Default Impact gun ?
So I have two different impact guns from craftsman. I'm going to sell one of them and comparing them one has higher tq but lower impact/min.

What is better higher tq or higher impact/min?

Thanks!

I hve one 1/2" drive I/R #244 7000 blows/min. and one SnapOn #IM51 way lower blows/min.

I bought the I/R to preserve the SnapON, SnapOn succeeds eveytime I/R fails!

Food for thought!

I'm not asking what one I should buy I'm asking which one to keep! The one with more tq or the one with more impact/min

Agree with above the IR is probably the best IMO. It is one of the lightest and has one of the highest torque outputs. Bluepoint has a mini 3/8" drive I want to get that is handy in small places.
