What impact gun to get?
Finally got an air compressor. Looking for suggestions on what impact gun and/or air ratchet to go with. Not looking to spend a fortune, but don't want junk either. My friend spent $300 on his. That's not what I'm looking to do.

Hmmm...is this an unmentionable or a mentionable? I am confused. Would a *device* that used compressed air to fire a projectile also be "mentionable" if an impact *device* which uses compressed air to suddenly deliver twist is ok?
I mean...where is the line drawn...am so confused. On a different note, have you looked around at any possible specials (say Boxing Day) where you might be able to pick a DeWalt or something else that's decent that would have been $300 but on sale for say...$200? I don't have any real suggestions, but maybe consider waiting a day or two for Boxing day? |

Boxing day doesn't exist in the US, however the deals should be sweet between Christmas and New Year.

I have two Ingersoll Rand guns that are probably about 10 years old. I use one more than the other because it is the oldest and I have developed a habit of using it first. The most used gun is a Craftsman but it's just a rebranded Ingersoll. Never have any issues with the gun and haven't found anything it wouldn't twist off. I also run my compressor at 150 PSI and don't have any issues with the guns handling the higher pressure over the rated 90 PSI.

Depends on how much use it will see. I have a Kobalt from Lowe's that was inexpensive and works great.
