received this wrench as a gift and was initially skeptical that I'd be able to use it with my small air compressor (a Hitachi EC12 rated at 4.2cfm@90psi).While I wouldn't recommend this combination for an auto shop, I've found that for occasional use around the house, it works great.I've used it for removing things like lawnmower blade bolts, frozen nuts from plumbing fixtures, lug nuts, etc. with no problems at all.I was a little disappointed, however, to see that the wrench was made in China.I figured with a brand like Ingersoll-Rand it'd be a pretty safe bet that I'd be getting a US-made tool, but that was not the case.If I had bought the tool myself I would probably have bought a different brand for this reason alone.However, the tool works well and the build quality seems good, so I can't really complain.

More than enough power for home use
After acquiring a small pancake compressor, I decided it was time to get an impact wrench. I bought one of the cheap, Chinese made "250 ft/lb" impact wrenches from a traveling tool show. What a mistake. It could not loosen hand-tightened lug nuts. I then happened on a well used 231 at a pawn shop. It has never failed to loosen whatever I have put it on. This includes lug nuts, an axle nut, rusted nuts and bolts, and an anti-corrosion anode on a 15 year old water heater. This tool works wonders on fasteners which would drive a sane person mad if he tried to loosen them with hand wrenches or a ratchet. I would like to get a IR2131, but the old 231 won't let me justify replacing it.

14 years and still kicking!
This is the ONLY 1/2" impact wrench I would ever recommend.It's relatively lightweight.The knurled knob allows you to change the impact force and direction, even with very greasy hands.
I used this for 5 years when I turned wrench, and gave it a good workout.I have dropped it, kicked it, forgotten it in the rain (once), and it keeps working.The only thing I was always sure to do was keep it well oiled and cleaned at the beginning and end of each day.At the end of the 5-year period turning wrench, I bought the rebuild kit (another nice feature, available in the 90's for about {$$$}), which restored all of its original power.
Also, check out the I.R. impact sockets.Value priced at less than ($$$) for the deep socket set, and I have never broken one.Fine tools at reasonable prices! ... Read more

The best comes at a premium price.
I bought three 3/8" air rachets to try them side-by-side:
Ingersoll Rand IR111
Husky H4003
Campbell Hausfelt TL1001

Ingersoll Rand - The quietest of the group by a fair margin.Its motor is apparently different than the others so the high pitched whine isabsent.The reactionless feature is apparent because it changes to a hammer mode (although it is still low torque) when the torque becomes too high. Most expensive. Made in Japan.

Husky - Typical air tool whine.When the nut runs up, the wrench just stops, no impact.Realistically, I can't see this torque being enough to smash any fingers.It has a nice rubber handle grip that the others lack.Half the cost of the Ingersoll Rand. Made in Taiwan.

Campbell Hausfelt - No rubber handle and slight styling differences, but operation is identical to Husky.Half the cost of the Husky. Made in Taiwan.

Conclusion:My logical side says to keep the Campbell Hausfelt because it the best value.The tool collector in me that drools over exotic tools wants to keep the Ingersoll Rand because it is the best tool, even if the difference is awfully small for four times the cost. I'm talking myself into keeping the IR because of the lower noise, but I still wonder whether my choice is discriminating or just dumb.

Cool toy for the right applications.
After sitting in my tool box for about a year, I finally got a chance to use this air ratchet.I was assembling a dust collector and had to tighten many bolts while holding the nuts on the other side from spinning.Air ratchet performed well, especially since I using it blind on the inside of the DC.Would have been very tedious with a manual ratchet.

Originally I had bought it because I thought I could use with a hex bit adapter and screw driver bit as a right angle drill / driver.However, I soon realized the ratcheting action really wouldn't work for this purpose.Too much vibration and the bit tended to skip off the screw.

Not sure if I can really notice the "reactionless" feature.Haven't had the opportunity to bust my knuckles using other models to know if the IR-111 is any better.

One disapppointing feature is the lack of torque.This air ratchet really isn't capable of removing stubborn fasteners.I guess 50 foot-lbs really isn't that much.I don't have any sure way to tell if my ratchet is performing up to spec.But I have had to resort to my trusty 3/8" Craftsman ratchet to remove tough nuts/bolts.This tool is probably better for tightening fasteners, since there is usaually little resistance and the limited torque will prevent stipping the [threads].

An end to knuckle busting air ratchets
They are reactionless so when so when they finish taking up they don'tbash your knuckles against whatever is next to the wrench. It screws downthe nuts and bolts twice as fast as the old model IR 107's that I wasusing.Clean lines and black finish, adds a colorful touch to the air toolline-up in your tool box.All in all I would rate it as a superb additionto any professional mechanic's toolbox. ...

