Nothing wrong in wanting good tools. It's an "investment" . That's what I tell myself every time I buy a new one !

Yes ! That is what I was saying in my post. The original military unit is hard to beat. I own several just in case one goes missing.

I bought one when they first came out just to see what it could do. Afterwards I went back and bought another one ! They are a good quality tool and I don't see why they cannot last years in a hard working environment like a tire shop. Just before I retired from the transit agency there where...

I do actually. I own several 3/4" impacts from "Chicago Pneumatic" (the made in America one) and "Snap-On" to the new Harbor Freight "Earthquake" . I really cannot tell any difference in performance between them. The only difference I can find is weight. The newer Earthquake is lighter then all...
