Ingersoll Rand 2130 1/2" Air Impact Wrench, 650 ft-lbs Max Torque, Heavy Duty, Pistol Grip

Bought this when I started my job as a lube technician. It was between this pneumatic impact or a cordless electric impact but this won over it as it is much lighter (the electric impacts are just too heavy and tiring to be using above your head all day) It has been used daily for the last seven months and I’ve had no issues with it. All I do is add about four drops of tool oil every morning (definitely overkill but it’s cheap insurance.) I’d would highly recommend buying the boot that goes with this gun (Just search 2130 boot). The handle doesn’t get scratched up but the top part can if you aren’t careful when setting it down but with the boot, there’s no fear of that. I’ve recommended this impact to all of our new guys and it has definitely impressed some of the guys that have used other more expensive brands. Overall this is a really good impact for the price and great for someone just starting in the industry.

Easily and rapidly removes/replaces wheel lugs on all our vehicles with little noise or drama.It works at lower pressures but if you make sure it has at least 80PSI dynamic at the tool its a joy to use.It reminds me a bit of the experience of driving a truly fast car that is built for speed. It doesnt seem like you are going fast, it just seems like everyone else is going slow. This wrench has you wondering if those fasteners were actually fully torqued, as it so quickly removes them without even jumping around in your hand. It makes it look and sound easy.I cant imagine a better tool for my use unless it was cheaper or came with a guy to do the work for you.5 stars.I edited this review because I've come to realize just how little so many people understand about pneumatics. Be skeptical of reviews by people who claim that their air tools dont work. I'm confident that many of these people dont understand the concept of static or dynamic pressure, dont know how much pressure is dropped through their quick couplings and hoses, and have never actually measured with a gauge to see how much pressure is actully supplied at the tool while it is working. They just blame the tool. I'm sure there is a bad product sometimes, but keep in mind how subjective and errant these reviews can be. If you are new to air tools, be sure you understand the difference between static and dynamic pressures and how to evaluate them.

This is one excellent air impact wrench. Worth a lot more than the cost. I had earlier purchased a cheap $35 impact wrench (see that review) and it was gone after just one heavy use. Lost most power and was usless. This Ingersoll-Rand air wrench is the best one I have ever owned. I have owned about 6 in the last 20 years. Trigger touch control is perfect. You can set the power of the wrench on full and still have touch control so you don't over drive the bolt or nut. Best touch ever with excellent strength when you need it. It may sound stupid to you, but I smile every time I use this thing. It is that good and saves so much time over hand wrenches on 3/8 as well as 1/2 inch drive sockets. Just use the 1/2 to 3/8 drive reducer and go to it. Couldn't be happier with this wrench.

I was heading on Vacation to Florida when experiencing a blowout on my boat trailer. I have 4 wheels, so I was able to get off the road safely. However, I was nearly unable to get the blowout tire's lug nuts loose to install the spare. Finally, I made it happen, but my wife thought I was going to have a heart attack trying. I took the trailer to a pro and replaced the tire. A few days later, I discovered a leaky tire caused by a piece of metal (probably related to cause of blowout). I took the boat and trailer to a tire store. They couldn't get the lug nuts loosed with their heavy-duty air wrenches finally plugging the leak mounted, but I knew I better do something about my stuck lugs, or find myself stranded with a possible heart attack. Salt water was locking my lugs with rust. It's always an ordeal to take the boat and trailer to replace tires, rotate, or plug. I decided I needed an air lug wrench. I could (1) easily make certain my lugs were not stuck by easily keeping them working and (2) easily remove a tire(s) for whatever reason without needing to take the boat and trailer to a tire dealer. I purchased an air wrench from Walmart - their best. I like Walmart, but their best impact wrench could not begin to remove my lugs. I took it back. I went online and researched reading reviews. I settled on the 2130 Ingersoll-Rand. I appreciate Amazon's easy return, so I ordered the 2130. If I said it zipped off all my lugs with no problems, I wouldn't be honest. I had some seriously stuck lugs. It did get several I couldn't turn with anything I had with a few seconds of hammering, but it couldn't get a few heart attacks. I figured if a tire company couldn't get my lugs loosed with their high impact wrenches, what was I expecting? After some patience and penetrating oil, friends, muscle, and the 2130, I hammered those lugs loose without breaking a single lug bolt (my fear). I'm very happy with the 2130 (which took after ordering 4 days). It hammers hard. You'll need a good compressor and about 100 plus lbs of pressure to get the stuck lugs loosed. You'll also need some good penetrating oil (I learned there is a difference in both penetrating oils and air impact wrenches.). After defeating the rebellious lug nuts, I wiped the grease, oil, and dirt from the 2130, put it into its box, and placed it on the shelf with my precious tools. By the way, you will need to order, if you don't have, the 1/2 inch deep well sockets (Walmart's tool came with the sockets. The 2130 doesn't.). It's a great tool.
