It has 810, the IR has 780. My boss has been working on cars for a long time, and has owned both of those guns before. He actually likes the ir better, even though the snap on has a smidge more torque, it's also almost double the price. The other major difference is weight, the IR is lighter than the snap on, making it's power-to-weight slightly better than snap-on's.

Yes weight was less. Mine had to be warrantied a week after I bought it. It had some grease issue and had the head rebuilt. Then it did the same thing but was starting to grind and have chatter again. So I traded it in and got $300 trade for it. I've had the Snap On gun for a little over a year now and no issues or bolts it has not been able to break off or get out Haha.

I like my tools from az. I don't break them very often but when I do I have the lifetime warranty. My breaker bar was broke once when my cousin borrowed it and tried breaking an axle nut loose on his truck. Snapped the end clean off but that took a 6 ft bar with 2 guys jumping on it to break it.

In a nutshell, object lesson learned, I'm not buying anything from Harbor Freight anymore. Craftsman all the way from now on, which has yet to break anything. Or the True Temper's I inherited from the old man, which haven't broken either.
My Snapon 1/2" air impact only does like 500 ft lbs. But it was $20 bucks so what ev.
My Snapon 3/8" cordless impact will pull a bolt out torqued to 300 ft lbs.
As far as the the MG725 vs the IR 2135 i've used both and prefer the 2135
lesson of this thread should be use the tools provided in the trunk of the cadillac with the spare to remove lug nuts and i bet you wouldnt have broke anything.............
lesson for me is this. Im so glad i dont live were you guys are at.
I would have but somewhere in the cars life all the tools in it were taken away and lost.. So all I have is a scissor jack and the spare in the trunk.Quote:

Not to mention why in the hell would you use a 1/2 to 3/8 adapter to use a 3/8 drive socket to break lug nuts loose?
Cmon man surely other vehicles are around WITH tools in the trunk LMFAO!!!

LMFAO that's all called BII in the military Basic Issue Items that go with the vehicle, best W body trunk ive ever seen! Ready for all the surprises a W body can throw at you! That picture has so much WIN!
You do realise he will have a trunk full of broken tools right? Also tool knowledge is key. Use the right tool for the right job
my tools are all in them hard boxes. the screw drivers and pliers are on the bottom of the milk crate, theres card board in the bottom so stuff dont fall through when i lift it out. crazy as it sounds, i know whats back there, and where it is.
Do you have them tied down. If not they can crush you. Me im thinking of getting a fire extinguisher and a small tool box thats lashed down
nothing moves back there its all wedged in there, good, the cross bar keeps them from sliding to the left if they should move, the milk crates are also sitting on old car matts to further secure them from sliding. then in front of all that is the sub, amp and a cardboard box with more crap in it, jumper cables anther tool box of sockets and wrenches and some spare parts.
every now and then i hear the jingle of tools when i hit bumps. other then that ass sag is my only complaint.
Air bags so you can control it. It would also help with them rattling
