Ingersoll Rand 236 1/2" Air Impact Wrench, 450 ft-lbs Max-reverse Torque, Pistol Grip

I've had this for 2 years and finally doing a review. I use it every day, and it takes a beating and works great. I highly recommend this air tool.

This is a great air impact tool, it's built quality is first grade. The biggest advantages are the weight, low noise and high end torque. Though the working torque it's not great, has the advantage of low air consumption.

I bought this to work on my cars. This tool has no problem with anything I use it for. The finish is fine and I wish it had some rubberized protection to protect it from the concrete floor. You get what you pay for and this tool is worth the money. The only other issue is that it doesnt come with a manual to explain the settings of the directional control.

We use Ingersoll rand for the pass 20 years. It’s time to change brands. This is the second time.

I use it with a 6 gallon PORTER-CABLE C2002 Oil-Free UMC Pancake Compressor for rotating tires and replacing brake pads. I also bought the Ingersoll Rand...

My Mazda Miata broke a bolt that in turn ate the timing belt. Although a novice I decided (with Forum help) to fix this myself. I got to the part where I needed to get the timing belt pulley and crankshaft pulley off. They are held on by a 22mm bolt torqued at 125 FtLbs. Its not easy to loosen this bolt without the whole engine turning. YouTube said use an impact wrench. Well I only had 8 1/2 inches for wrench + socket. I had a 4 Gal air compressor (small for auto shop). So I looked for a wrench with a) good reviews; b) size that would fit in my small space; c) something a DIY mechanic could afford. This IR 236 got my bolt off in 2 minutes and did it with a pretty small compressor; The project can move forward. The only negative is that the documentation is minimal and I had to use a magnifier to read it; But the tool itself worked better than I could have hoped for.

Excellent air wrench. Has taken a licken and keeps on ticken:)

Like magic - summer to winter and winter to summer with ease --- no lug nut is too tough for this IR champion!
