Ingersoll Rand 2850MAX 1" Drive HD Impact Wrench

Stopped working after 10 minutes of tightening track bolts.. JUNK!

I bought this Ingersoll Rand 1" Impact Wrench for work due to working on tractor trailers daily. I apparently received a defective product which is upsetting. I have many other tools including Snap On Matco, Craftsman, DeWalt, Chicago Pneumatic, and a few IR products. This is the 2nd time now that I have received a defective item through IR (Ingersoll Rand). I hope that they test their products and increase their efforts for quality. I plan on purchasing the same item again and hopefully this time it works and is dependable.

Quality product cheaper than wholesalers

I am liking it so farI have only done about 20 wheel sets with this gun and has easily handled everything.First couple sets that I did I did get my torque wrench with multiplier and clicked all at 600 because the gun seems so light I'm working so easily. I tried to put 400 to 600 lb on wheel lugs unlike most tire guys to see if they can get it's really really tight.I find myself wanting to put a steel wrapper around it to make it heavier. Lightest tire gun I ever owned.The back twist when you hit a tight lug is quite a bit less than other guns but still doing the job.Will not say that I love this gun yet because it's only been in operation for a month I will wait until it gets to a year and see if it handles the mother of all lugs.Rite now I just really like and I'llhopping to take it to the next level

These according to YouTube vids are the strongest air impact 1 wrenches you can buy. I don't doubt it either. I haven't used the long anvil much yet but there were some Allen Head bolts that hold the cap on the end of the main boom cylinder on my John Deere 437e Knuckleboom Loader that I needed to get out. I threw everything at them I had on 2 service trucks, including Harbor Freight and Chicago Pneumatic 1 guns, and they wouldn't budge. Even broke several impact pieces and still no budge... They used 17mm allen heads and im not that familiar with metric sizes that big but thats a big bolt, probably over an inch and a quarter if they were sae. My short anvil Ingersoll 2850 was at home and I brought it the next day.... I already had owned it a year before buying the long anvil.... It ripped them all right out at about 130 psi and hooked to only 3/8 fittings (although I do have 30 gallon 2 stage portables on service trucks, I need to upgrade my plumbing)! With 3/8 connections they will out perform any impact I have ever touched! When you plumb them to my big Speedaire 7hp 80 gallon 2 stage at my shop where there is nothing smaller than 1/2 carrying the air then they truly go into Mega Beast mode! I mean get in, sit down, shut up, and hang on!! They also easily peel the lock nut off the shaft inside those cylinders and they require a 3.5 socket. Lugs on road tractor and trailer wheels are childs play for these impacts, short or long. Look at the pic, I know, I have them both! They are crazy light as well. And, they have their triggers on the handle interior, which is so much better than having that snake trigger ready to strike on the exterior! Take it from me.....30 years in logging business and working on my heavy equipment.... you can't go wrong with these impacts!!

I have used IR impacts for over 18 years and usually they are great. But, this is crap to say the least. Unless its broke and no wants to help. Either way its bad. I would not give this to anyone that needs this size.
