Impact Wrench

[browneyes20]

My bf needs a new impact wrench so i'm going to get him one for Christmas. I'm looking at Sears online now but to me an impact wrench is just the same as the next one. Any insight as to what makes a good impact wrench. How much torque is enough? What does pounds of pressure mean? I don't know I'm lost can someone help me please? TYVM in advance.

What size drive? 3/8"? 1/2"? You gotta know these things.

Either way, nothing beats an Ingersoll/Rand composite.

I would recommend giving him a gift certificate and letting him pick it out himself. That way he can get exactly what he wants.

Either way, nothing beats an Ingersoll/Rand composite besides a Snap On.

I'm not sure so I'll ask him thats the stuff I need to know that I need to know before purchasing anything. I gave him a gift card for his birthday so don't really want to do that again but trust me I thought about it. Tahnks ya'll for your help!

Yeah, I have one and its nice. I also have there air ratchets. If he does alot of industrial work, I would recommend mac, but they are expensive.
