I used to be a professional truck mechanic (Kenworth). That was ten years ago and I still regularly use the two Ingersoll Rand impacts that I bought then (a 3/8" and a 1/2" pistol style). I have NEVER rebuilt either of them and they still work flawlessly.
 At the same time, I had bought a Blue Point (Snap-ons "cheap" tools) 3/8" air ratchet. It crapped out after about 5 years of pretty regular use. I replaced it with a Craftsman air ratchet which lasted about another 5 years until I just threw it away a few months ago. I just bought a Lowes Kobalt air ratchet because that's the best that I could find locally at the time (I was in a rush). It had the highest rating (60ft-lbs) of the cheaper air ratchets. It's been working good so far but it's a little larger than my past air ratchets which makes it difficult to use in tight spaces. If I ever buy another impact, it'll be an Ingersoll Rand.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
