John bring that impact set back- youll be cursing everytime you go to use it because it wont get any bolts off.
If your going to be using a good impact your going to need a bigger tank for your compressor. The small 6 gal are for framing nailers and not for impact guns.
Ingersol are one of the best impacts to buy- cant go wrong with them.

i have this one as a easy to use setup so i dont have to fire up my compressor and even this one struggles at 300 ft lbs- so a 250 ft-lbs on a small compressor you will cursing so bad and take you forever to wait for the 6 gal to keep recharging.

Good to know. I haven't had issues yet..but definitely something I'll consider if mine ever crap out.
On a side note.. I saw the coolest toolbox at Lowes last weekend. It was about 6 ft tall by 6 ft wide. Built in fridge, speakers, iPod connection, LED lighting, and probably some other cool stuff I can't remember. I didn't see a price, but I can only imagine what it costs.

Good tool to have around when doing any kind of electrical work are a set of home made jumper wires. 14-16 gauge wire about 3-4' long with alligator clips on the ends. You have no clue how many times i have used mine for testing.
