I couldn't agree more with "go name brand"...

Harbor Freight sells Ingersoll Rand, which is one of the best name
brands.

I have mostly all IR air tools; IR 231 impact gun, 3/8" IR 1107 air
ratchet, IR 103, 1/4" air ratchet, IR 327 in-line air drill. I've had
great luck with IR, and best of all if it breaks or something, you can
get spare parts for it, or have the tool serviced.

Try that with a Mechanix air tool... 8^)

I have a couple of cheapies, a 3/8" butterfly and an air hammer/chisel,
but they still work...
I eventually want to get a heavy duty IR air hammer/chisel to replace it.

Btw, Harbor Freight sells the 3/8" IR 107XP air ratchet for $92.99, the
same 3/8" air impact wrench, that I'm selling for $50.
