Re: Sears...... (Rant)S

What's everyone's feelings about Snap-On impact guns?
The Snap-On guy stopped in today with a new MG3151 1/2" impact gun.
Magnesium housing and whatever. Nice looking gun, but with only forward and reverse options. I think it's like 300 bones. I told him i was looking for an adjustable power light weight composite gun because i use it for multiple torque applications and they tend to get heavy when you're holding one for 10 hours a day. When he left everyone started in on me about how Snap-On guns blow and Mac or Ingersoll is the only gun worth buying. I'm more interested in a Matco gun, but i haven't really checked out Mac other than using the shops guns which are a few years old, but very light weight and lots of torque.
The Craftsman guns that i looked at when i was at Sears just felt real cheap. Almost brittle and generic plastic housings and trigger.

I use a Snap-On 3/8" air ratchet at work that has really bad head spread on most bolts. I'm looking to purchase one around the same time, so any advice on those as well.
