[QUOTE="CountyMounty , post: 1013442, member: 64255"] EddieS'04 its good to here a positive review on the harbor freight one. So you have had the same one for years? Did you modify/add anything to it to make it last or work better? What oil do you use in it, I have only ever had oilless. At $149 I thought I couldn't go wrong but after reading through the reviews I am not so sure. While almost everything gets mixed reviews I really start to get worried with things that get 3.5 "stars" or less. I am still debating what to do. The HF corded electric impact gets pretty good reviews and so does the 18v one. Also I looked at the Craftsman one BigT mentioned and that does as well. I have tons of Craftsman tools that have served me well but to be honest since HF opened up nearby I am sucked in by the price. The thing being most of the tools I will use very infrequently I already have great sets of Craftsman mechanics stuff. Air is the way to go for using lots of different tools but I do not expect I would use much other than an impact wrench. I already have a good electric grinder/cut off and do not see myself using paint or anything else that my small compressor cant do, like blowing. Thanks for all the suggestions I need to stew it over a little more, I was a bit excited to finally get into air tools but I'm not so sure it is needed for my DIY level. [/QUOTE]
