I'm looking for some opinions on getting a new Pneumatic Impact Gun for home use on working on my cars. It doesn't need to be the biggest and best out there and of course not the most expensive. I have a no-name brand but it seems to be on its way out and I'm not even sure if you can get parts to rebuild it. I was looking around on ebay and found a Snap On MG725 but they are pricey for new and I'm almost thinking they are overkill for home use. I know with my no-name brand, sometimes I couldn't use it for bolts that were really stuck so I had to use a breaker bar to loosen the bolt before I could use the impact gun. (Sort of kills the idea of the impact gun.)
I saw at Sears an impact gun that seems pretty powerful and it's not that expensive. Here's a link to the Craftsman unit.

As a plus, I'm hoping I can get my job to pay for it since it started acting up at work (not doing automotive work) and I might be able to convince them that they owe me a new impact gun.![]()
