Im having a bit of trouble deciding if i should buy a snap on impact gun or another gun like the IR 2135TI. I found the 1/2 snap on gun model XT7100 for $230 shipped and the IR is just about $210 after shipping on ebay. Im pretty sure the answer is obvious… spend a few more bucks n get snap on but i wanna see what other people think. OR What are other GOOD guns in that price range?? It will be used 5 days a week not just on weekends n such… lemme know what [snap-on](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SNAP-ON-1-2-DRIVE-HEAVY-DUTY-AIR-IMPACT-WRENCH-XT7100_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43988QQitemZ4621917095QQrdZ1) [IR-2135TI](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ingersoll-Rand-2135TI-1-2-Air-Impact-Wrench_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43988QQitemZ4620885869QQrdZ1) ---

the sweet ass thing about snap on is that THEY WILL REBUILD IT FOR YOU FOR A REASONABLE PRICE WHEN IT BRAKES. keep that in mind when buying air tools even tho both my air rachets are mac tools ---

nothing beats a snap on gun, but the plastic ingersol rand guns are great for the price, good wheel stud snapping power. ---

A kid i work with has the IR and i do like it, but i figured if for $20 more i can get a snap-on im goin for it. I read about it in a few consumer reviews last night n i liked what i saw so i hit the “buy it now” button. I’ll let you’s know how i like it in a week or so when i get it in ---

I would say it is a toss up between the two guns. I have the Ingersoll Ti in 1/2" and I love it. It is much better than the old snap on 1/2 I had. In 3/8" I have both a Snap On and Dewalt eletric. It comes down to saying what is better Ford or Chevy. The IR can be rebuilt also for cheap, plus it is a good amount lighter than the all metal snap on gun. All factors you need to take into consideration ---
