IR 2131 and 2141 Ti are the nicest ive used. I have the 2131, but they dont make it anymore. Ive used a Matco gun before but wasnt impressed for the money it costs. If it was $200 less it wouldnt be that bad. I just used my 1/2" 2131 to remove lugnuts from a Peterbilt 379 yesterday and it didnt have a problem. We were using a CP 3/4 impact and it wasnt doing a thing then a coworker came up and said "dont laugh, i just wanna see if itll work." Then they all came right off. I like the 2141 Ti better than my 2131 because its lighter.

IR all the way!!!! I have them in both the 3/8 and 1/2 and they can't be beat! I call the 1/2" the Hercules 'cos it'll take any damn bolt off, and if it can't, it'll break it off ... lol ... I've used other's Snap-On's and Matco's and Craftsmans, Bluepoints but the IR's have lasted longer and worked better, are lighter and just feel easier to use in my hand with the way the controls are positioned.

the tools for the truck are over price, High prices do not mean that is the best of the best
Ingersoll last forever. I understand that many times one becomes a fan of a particular brand, but these days pay $ 450 for an impact gun snap-on or $ 280 for a better performance ingersoll rand or for a weekend warrior i recommend the almighty Harbor freight.
