mjeff87 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Caught this on NAXJA, passing along for anyone interested. Today only sale on a Craftsman 1/2" air impact gun, 340 lb/ft torque. If you follow the link and add it to your basket it still shows as full price when you first add it, but if you view your cart, you get a $16 discount added. I ordered it online earlier today at work and picked it up in-store on the way home (saved shipping costs that way :D ) Pretty good deal for $20...... http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1260 ... 0383&aff=Y ^^click me^^ Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLHTAZ Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Not a bad deal, but at only 340 lb/ft...it's not very powerful. It will be good for simpler stuff, but it will not likely handle tough spring bolts or heavier things like that. I have a Craftsman similar to that and it has been dependable, but it has not always been able to get the job done. I bought an "Earthquake" dual-hammer 625 lb/ft from Harbor Freight for $79 and have not found anything that it can't take off yet. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been looking to upgrade........my PC, 450# just don't cut it on this Northern rust belt stuff some times, but I know it splits the HF impact sockets :roll: Just lost a 22 mm socket..........again :cry: And now..........back to the regular scheduled topic ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 yeah, like I said, it's a good price for what it is. I have a HF gun, not sure what model it is but it was cheap.....I've used it for some light/medium duty stuff and the impact mechanism is getting sloppy. For what I paid for it it's not worth trying to refurbish. I figure the Craftsman model will get a bit longer life. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jared Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 good deal for just light use, but i have a titanium ingersol rand rated at 800# torque and it has every bit of it. but i use it everyday so i can justify the expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
