I have an Ingersoll Rand 20V electric impact wrench that I use every day. They can be found for around 500 bucks. I never use my air impact anymore.

I'm assuming that's break away torque. The snap on ct8850 is 700 break away and 600 tightening torque. It's $720.00 though.
Actually, the M18 2763 is rated up to 700 tightening, 1100 break away.
The Ingersol 20v is its best competitor, and a few tool review sites have done comparisons - both tighten to about the same level, both can remove bolts the other one tightened.

Cool vid but I'll share my experience with this. I mentioned in the torque wrench thread my buddy runs a few Snap-on trucks. Meaning I get the best price possible for Snap-on and have transitioned to buying tools off him almost 100% of the time.
I was recently put to shame by a coworker when my freshly charged few month old Snap-on 8850 couldn't bust a bolt free. He walked over with a smile and his Milwaukee 2763...bolt came right out.
:doh:
Point being, Snap-on is not always the holy grail. I do love their tools though!!

I definitely agree that they are not always the best. I used to have just about every possible ingersoll Rand IQv product but when I compared those to the snap on cordless lineup they were left in the dust. I sold all the IQv tools to a coworker and bought all snap on.

The best for the highest price but you get what you pay for. How do the cordless compare to air impact guns?
The vid is pretty impressive, thanks for posting it. The difference between the M18 and the IR is about what I expected (as far as differences between them), both are very good.
A bit surprised that they both came so much lower than advertised, but the SO came in 15% higher than advertised, but I dont think that really matters to me.
Even as a pro auto-mechanic, the need for anything over a few hundred is extremely limited, and with the M18 I was out about $140 to add the 2763 to my tool box (already an M18 user) vs the $700 for the SO.
I love their tools, but I dont need it for this. And Havoc's experience with the M18 is not far off from many others I have heard.
At the end of the day, I think all of the 600-700 rated impacts will all do a helluva good job. I know several mechanics (to include a couple "master" level at a BMW/Mini delaership), and the teams they are on see an assortment of Milwaukee, Makita, and SO. None of them have problems with any of their choices, and it was pretty rare to see air being used.
Either way, I dont think many of these options, even the ~300-450 lb options people have posted will disappoint.

That's exactly what I did with my cordless tools, except I replaced cheaper DeWalt stuff. I have contemplated replacing my used and abused Ingersoll air tools at work...but I just can't bring myself to do it yet!
If you dont mind, how much did that run you? I looked at a couple SO impacts when I was switching (the M18 stuff isnt cheap when getting started). Just couldnt justify it with the other tools I would use from the M18 line, with battery compatibility, and overall costs. Same thing with the IR, in the end.
And it sounds like that is your living? You working on passenger vehicles, or heavier duty stuff?
Actually using the 1/2" a ton, or mostly using smaller stuff? Friends at the BMW place are usually using 1/4 and 3/8" stuff, rarely pull out the 1/2".
New IR air 2235 is claiming over 1300 on their 1/2" gun.

I love my ingersoll rand air tools. My titanium 1/2" can usually take off bolts that others can't. I only use air if I have to. I'm pretty much 95% cordless.