Weak but durable
This was my first air angle grinder and it has worked very well for me for many years.I have alway thought that it lacked power though, recently I got one of the new 3102 grinders.Tons better, more power, and the ball bearing design really helps it run fast and smooth, even under quite a load.I would recomend any one to look at IR's heavy duty and super duty models before buying any air tools.You just get more power for you money.

90' Angle Hi-speed Grinder

Solid, useful - You know you want it (but do you need it?)
This tool is well-built and solid, and I have had no maintenance problems with it.(Make sure to use an in-line oiler and always shoot some air tool oil through it each time you put it away).

The drawback of the tool,however, is that it is so solid -- it is unavoidably heavier and largerthan a conventional ratchet, and the airline hanging off then end can beungainly.I have found that it is only useful in cases where I have freeaccess to a large number of bolts which need to be removed or assembled(for engine work, it is indispensable).For bolts with limited clearance,however, you will find that a hand ratchet is *cough* handier (and in caseswhere you need a U-joint and extensions, fuggedaboudit).

I'm a shadetreemechanic -- not a professional -- but I use the air ratchet several times aweekend.I bought this tool to help with the frame-off rebuild of my car,a task which requires no end of threaded fasteners.Even still, I wouldn'tsay that an air ratchet was essential.There are tasks which haveundeniably been speeded up -- running all the head bolts down beforetorquing, for use with a deep socket on bolts with a large exposed thread,etc.However, for most day-to-day tasks, I tend to use my trusty craftsmanratchet.

It's a great labor saver -- and a fun, useful tool that willmake all your friends green with envy.As long as you realize it's notgoing to put the car together for you, there will be plenty of times whereyou'll be glad you got it. ... Read more

Excellent D/A
I bought this sander about a month ago and I am very satisfied with it. It is built very well. I do recommend that you have a compressor with 10cfm or more working pressure prior to purchasing. This is a great sander for the price.

I need a recount
Recently purchased this tool. Don't get me wrong, it a heavy, well built tool. I'm having trouble supplying enough air to operate it. My compressor is a 5 hp, 26 gallon Campbell Hausfeld "extreme duty" capable of delivering 6.8 scfm at 90 psi. I figured this would be enough compressor to operate any air tool sold through your local home center. Guess I was wrong. ... Read more

Best around
This impact wrench is by far the best 3/4 wrench around.I purchased mine a little over a year ago and have had nothing but trouble free use. I've used many other brands and models and this is definately the most powerful, bar none. It is a serious HOSS.My wrench has removed many stubborn yoke nuts that a 1 inch impact could not budge.Everyone in the shop wants to use it instead of the shop tool because of it power, light weight and ease of use. I highly recommend this impact wrench for anyone looking for such a tool. ... Read more

There are better ones for better prices...
This drill is very well designed, but the "Variable Speed" feature just doesn't work. I bit the bullet and purchased this drill after searching for a reversable air drill that was variable speed. After hooking it up and pulling the trigger, I wondered why I'd spent all that money. The speed can be varied, but to a very small extent (unlike electric). It takes both hands to very easily let the throttle out and take advantage of lower RPMs (several hundred RPMs). Another issue with this drill is the noise. I've used air tools for a while, but I've never hear a screetch like this one. I would absolutely recommend hearing protection when operating this!
I'll stick with electric and cordless until I can find one that does what it promises.

Quality worth the price
I work on automotive restorations and have experience with several brands of air tools. This is by far the best air drill I have owned. It has quality construction, is light in weight, compact, and powerful. When it comes to air tools, you get what you pay for and this tool is definitely worth the price. ... Read more

Do your shelf a favor Buy IT!
You need one of these if you have ever used a electric one with not enoughpower.This wrench is incredibly light and very rugged.If you have an aircompressor you have to buy this, ithas great power and does a very goodjob in a very small package.

Big things come in small packages
The old saying, Big things come in small packages, is true. This product from IR is outstanding. You get the comfort and usability in the 3/8 model but with the 1/2 inch anvil. I was somewhat skeptical of the power but noproblems exist. I use it as my daily tire and suspension gun now for 3months with no problems. Just remember to oil daily. The stress of theheavy jobs on the 3/8 motor could be a problem if not properly maintained.In all it's a great buy for the tool man.

Big performance, small package.
The IR-2112 is a handful especially when you consider how small and comfortable it is. I can work with this thing all day long. Don't let it's small size and light weight fool you. I'd stack it against some of theother 1/2 impact wrenches anyday! ... Read more
