I used it twice to rotate tires. Not a hint of inability to loosen some shop torqued lug nuts. Quality built for sure.

I am replacing a Ingersoll 231 that was purchased in 1984 and pulled daily Professional shop duty flawlessly. Due to its outstanding life and Performance, I decided to buy one again when it finally gave up in 2024. This new one acts Identical to its predecessor. Super strong, and nothing more than a workhorse. It has enough power to break loose stubborn nuts and bolts. You will experience the raw brute power of this moose on the first pull of the trigger. Take care of it, oil regularly, and it should give you decades of service.May I suggest Marvel Air Tool Oil. I have used it since 1984, and it has kept my air tools in top running condition.

Very well made and very stout air gun. Very good price. I would recommend this air gun if you’re in the market for one.

I've had a cheap Husky impact for quite some time. It wasn't overly powerful so I was looking for something a bit better. I received an IR 2130 as a gift and was really looking forward to using it. I have borrowed a neighbor's old IR 231 several times for jobs my Husky just couldn't handle. So, I knew I wanted an IR impact. After trying out the 2130 on some lug nuts, it removed them with my large compressor but didn't knock them out near as quickly or easily as I was expecting. When trying to use the 2130 on my smaller compressor it wouldn't even touch the lug nuts. So, having used a 231c in the past, I thought I would pick up a 231c to compare to the 2130.The 231c was able to fairly easily take off lug nuts on my F150 (150ft-lbs) even on a small portable compressor with a 1/4" line going to it. When hooked up to my big compressor with a 3/8" line it rips them right off effortlessly. This impact is heavy, loud and hits HARD! Compared to the 2130 it's much louder, slightly less ergonomic and seems to hit harder. But, I'm a weekend wrencher and enthusiast. I think the 2130 needs more air to really shine. If I was using it daily in an automotive environment I might lean towards the 2130 for most jobs and an Aircat for those really stubborn bolts. But, for what I use it for, the 231C will do the job well and if it's half as well-built as the old USA made ones will likely last me a lifetime.Pros:Works quite well even on a limited air supplyWith a good air supply really hits hard (Much better than my cheap husky and in my opinion better than the 2130)Well built, feels like a tank, parts readily availableThere's a reason they've made this same impact for 20+ years!Cons:It's loud compared to other newer designsTrigger seems to work well but the plastic feels cheap to meMade in China (although it doesn't appear the the quality is any different than the older USA built impacts)I did a lot of reasearch and looked at a lot of reviews. Ultimately I'm happy I went with the 231c. The 2130 is a good wrench but not what I was looking for. Hopefully this review helps someone decide which impact to buy!

****Update 1/2/2013****I have used this impact gun a great deal since my last review, and this gun is still holding strong. I recommend you purchase the IR air tool oil. I did buy the protective boot for my gun, its red and takes regular abuse (gun occassionally gets tossed to the side un-intentionally while I'm working) and my impact gun is still looking great!I use this gun for A LOT of different things, most recently: Busting off the bed nuts on my GMC project truck (nuts were rusted), leaf spring removal, front suspension A-Arms, Honda suspension rebuild: McPherson strut removal, sway bar, hub-bearing removal and install (this was so sweet, i bought the bearing kit on Amazon as well), I can go on and on. You wont be disappointed with this gun, for the price and performance, you cannot beat it.Note: I grew up fixing cars with my dad, so a word of advice from someone who has been doing this a while: Don't skimp and use your regular sockets with ANY impact gun. Spend the money on real impact sockets and use impact grade U-joints and extensions. Regular sockets WILL crack because of their thin-wall design and are simply not up to the task of taking abuse from an impact gun. You cannot put a price on your safety, and ER visits because a shard of shattered socket flew in there should not be in your plans.I still stick with my opinion that if you choose an impact gun, make sure it is serviceable (can be opened up and you can purchase a rebuild kit for it) this alone will ensure your gun will be around for years and years to come. A lot of the other guns i shopped for were of a sealed/riveted design, and wont allow servicing should you need it.****I highly recommend this gun to others.****Gentlemen,I recently purchased this impact gun, which would be my first. I must say that i love the power. I use it for tire rotation, brake jobs, crank pulley bolt removal, etc. The torque is great; I can't even turn lug nuts any further than this tool can by hand. The power selector knob is great for varying power to the socket. I bought the IR 14pc socket set (metric), which by the way, are beautiful! too bad the finish gets messed up as you use them.I chose this gun over a Craftsman impact, the particular one could not be rebuilt with a kit like this one can. Beutiful aluminum finish on the body, I think I will buy a protective boot for it.
