Air compressors, impact wrenches & size-manship

[gsxr]

DId you see they are now selling battery powered 1 horsepower compressors in the holiday stuff at Home depot and lowes?

I've seen the battery-powered portable compressors, but am not sure I'd use one much. I picked up a Milwaukee mid-torque M18 FUEL 1/2" impact wrench which works great, including junkyard runs, plus no hassle carrying an air tank, or running out of air. The high-torque M18 impact is needed to match the 1/2" air power though.

I got the high torque 2767-20 at home depot this week for $259.99 with the 5.0ah battery...compared to the first gen snap on 1/2" lithium it feels much more powerful. Great deal for the price, also picked up the old M12 brushed combo with the 3/8th ratchet/impact driver/drill/hackzall for only $199
