I've got a blue point one which i've had for 10 years and it's never missed a beat. I just recently bought the new Snap On electric (cordless) rattle gun and it leaves my blue point air one for dead. It came with 2 batteries and a torch.

They might be dear but atleast you can pay them off.

Cheers Mick.

This is the gun i use, very nice gun. The work shop also has one that everyone can use, so u can imagen how that gets treated but yet it still goes strong, I dont think i have ever seen anyone oil it.

This one looks like the go next time

I'm a diesel fitter with hastings deering CAT in the bowen basin mining area. I have a CP guns, blue point guns, snap-on guns and as far as bang for your buck goes, the IR 2135 shits over all my other guns to the point that I sold both my snap-on 3/4" and 1" drive guns and bought IR guns. All of the BMA and Rio Tino mines carry them in their tool stores too because they last so bloody long.

We have 3 Wurth 1/2 guns (i think they may be made by Ingersol Rand) and one brand new Snap-On 1/2 gun at work. The Wurth ones are light, powerful and quiet which is good when you are using them all day everyday. The Snap-On one is a heavy, noisy, awkward waste of $600 and will be getting traded in very soon. We have had one of the Wurth ones for over 5 years now and it never misses a beat.

I have both Ingersoll Rand and Sidchrome, the IR was a lot more $$$, I would assume it will last longer than the Sidchrome (both are great to use) but if it justifies the extra cost I can't say, well not until one of them shits it self

Spend it once, spend it right.

I use a Chicago Pneumatics at work. Never had a drama of any sort with it. Got it for about $180-190.

Mine would be used perhaps a dozen days a year. so it is very hard to justify spending mega $$. I had a scorpion rattle gun purchased for me by a well meaning wife, but it is junk .. does not even make a decent club to bash a bolt off.

The sidchrome seems to be well priced for the back yard wannabe such as myself ( I am sure if I was in a trade that needed powerful reliable air tools spending several hundred $$ on a really flash unit would be justifiable)

I picked up a 1/2'' drive blue point gun at a pawn shop for 70 bucks....

Those really high ft/lb of torque...I think are the reverse rating...and you need 110PSI up to actually get to that... which is basically a workshop pressure...

Any old gun will do around the house, but SP air have some cheap little good ones, or a cheap Sidchrome
