I use my guns off a 25ltr tank no probs I have http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/US-PRO-1-...Air_Tools_and_Compressors&hash=item565a444b15 as my normal gun it is not a bad gun for the money a bit heavy but is reliable, and I am not bothered about leaving it lying around, or using on other peoples tanks and air lines etc. Because of the cost I only use the snap-on when struggling or crank bolts and rusty drive shafts etc .

I'm
Busy bidding on a 2135qti ingasoll at the moment for 105 quid with new cover and little use. This model is new at 370 quid and has a break torque limit at 780ft lb or 1024nm that should shift my wheel nuts lol

I used to use air impacts, I have had a cheap sealey one then another cheap Clarke one, then went for a snap on im1600 I think it was and I got fed up of dragging hose and extensions around the workshop and farm. So I bought a second hand Snap on CTU4850HD off eBay and they don't call it the mother of all impacts for nothing! It's a beast! I paid £225 delivered off eBay for the impact gun 2 battery's and a snap on torch the 2 store in the box. And I'm now on the look out for a 1/4 drive one and a 3/8 one for smaller jobs. So if you can stretch to one I'd go for it, you won't regret it. If you lived closer I'd bring it over so you could use it.

Sorry yes it is the same and you get on very well with it then? Does it easily undo wheel nuts and crank pulleys then?

As I have said it does most of what I want, I use it all the time and is my first choice because it works and does seem to lose any power as it get older I've had it about 3yrs.
BUT as said because on some nuts that have been stupidly overtightened I have just bought the snap- on but I dont want to use it all the time and wear it and let it go down on power I want to keep it fresh for the struggle nuts if ya catch my drift. PS if the us pro goes down I will get another for the price they are good middle range gun that will stand being 'used' n abused.
