Chicago pneumatic tools

After 25 years , I broke my 3/8 CP impact gun..... internal spline drive shaft is in 2 pieces..  I liked this gun , powerful , always worked till tonight.

Are the CP tools worth buying in today's  world??

I've been buying and using Sears 3/8 impact guns at work for trans work  on my bench ... I usually wear them out in 2-3 years and buy a new one. The Sears units are not as powerful as my old CP .... but work well for the bench work

:?  :!:

If you buy the premium line, they are still great tools. The cheaper line is junk.

With this old gun , it has no model  numbers on it... at the time I bought the gun , it was colored red and was an industrial rated gun.

I have looked at a parts break out ,  I wonder if these parts would fit ?

It must have been a bad week for air tools. I crunched my 1/2 impact this weekend.
Wayne, Looking at the CP site doesn't help me much. I don't know what kind of clutch I want. I know I want easy to change sockets so I guess I want a friction ring reliese for that. I'm lost on what to buy or where to buy it.

This is what I use in 1/2" drive  http://www.tooltopia.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=38014  Hard to beat, hard to break.

This is what I would buy in a new 3/8" impact  http://www.tooltopia.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=9701  I have a CP now that is several years old. It replaces a Snapon 3/8" that was stolen when I had my breakin. The new Ingersol is as good as the Snapon, for a much better price.

IR is what I use and you can't beat them for durability and weight. They are soo light.
