Air tools
Hey guys, need some input here. I just ordered a new compressor and am looking into some air tools. Specifically, an impact wrench. 3/8", 1/2" or 3/4"?? Deep well sockets or not? Which size works best for most JK projects?

Thanks for the replies. I was leaning toward 1/2" drive with deep well metric impact sockets. Gonna try to pick up an IR wrench without breaking the bank.....but I may be dreaming.

Nothing on your Jeep will need the ft/lb from a 3/4" impact.

I had been using the same IR 231 for 14yrs at work. Finally killed it this spring. Im now using an IR 2131 composite that I've had at the house for the last 10yrs. Needless to say they are worth the price.
