Well, that's great to hear, because I plan on getting a 1/4" drive
ratchet as well. I think the following are necessary:
1/2" drive high-power impact gun (already have my 2131)
3/8" air ratchet (general work)
1/4" air ratchet (smaller work, tighter spaces)
3/8" impact (smaller spaces but higher power than ratchet)
Any comments?
