Alex, there's certainly nothing wrong with buying a cheap one like that, so long as you know what you're getting. I used one that like for many years and it'll probably last a long time if you keep it clean and oiled (be generous with the air tool oil through the air intake). Anyone buying one, though, should look at the specs to see how much torque it puts out. I'll venture a guess that in that price range, you probably have about 250 ft./lbs. That's adequate for a lot of jobs, but I prefer my Ingersoll Rand that goes 425 ft./lbs.

Don't you love it when you buy something realy good really cheap.
They can keep the extra 25 ft/lbs and you kept the extra $100 with a smile I bet.

My pappa always said If it sounds too good to be true, it probibly isn't.
I had a Central Pneumatic (Horrible Freight) brand air impact, rated 450 ft lbs. It couldn't budge a nut (front pulley bolt on a GM 2.5L 4cyl) that spun off with my father-in-laws I-R in less than 5 seconds. I went out the next day and bought a Snap-On. Yeah it costs more, but it's there when you need it. I found its REAL east to publish specs. . . but on Sunday when you try to use the tool and it either won't do the job or it breaks, what-do-ya-do?????

Alex, if it really is that powerful (and it ought to be if that's the specs on the paperwork), then you got a really good deal.

Steve, I had one of the Central Pneumatic 1/2" impacts, too./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif It was only rated for 250 ft./lbs. and would usually remove lug nuts, but I found lawnmower blades that it wouldn't budge. And I still have a Central Pneumatic butterfly (3/8" impact). No power, but it's fast on easy stuff. If I really needed a 3/8" impact, I'd throw it away and get an Ingersoll.
And like most repair jobs, air tools can be a little daunting at first, but they're actually usually pretty easy to repair if you can get parts at a reasonable price. And if it came from Harbor Freight you're lucky if you can get parts at any price. Snap-on is no better, no worse than Ingersoll Rand or Chicago Pneumatic, but they're really proud of their parts./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif
But of course, unless you're a professional mechanic using them every day, most of them will probably last a lifetime if they get proper lubrication and no dirt and moisture in them.

Bird,
I have found a really good use for my Central Pneumatic air tools. I have a neighbor who borrows everything. When he comes for air tools, I give him the CP stuff. He doesn't know I 'm holding back the good stuff (Ingersoll)
