AirCat1150 1/2" Composite Air Impact Wrench High Torque 1295 ft lbs (1756 nm) AC1150

The impact wrench itself is very good but the staff is amazing. Amazing experience. Bought the impact wrench. Developed fault after a few months. Contacted guys. They replaced it with even newer and powerful model within a few days. Very very good business, amazing staff. Buy from them with confidence...

I dont know how they do it for the money

Great gun,nice and light,comfy handle,low noise level but most of all very powerful.

Mighty bit of kit for the job :-)

Lots of power,strong light construction, very quiet quality product

Air wrench is exactly what I required

Not quite as powerful as I thought it would be but still does the job for most things.

Powerful and efficient. Did not disappoint with its results.

It's still loud of course, but quieter than my old impact and more capable. Dial lever to switch reverse and forward torque strength is good too.

There has been an older Aircat in my father's shop for the past 7 years which I have used on occasion. They picked it up as a test run, and it has held its own against the other IR guns and is still doing so, despite several years of daily use in an auto shop. Recently, when faced with the decision of what gun to buy for my farm shop, I compared some options, and settled on this one because of the price (it is quite a bit cheaper than the IR 2135 I was looking at) and because of it's history and performance in my father's shop.The performance of this gun, given its price and size, is impressive. On the farm, it loosens bolts that we previously reserved for an older IR 3/4" impact. For through-bolts, this impact is capable of snapping off the ones that are too much work to remove the conventional way. While I am sure the newer 3/4" guns may be more powerful, the performance of this 1/2" gun is still more than respectable.Pros:Powerful and Quiet (relatively speaking). Be aware that it doesn't sound like the gun is working hard. I learned quick the first time I snapped off a u-bolt.Light. The IR gun I was looking at was lighter, but also had less torque. I would call the power to weight ratio on this one exceptional.Air Deflects towards the ground. This is especially appreciated right after oiling the gun, as on some others, when the air comes out of the top, it can drip down onto the handle. This one does not have that issue.Air Consumption: This impact gun uses less air than some of the competitors. I don't have to listen to the compressor quite as often.Cons:The flange at the bottom of the handle annoys me occasionally. It is a bit too big for my taste, and gets in the way when holding the gun at an awkward angle. It isn't bad enough to remove a star from the rating. It is sort or nit-picking because there is so much I like about the gun.Also, the forward/reverse/power setting are all on one switch. I would prefer buttons for forward and reverse switching. I usually use the lower settings for tightening, and that setting is adjacent to the reverse setting, or this would be a bigger issue.Overall, I can't really complain about this gun While I wish the forward/reverse switch were different, and that the handle didn't have that flange at the bottom, both issues are relatively insignificant. Given the power, quietness, and overall build quality of this gun, I would be compelled to look at it even at the same price as the IR. It is considerably less expensive, so it is a no-brainer in my book.

This thing rips! I bought this because I was tired of trying to break rusty bolts loose with hand tools. This thing is very powerful. The quality of the tool is high end in my opinion, it feels likes it’s made of quality parts. It’s not as heavy as I thought it would be, though it does have some weight to it, I could easily use it one handed in tight spots under the truck. For the price, you can’t beat it imo. Worth every penny.

So far, this gun is great. Aircat is a solid company making great pneumatic air tools. As a mechanic, this gun get used everyday and is on par with alot of the high end air tools. Great buy.
