Been needing one FOREVER. Anyway, the local Mac guy came back from the tool show with a BNIB Mac 1/2" drive 19.2V impact gun, 1/2"drive drill, and flashlight for $320. Normally priced at $620. He’s bringing them to work next week, and unless I find a lot of bad reviews or something, I’m going to snag the kit up. Anyone have good/bad luck with the Mac cordless line? ---

I’ve never used a Mac gun. Maybe try [garagejournal.com](http://garagejournal.com) There are some extreme tool needs there that I’m sure can give you some insight. ---

I’ve never had an issue with any of MAC’s line of electric tools. I don’t have a MAC impact but I do have a Snapon cordless in both 3/8 and 1/2 drive sizes and if the MAC is even half the quality of these Snapons it’s STILL a good buy at $320. I’d say jump on it ASAP. ---

Thanks guys. I’ve never had a problem with any of my Mac/Snap On stuff, but you do hear of the problem item from time to time. Just wanted to make sure this was not one of them. ---

If Dave will sell you one that cheap go for it. (I’m assuming your buying it up here not down in TI) I know the snapon guy is getting 600 for the same thing, but he had some deal going with a free carry bag and sockets. Don’t know if he had any left and personally I don’t think the $$ difference would justify it. ---

I tried asking you about it the other night but the motor mouth that I work with kept interrupting. ---

I’ve never used a MAC one personally, I have used the snapon euivalent and they have a lot of nut. You using it primarily to swap wheels at the track? I believe Erik(10 second C) has a MAC one that he uses for swapping the rear tires on his car when he goes to airborne during the week.
