AIRCAT Pneumatic Tools 1178-VXL: 1/2-Inch Vibrotherm Drive Impact Wrench 1,300 ft-lbs of Torque - Standard Anvil

Bought this to replace a cheaper and far less powerful air impact. Seems solid, quiet, and strong.

The gun is very ergonomic and it’s easy to put it from forward and reverse as well as it’s very quiet and light weight and small but very powerful definitely recommend for the price. I use it everyday and never have a problem taking off lugs it’s so good that people who own Matco air guns often ask to borrow mine.

Is amazing no noise ,ligth weight ,power its fenomenal...... For the price better than matcoo or snap on .....

Excellent power. Fairly compact. The forward/reverse lever is kind of in the way sometimes when in awkward positions. Overall a good tool.

Love love love Aircat products. I am a professional auto tech and use this gun daily. It is amazingly quiet and deceptively powerful. The antivibration makes it seem like it is not as strong as some guns like the IR Titanium series, but make no mistake, it will do anything that IR will do and more. It also has one of the best triggers I have ever used. I am able to feather the plastic GM lug covers on without stripping them, yet has more than enough power to bust rusty chassis bolts free in an instant. Can't say enough good about Aircat. I own several of their tools and use them in a professional environment, they are tough and reliable. This gun is so smooth and strong that I can't even articulate what Alice tool it is.

This is the an awesome impact hits hard, actually just impressive

Sounds quiet, my last aircat 1250k died after 7-ish years of use and bought this. Stronger and the rpms are quite faster, its also shorter, and more aggresive, hence, I nicknamed it "honey badger." It's small but doesn't care.

Been a beast so far but I have only owned it for a couple weeks. Only thing it couldn’t take off so far was a 46mm hex pitman arm nut off a rusted out plow truck. It did it eventually with heat but took a long time. I don’t have a very big compressor so that isn’t helping. I’d recommend at least a 20gal compressor. I haven’t had any lug nuts it wouldn’t take off even on big rusty plow trucks. And I love the trigger it is much better than the nitrocat 1250k trigger. Very controllable.

All day everyday. I've had this impact for about 5 months now to replace an 1157 I had for about 4 years that was getting tired. Definite upgrade. The vibrotherm drive whatever magic that is means much less torque transmitted to your wrist which makes a noticeable difference after a long day. More power than the 1157. The only downside is the different style of direction switch which takes some getting used to but I've had no issues with it with constant use and very minimal upkeep.

Definatly notice the less vibration. Major asset when using all the time in a dealership.Trigger ok, selector switch could be better but really that's just me being a bit picky.Over all very impressed with the aircat line of air tools.

I have enjoyed using this new style gun and always really appreciate how quiet and powerful these guns are. I just wish they had the soft working cover like the 1200/1250k models have.

Très utile au garage

tres bien
