As far as air tools, I still use a Snap-On IM-5 1/2" impact gun (gun was dicontinued 10 years ago), and a Matco 3/8" air ratchet for over 8 years with no problems (cleaned and oiled daily). I've had CP and Astro Pneumatic air tools that don't last a year. This is one area that a good, expensive name-brand tool seams to be worth the extra cost.

Couldnt agree more with what you said about air tools Dwayne. I have some good name Air tools as well as some cheaper stuff that cost a fraction of the name brand stuff and the cheap ones just dont last even if you oil them daily. I had 2 CP 7" air grinders go bad in less than a week if you can believe that. When it come to air tools the line "you get what you pay for" has never held any more truth!
