Hello all you full and part time mechanics out there! I've decided I need an impact wrench in the 450-650 ft/lb range. What type or brand do you recommend I buy?

I have a cornwell that had for years and never have me a problem. I also had a Mac but it gave me problems all the time. Never had a snap on but know a few techs that do and they are really good also

Ingersol Rand is the most recognized brand in the industry. The IR231 has been the workhorse for cheap money for years. It can be bought for under $150 routinely. That unit is rather heavy and has rated torque in the 600 range. For around $250 to $300 you can move up to the lightweight, titanium case guns in the 800 to 1000 ft lbs torque range.
