Alright I have been looking around at air impact wrenches and compressors and I recieved a call today about on that is made by Husky (???) It seems that it is a little cheaper in price and was wondering if anyone has ever used any of their products in the past. This is a complete set of air wrenchs, nozzles, hoses and compressor....Do you think it's any good? Please give any and all opinions

When it comes to Air tools you can't beat Ingersol-Rand. You pay alittle more but they last along time.

To start you can try here.

I don't want to bad mouth anyone's choice in tools.
For the Hobbyist brands like Husky, CP, Sears, etc. are fine but I come from a background as an auto tech and when you need your tools to work everyday all day, you need tools that can take abuse.

Really depends on what you plan on doing with them. If you just want a set for the garage then Husky is fine but if you are going to work with them everyday then go with Ingersol

I am just looking for something to use when Im working on my quads, I definatly hope it won't be everyday.lol. I just have never seen Husky products before and their is not a whole lot of information on the internet. Just wondering if I would be getting a good deal or wasting my money on Husky products just for the garage! Thanks

i got a Husky air compressor for 300 bucks one night at Home Depot. It was a spur of the moment purchase. It has been a good compressor but not one of the strongest compressors. I would like to have one that pumped up a lot quicker. Mine did come with all the tools you would need, like a 1/2 in impact wrech, 3/8 drive, impact sockets, blow nozzle, and a few more items that i can not think of right off the top of my head. I would have to say it was a good compressor for my quad.

Never used husky, but if you are still looking around try harbor freight.

Ok, now I know Harbor Freight and there tools usually last for about a year or so and, Bamm!! They are so much cheaper for a reason....the products and material they use is crap!! When you have a screwdriver set that completly breaks within 1 week, you know they are nothing but making money!! That was a 32 piece set....Every one of them broke!!
