I am searching Northerns site now and I found this gun...

Anyone heard of "Aircat"? This gun seems to be the best so far. (if they
are a good brand)

Subject: Re: Impact Wrenches
I bought a similar 3/4" gun from Princess Auto, before they gave up
their US business. It works fine with a 1/2" hose and my large service
station compressor, but I warn you that the gun is HEAVY. If you are
doing more than a couple of fasteners or working over your head, it can
be very tiring after a short while.
