YOU be the JUDGE: Ingersoll Rand vs. AirCat

The folks at AirCat walked up to DJ Copp at the Ingersoll Rand booth at a trade show and said they bet that their AirCat impact tool is faster than the Ingersoll Rand 2135TiMAX......and DJ accepted the challenge. You be the judge and be sure to cast your vote!

I bought that IR tool. I was extremely disappointed. I had to take it back because it did not work very well at all. My hammered on craftsman gun was much stronger. I am assuming it was defective. Now I am afraid to try another IR gun.

@T6camino We're very sorry to hear that, we pride ourselves on quality, durability, and performance. We'll do whatever we can to make it right and we hope that you'll give IR another chance to show you what we're all about.

I bought a IR 2135 impact gun. I am wondering since you have more experience with me Is it strong enough to remove the 240ft lb toyota crank pulley bolt and honda crank pulley bolts for inline 4 and v6

[irtoolscom]

@kzkevin888 In most cases the 2135 will do the job, those crank pulley bolts are some of the toughest applications out there.

I noticed that Snap-On's lower line, blue-Point as well as Mac also have there own version of the twin hammer style impact guns in both 3/8" and 1/2" drive. My question is, do I.R supply their parts out or does the "Big 2" make their own parts in house (or over seas) for their guns? Thanks!

[irtoolscom]

@degrande707 Ingersoll Rand produces a variety of impact guns for other brands, however many have also attempted to replicate the twin hammer mechanism used by Ingersoll Rand. You can decide for yourself whether you think they stack-up or not.

[irtoolscom]

@MegaGarrett07 You're right, reverse torque is what counts and the 2135TiMAX reverse torque is 780ft-lb, although as we mentioned in another post it will bust a nut loose that was torqued to 1,100 ft-lb, 100 ft-lb more than the Air Cat. As for air flow, we list both the consumption under load (24scfm) and average consumption (5scfm). We've tested the Air Cat and it uses 26scfm under load. We think the video speaks for itself, same air supply, same operator, same job – you be the judge

IR is more faster due to the stability and less vibration like DJ said. But sadly why best company always make the factory at china..I fell not confidence and sick when I saw the manufacturer plate end with Made in China. IR should be Made in USA.. Made in China is really annoying me. I More prefer the Made in USA, Made in Japan, Made in Germany tools because there are huge difference in terms of quality, reliability and esthetic value than the piece of junk that Made in China. China sucks...

So, if some representatives from one of your BIGGEST SPONSORS competition ask you to compare their product to your SPONSORS, what would you do? YOU BE THE JUDGE! LoL

My non sponsored opinion as a professional automotive technician - AirCat NitroCat hands down beats IR in benefit-cost ratio as well as POWER (just watch torque test videos, and google the 5 star reviews). I have used my NitroCat impact for 4.5 years daily (oiling every few months). For hundreds LESS! AirCat makes AMAZING Products.

I am a heavy duty mechanic and own an ir 2135timax and have for 3 years and it removes 33 mm heavy truck wheel nuts no prob, only complaint is that the anvil is starting to crumble but that is after 3 years of hard use. I would recommend this impact to anybody, the only one that is a bit better is the snap on but it costs $150 more and its not that big of a differance

[HunterCO1]

@irtoolscom Nobody has attempted to duplicate the twin impact it has been going on for years snap on and others have done it for twenty years get your facts straight!

[HunterCO1]

@sampwell1819 What are you talking about you dumbfuck? You have clearly demonstrated your a complete moron and full of shit!

[sampwell1819]

@HunterCO1 HU? why do you want to be fucked by me? stupid square head

[HunterCO1]

@kzkevin888 Good luck with that if it is factory torqued its not going to happen my mg725 wont even do it sometimes. My mg1200 will do it every time.

[HunterCO1]

@sampwell1819 Wrong dipshit I base my opinion off of facts and experience now go fuck a goat you moron.
