I been through mac air guns, snap on air guns, and they all gave up on me within 2 years and not to mention their hefty price tag, My last IR thunder gun lasted me 5 years, and it's still working, seals are giving up and it was heavy and noisy, so i decided to buy this gun, boy did i make a good decision, gun is STRONG and quiet, none of my old guns could take crank pulley bolts off, this gun did it QUIETLY, i'm so amazed with how strong and quiet this gun is, you definetely won't regret getting this gun.. I love it... If your a person that uses an air gun everyday this is the one!

i bought this gun about a month and a half ago, i am an entry level tech and i use it everyday. everything from taking of wheels, to replacing struts and it has plenty of power, it doesn't even flinch. its so quiet too, another tech just got a regular 2135timax and you can hear him from across the street, go with the quiet one its a night and day difference with no sacrifice in power. i highly recommend this gun to anyone thats looking for a new quiet impact, plus all the master techs in my shop recommended IR guns so you can't go wrong with it.

I use this air gun every day at work. I have been using air guns for 25 years. This is the best of the bunch. I love how quite it is.

Based on the majority of the reviews here, I got one of these guns about six weeks ago. Today it would not remove a 3/4"x16 nut that only had 112 foot pounds of prevailing torque. This is the "Nut Buster" torque in reverse that they advertise? My 3/8 gun has more power than this thing.
Running directly from a rotary compressor, 150 CFM, 90 psi through a 1/2" hose, and this gun does not do a job that my smaller gun handles.

I've owned a lot of IR air tools over the years, and still do. But, depending on their resolution of this issue, I may have to re-evaluate future purchases. I returned the gun to point of purchase this afternoon, and expect to hear something from IR next week. When I get a response, I'll update this review.
Hopefully this is an aberration, and better things are coming.

Partially due to aging and partially due to automakers packing more components into tighter spaces, I finally broke down and bought an air impact wrench. Seems like as the years go by I pay more in the days afterwards from straining on stubborn fasteners - not to mention the bruised and bloodied knuckles when a fastener finally does let loose and your hand becomes pinned between the wrench and some other immovable (and usually sharp edged) object.

Reading through online forums and reviews, the IR Ti-Max impacts were mentioned again and again. When I bought it not too much had been said about the QTi, but I decided to give it a try. The only downside that I've found to it is that it doesn't have that BRAPPP noise to it that every NASCAR watcher associates with using air tools in the shop. It has good power to it and has never failed to quickly and effortlessly break loose any fasteners I put it to. The tool has good balance and I've never found it awkward to use - even in positions where I'm only using one hand at arm's length to reach some out of place fastener. Adding a swivel connection to the air line does help with using the tool in close quarters - that way the air hose can come back along your wrist and arm rather than exiting the tool straight down and running into things.

Recently, I was putting in some lag bolts in my woodshop to fasten some counters and cabinets. After putting in the third lag bolt - pre-drilling a hole and then using a hand wrench to torque the lag bolt into place - the light dawned and I ran downstairs to my "automotive" tools to return with the impact wrench. I had the lag bolts finished up in no time at all!

I have to say that this little baby has become my new favorite tool to use. I used it to replace the struts, coil springs, control arms, inner & outer tie rods on my '99 Nissan Altima. I worried when I ordered it that my 120 volt Craftsman single cylinder air compressor would have problems running it efficiently. Boy, was I wrong! No problems whatsoever. This thing is powerful and super quiet. My dad couldn't believe how quiet it was when I started taking the wheels off my car and after using it he started hinting about Father's Day coming up. Even my wife came out and helped take the nuts off the rear upper strut mount and said it was actually fun to use. Needless to say, I had to run her off immediately before she became too involved. Now I want to get it's sister, the 3/8" drive.

Great gun, works well, has plenty of usable power. Work at a garage, gets used almost everyday and has not let me down once. My boss has one and has had it for 5 years and still works great. That is why I purchased this air tool.

I still have the standard Ingersoll-Rand impact tool. The new 2135QTIMAX is just plain super. It's light, extremely powerful, quiet, & the forward/reverse button is so convenient. I would recommend this product to anyone. Joe W.

What can you say about a tool that isn't just a tool. This impact wrench is like a piece of jewelry. All you have to do to fall in love with this wrench is to pull the trigger once. It sounds more like a sewing machine than an impact wrench. Of course, being an IR impact wrench it works really well. The things that set it apart are how quiet and light it is.

I recently purchased this IR 1/2-inch impact gun I use it everyday for automotive use and has never let me down just a great all around gun light weight and tons of power and torque. Would recommend this IR impact gun to anyone its worth every penny.
