[TR] Recommendation for an impact wrench

[Alex & Janet Thomson]

I bought an IR 223 (1/2") and a 251 (3/4") 25 years ago. Both made in Japan.
The 223 still works okay but the 251 died two months ago with some parts no
longer available. I did replace the 251 with a Harbor Freight unit but I
know it won't last as long. I can see myself going back to a traditional
name when the HF unit dies. All the maximum torque ratings you see are
laughable - it's like seeing an ad for a 1 HP grinder that "develops" 2.5 HP
yet only draws 5 amps. Check out your local NAPA or other similar type of
store - they may have specials on trade grade air tools including brand
names.

Can any one recommend one for the old job. Harbor Freight seems to carry
inexpensive ones. What should I look for in one?

Thanks, Sujit
