Re: Ingersoll-Rand impact wrenches

You need to use impact sockets with an air ratchet because chrome sockets will
wear out the square drive *very* fast.  Chrome sockets are a lot harder than
impact: the wear rate is even worse with 3/8 and 1/2 air guns.
Get the IR 231, you'll be glad you did.
The reason you have hand sockets is that they have a much thinner wall and
will get to some places a big, fat impact socket won't.  Cornwell Tools, BTW,
has *three* lengths of 3/8 drive impact sockets!
