I have a bunch of them. Infrequent user, but the air tools are ~7 years old. Impact, 3/8 ratchet, die grinder, drill... The only one that's had problems was the ratchet. It stopped turning when under pressure (it would free wheel, but whenever you put it on a bolt, it wouldn't turn it). I took it apart, put it back together, and it works fine now.

I don't know if I'd use them every day in a shop, but for a weekender, they work fine. I've also got a C-H air compressor, ~7 yrs old, noisy as hell, but still works fine.

I have C/H 1/4" ratchet and 3/8" ratchet, Both have held up well for several years under limited use.

I have a 1/2" C/H impact gun and a 1/2" Craftsman impact gun. Both are rated at the same PSI/cfm, yet the Craftsman will out torque a bolt by 50ft/lbs.

I think they are fine, but I used to have an impact wrench of theirs that was rated at 500 lb/ft. I think it really maxed out at 250 or 300 at 110 psi.
