A&I Supply is my favorite right now. They're not super-net-friendly,
the site is pretty slim, but their prices are good and so far no
problems with them. http://www.ai-supply.com/
Harbor Freight is good for tools as well, you can sometimes find good
prices on name-brand tools (skip the HF brand air tools!) although I
found that A&I's prices on the stuff I got was slightly better.
Both have free shipping, HF on orders over $50 and A&I on orders over
$75.
Take a good look at the Ingersoll-Rand impact guns, the 2131 and the
2112. I thought the 2131 (1/2" drive impact) was my favorite power
tool until I got the 2112 (3/8" drive impact). The 2112 is very small
and light and has power comparable to many lower-end 1/2" drive impact
guns. My old 3/8" drive Chicago Pneumatic won't be seeing much use
anymore.
