How many of you have been keeping up with modern pneumatic impacts?

Ingersoll Rand introduced it's latest 2235TiMAX a while back - and it's one heck of a gun.  I'm not sure how many of you use/have impacts, as even though they've been in the auto and industrial industries for many years (think 1939), they aren't much of a collectable, or antiquity.  That being said, they still have a place in society, and I'd like you to feel free to check out Ingersoll Rand's newest one.

Thanks, and Happy (Belated) Thanksgiving!

I have several impacts, use 2 every day I am at work, an Ingersoll and a Chicago Pneumatic.   Have had a half dozen of each over the years.   I notice the guys in the shop gravitate to the Ingersoll brand.   The new light weight with composite body models are scary strong.    Some are approaching 600 ft. lbs of power, while the cheap ones barely manage 200 ft. lbs.  They will twist the bolts for you.

I have been using my pneumatic impact less and less lately.
My go to impacts are a 1/2" or a 3/8" battery powered tool. Modern battery powered tools are able to do the job 90% of the time. If my 1/2" battery tool won't do it then I break out the hose and the pneumatic.

The one I linked in the review has 1,350 nut busting pounds of torque.
