Impact Wrench
define economical....
to me $180 for a 3/8th impact that ACTUALLY works is great. look at sears, their black one with the red forward reverse buttons in back, is a relabeled ingersol rand. bad *** impact. takes the bolt off the crank pulley when the tank is full, gotta hit it a few times, but it still does it. sometimes they have some REAL killer sales buy one get one half off, i got the 3/8 impact and a $150 drill all for about 325 after 10% also (he took the 10% first THEN did the half off deal) bad ***.

If you want the best without paying an arm and a leg, the IR 2135(titanium) is hard to beat. Theres a vendor on ebay selling them for 199.
If thats too rich, Home depot has a Husky Pro (the black grip one, not red), that is strong as hell for 99 bucks. And i mean strong. Only downside to it, is its really slow, and really heavy.

IMO, one of the best deals out there on a quality impact is this Craftsman 1/2" drive:

Its basically a rebadged IR 2131 and if you keep your eyes on the Craftsman Tool Days fliers you will sometimes find this Impact on sale - I think I saw it for $159 a few months ago. Also, for some reason, Sears seems to have great prices on some IR Impacts in their stores. I picked up an IR 2131QT for $179 about a year ago. The cheapest I could find it online was over $200 plus shipping.

Its basically a rebadged IR 2131, which will run you about $40 more retail. The best part is that if you keep your eyes on the Craftsman Tool Days fliers you will sometimes find this Impact on sale - I think I saw it for $159 a few months ago. Also, for some reason, Sears seems to have great prices on some IR Impacts in their stores. I picked up an IR 2131QT for $179 about a year ago.

I have that sears gun, and given my job, I use it hard every day, and it's holding up fine so far, its about a year old. It hasn't met a bolt or nut it can break loose, its relatively light weight, and is quiet, for an impact, which again is nice when you spend all day using it, I paid like $170 for it, that IR gun everyones mentioned is a great gun too, but is usually real pricey

Thats the Husky gun i'm talking about. Dollar for dollar you cannot touch this gun. It WILL take a crank bolt off, and it's only 100 bucks. I used this gun all day everyday for 2 years and never had a problem with it. Only reason i'm not still using it is because i found a IR titanium for 100 bucks.
