It’ worth it. Only problems it have is assy worn out in hammer case and motor burns some times when you use it hard
I don’t own one but have used my buddies. It is ok, weird feeling at first. But it works as it should. I didn’t use it long thoe so don’t know if it’s a good tool long term.
If your gonna spend 300 on a cordless impact I would go with the millwakee fuel impact. You can really expand that platform, unlike IR. they make great air tools but I don’t think there’s a lot of flexibility in there cordless tools. The millwakee is also a lot easier to come by an get warranty service if needed.
Don’t buy the 300 set!!!! The 3/8 and 1/2 set is the best deal you can get for the money. (559.00) http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EFYOLHK/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1RQGK4NE0A90A&coliid=ISKNEMEOP07TM
The IR is the best quality gun out on the market only the be taken out of the top by Snap-On. Go to any Automotive shop and all you will see is the Cordless Ingersoll Rand.
As for using it i’ve used the 1/2 model and the 3/8 and they are very powerful… MY only complaint is that they are not brushless like the Milwaukee
Guess I missed this post. I have one. It is very handy. I grab it before I grab a ratchet. I have a set of grey pneumatic duo sockets I use with it. And I agree the 1/2 3/8 combo is a really good deal. I want to get the 7150 to match this one.

You do know all Snap-On’s cordless tools are made by either Durafix (makers of AC/Delco power tools) or Bosch right?
I think Mac, IR, and the Milwaukee Fuel are the nicest cordless impacts currently available.
