I hit myself in the face with a half inch breaker bar with an impact socket on it. I had a cracked eye socket from that one and I bled everywhere and had a black eye. Stupid RX-7!!

worst for me was getting hit in the face with a long 17mm wrench lol

also craftsman is good **** i use it at the shop my snapon tools fail alot more then my craftsman.

my 1/2" impact gun is the best i got a mac gun that quiet and it has amazing power. guys at the shop have loud *** guns yet they have to use my gun somtimes to break loose some bolts its like their guns are singlecame civics with ricy exhaust and my gun is a twin-turbo v-12 bently quiet yet powerful. best $280 i ever spent

nice discription. i know what gun your talking about. it does pack quite a punch and is very quiet. i didnt like the snapon guy who came by the shop so i didnt bother buying from him.

Ryobi and Skil are trash.
Dewalt, Milwaukee, Makita, Snap on, Blue-Point, Mac are all good tools.
