Thanks for the answers to my air tools question.
Some precision:
>>First of all, are these tools for home use, or what?
Yes, home use. I drag race an '88 GT Mustang in summer.
>>...I've found that the "el cheapo" tools, within their limitations, =
seem to hold up very well, ...
This what I think. At some time, I considered buying a "complete" set at =
Club Price for about 150$ canadian, but that seems to be too cheap to be =
true :)
>>I have some Campbell Hausfeld stuff, and it seems to work OK, but....
I was thinking about this brand because it's very cheap (impact wrench =
is 45$ canadian) and service is very easy to get where I live. Chicago =
Pneumatic cost a little more, but are available everywhere too.
>>... look around for some Ingersoll Rand ones...
I will, but I have never heard about those (but I'm NOT a pro mechanic, =
so...).
>>Also, what tools are you looking for?
I didn't mention what I need because I didn't know the correct english =
names. I need an impact wrench (1/2"), air ratchet, and blow gun for =
now. I already have a very good Makita electric drill and a Campbell =
sandblast kit. The air hammer will come soon after (I'm buying a house =
with a 16' x 22' garage, so I won't have much money for a few months). I =
still don't know what brand of compressor I will buy. Is there a FAQ =
that could help me choose?
Thanks again for your help!
