Semi OT.. Got a new Impact gun.. From home depot.. [photo added]

I picked up a Husky 650lb/ft impact, my old Craftsman was really struggling, and consuming tons of air..

this new gun, it's really nice, light weight (composite) and FAST. It's got dual hammers, and 3 fwd and 3 reverse settings. Best part about it, it's CHEAP. I think I paid a buck and a quarter for it.

How does it work? It rips. lug bolts, which had not been loosened all winter, just zip right out, with no effort. It can loosen the lugs on my tractor, which my old Craftsman, even when newer, would not budge.

Just FYI, for those of us who like our air tools.. =)

I was thinking of you when I decided to post it.. Remember how mine struggled a bit when we were working on your car? This new one makes things look easy.
