Here is my 1/2" impact.
CP-734, bought new by me in the 1970's, I think.

COO is Great Britain.

 

[the1nonlyjl]

Keep going!!!!! More pixs!

What a waste of bandwidth. If it matters to anybody, look up the IR Thundergun.

 

[twincam00]

Ive never seen a CP that old Steevo

Heres my gun at home, a Snap-on MG3255. It's a 1/2" drive MG325, compact and light with just enough power for tire swaps

On a site where people post pics of tools, how is this a waste of bandwidth?

 

[92GreenYJ]

No pics but my main garage impact is a 1/2" husky unit. Also have a Campbell hausfield in the Jeep tool box for trail repairs

 

[the1nonlyjl]

Gary- No need to talk negative here. We are not tolerating this narrow minded judgement. This is a friendly site and pictures are welcome...something we can all enjoy seeing/ knowing who owns this owns this and this and share. This is a free country. So if you got a problem with that, go into another room. Don't waste your time here. Thank you!

I wish I could post a pic of my old 3/8 Sioux butterfly! One of the best tools I have ever owned, stolen...

Sheesh dude, didn't your mother ever tell you, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"?

Dang...Thats the legend craftsman right here!

 

[the1nonlyjl]

Cmon anybody! Moreeeeeee artistic photos of big boy's impact guns

 

[Motofixxer]

Aircat 1000-TH With Milton Type V High Flow fitting. Works excellent and is very quiet compared to many others. I started out with one of the cheaper Coleman, and it was a joke comparatively. Doing it over, I would try the Earthquake line at HF.

My favourite

1 1/2' drive, 2400 ft/lbs of nut busting torque.

The rest.

Rarely use any of them.Just repair them.

 

[brownbagg]

my favorite is the IR-231, nearly every tire shop around has them

 

[waterboy12]

1/2 IR 231C and a 3/8 Blue Point AT300C

 

[Murphy4570]

You can see my Matco 1/2" impact in this photo. I had an old steel cased impact for the longest while, and switched to composite. This is the most powerful gun I've ever had. Breaks stuff with regularity if not used carefully.

 

[ManxRacer]

My old Ingersoll-Rand. Bought it at a pawn shop for $20.

 

[twincam00]

The white is sooo cool!

 

[n2ocamaro]

My Igersoll Rand...

Looks Nut Busting just lifting that behemoth..Probably nothing it wont loosen or bust I'm guessing.

 

[the1nonlyjl]

Wow alot of snappers here! Watch out they do bite! lol

 

[Jawn]

Interesting to see that none so far have a whip hose on 'em. I find it makes it easier to get into tight spaces.

Half inch Klutch compact impact, Milton 3/8"x30" swivel whip hose, Milton V plug. That's a Wright 19mm deep socket.

 

[flht1997]

They are both Matco, but I'm pretty sure they are rebadged IR's. 20 years of pure neglect and they are still just as strong as ever.

 

[9GUY9]

Like 75% of all day in day out auto techs I have a IR 1/2" and 3/8" Ti gun. They look like every other one.

 

[Aetsh]

The white is sooo cool!

I really like it.. gets wiped down daily (usually) with simple green to keep it nice

Although I was without it for a few weeks.. just got it back from snappy warrenty dept; broke a hammer , brand new, only 6 months old!

If it happens again, Im likely going with the IR ti 1/2

 

[Aetsh]

I have a bit of a thing for white Snap-On

 

[the1nonlyjl]

I have a bit of a thing for white Snap-On

Makita and Snap on do resemble eachother with same two tone color. Interesting arrangement you got here!

 

[the1nonlyjl]

Where are more pictures of cordless? Mostly are air ones here... Anybody? lol datz alrite. I got to admit air does give out more nut busting power than cordless. I have earthquake torquing at 725lbs/ft. It does serve me all good... But man I hate to pull out the hose and have it tackled me up. That's why I prefer using cordless but batteries are so so. It's pain in my dk to wait for them to go on full charge in 30 min to one hour.

 

[darkk]

I've had this 1/2" Sioux impact for over 45 years. I found it in a discarded in a nut and bolt barrel in a junkyard I worked at. No one claimed or wanted it. It doesn't compare to todays impacts, but it was all I owned for over 30 years. It's still my stand buy gun. Slow but effective.

 

[69GSCAL]

How about electric? I needed an impact for a crank bolt but don't have air in the garage yet. So I got me one of these. Works like a charm, but kinda big a clumsy.
No picture since I'm at work.

Here's my IR electric that came to me from my father after he passed away in 1987. I have no idea how old it is, but I'm fairly certain I recall him using it in the mid 50's. He had been an auto mechanic from the 1930's, but had become a service manager in the 50's, so he had a lot of his old tools at home.

Anyway, it's labeled "Ingersoll-Rand, New York, London Universal Impact Tool, Size 8U, Model A". Marked 5 amps. It's a 5/8" drive, with a 1/2" adapter. I guess they once made 5/8" drive sockets?

I use it occasionally in my amateur car maintenance tasks; lug nuts, suspension work, etc. It weighs quite a bit, so one-handing it in awkward locations is a bit difficult for me.

Interesting note: You rotate the end cap to set the direction of rotation. My father always said that he had it apart once to repair, and he put something back out of place, so you have to turn the end cap to the right to make the driver rotate left, and vice-versa. (Apparently, it was supposed to be the opposite) I've had it apart myself, but do you think I would correct it? I think of him every time I use it.

Yep they made 5/8 before 1/2
there were some other sizes that now seem goofy, like 7/16, or 7/8

 

[nit2wn]

Have a few, but my two favorites. 1/2 cordless which is usually good enough for most of my stuff or 3/4 drive Craftsman off Ebay for less than $90 I believe. The 3/4 drive came about when regular 1/2 ones wouldn't take off my lawnmower blades. It barely hammers three times and the bolts out.

 

[jsaw]

heres mine 1/4, 3/8, & 1/2

 

[MaleMan]

Grate topic guys.
I don’t own any air yet but when my garage is done I will hopefully be purchasing some and a nice old gun to show off hope fully a classic old one from across the pond to remind people of the golden days when everything was good was British German or the good old US of A.
Oh and happy July 4th....... sorry its 2 days two late guys.
