Ingersoll Rand 15QMAX 3/8" Air Impact Wrench, Quiet, Ultra Compact, 475 ft-lb...

This thing compliments the IR 1/2" impact so well. Love my 1/2" figured after 16 years of wrenching it was time for me to finally get a 3/8 impact and I'm glad I went with Ingersoll. Coworkers all have snapon and matco. I didn't feel like a 3/8 was worth the 400-600. This lil guy is as powerful as both snap on and matco but 80% quieter even my coworkers want one and when I told them it was only 150 they didn't believe me. Plus this thing is almost too quite. My electric impact is louder. Definitely worth every penny for a great known brand

I was looking for a stubby impact for dash work and bought this one because it's similar to my IR2131 that I have been using for 15 years without a problem. The trigger control is sensitive which is great. When comparing the 15QMAX to my buddies' Cornwell 2138 3/8 stubby (as well as the 1/2" Aircat 1055), the IR was not as loud and took a little longer to remove lug nuts from a 3/4 ton axle but I won't be using it for that. When compared to the IR Tit. 2115, the QMAX is not as loud, 1" shorter and slightly thicker but had a cheaper price. I chose the QMAX because it was light, quiet, and hopefully the quality will match my 2131. I have been using it for a month and have pulled about 10 dashes so far and am happy with it.

Ive been using Ingersol Rand stuff for 40 yrs. I need a 3/8 air impact for a project. Naturally I looked up I.R. When I got the wrench I put a fitting on it and set the air off the compressor to 90lbs, which is whats printed on the tool. The tool stalled when I grabbed the socket and pulled the trigger. I put a couple drops of air tool oil in. Better but still not good. I had to bring the air up to 120lbs for it to work properly. Even then it had issuses wrenching a 3/8 nut. I pulled out my 20V DeWalt impact and finished the job. Lots of torque and impact power. I dont have time for stuff like this. I got the Ingersol because Ive used thier stuff for years with no issues. Now this. Its simple: I want my tools American made, reliable out of the box like theyre supposed to be. Thats their legacy. Either do it right or not at all. This thing is for someone who likes to have a pretty air wrench in his toolbox to impress his neighbor. It got returned

Air gun size is perfect good gun for 12 mm bolt and down, but not enough power to removed engine or transmission bolts talking about 4 cylinders vehicle , even less if you used with an extension. I should’ve buy the 1/2 in instead.

Other reviews seemed confusing or contradicting so I'll lay out the facts and what I observed with this gun (the 3/8 drive 15 max). First off yes, unfortunately the gun is made in China unlike most IR products, but the quality, construction and feel of the gun is comparable to my other USA made IR tools. The gun I received does not leak whatsoever, so if yours does just send it back to amazon and get a new one; it's defective.. For my test I use a 3/8" x 50' rubber airline with no leaks, and 1/4" NPT V-type air fittings. 3hp 30 gal compressor running 100 psi in the line. Oiled the gun with standard air tool oil as soon as I took it out of the box. I used a torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts on my truck to see what the limit of breakaway torque this gun will make. The lug nuts are 9/16" -18 clean, rust free, dry threads and 3/4" hex nuts. Using a deep impact 3/8" drive 3/4" socket and no extension I found that the limit of this gun is between 154 and 158 ft lbs of breakaway torque on that specific size of lug nut. I tried multiple times and multiple nuts, and it consistently would not loosen bolts torqued to 160 lb ft and would always loosen torqued to 150 lb ft. 155 lb ft is 50/50. When tightening the lugs until the gun completely stopped turning the nuts came out to between 120-130 ft lbs tight. You might think that's not even close to the advertised torque, but the manufacturer torque ratings are always some made up number in a specific test to make the gun perform as best as possible, with no real standard. Either way, that's more than enough torque for most real world applications like brake, suspension and under the hood work. This should not be your main gun by any means, but it is a specialty tool for tight spaces and does exceptionally well at that. It's also very cheap for an IR tool... Only ~$30 more than the harbor freight earthquake? Maybe I'm biased to the brand, but it seems like a no brainier to me. Earthquake might last 10 years, IR will outlive you.

I love Ingersoll's impacts. I have a range of sizes from 1" to 1/4" and use all of them daily. The 1/2" I've had the longest for 5 years, and have yet to see or feel any performance issues. As with the 1/2", with the 3/8", I have yet to hear the impact working because they are so quiet! Of course I'm exaggerating, you can hear them working, it's just at 84 DB, these are waaaay more quiet than all of the other brand impacts. I have been able to hear and keep conversations while in use, and they have the same breaking torque as other comparable impacts! With a quality impact that performs the same and is quieter, you won't catch me with any other brand. You also won't catch me saying "huh?" A lot either as my hearing won't be as bad as with the daily use with other loud brands. 5/5 Ingersoll fanboy for life.

Not as strong as expected. Don't use it much because it doesn't brake bolts like on brake calipers. Good enough for small jobs but for that a Milwaukee works better.

In comparison to the previous IR titanium. Noticeably shorter from back of housing to tip of anvil. A little bulkier around the housing. A lot quieter. Slightly more powerful. Fed with appx 140 psi shop air, its seems to hit about 20ft/lb harder. Even if it's not used as your primary 3/8 gun, for the price, it's worth having in your box. Its length will get you into places only reached by air ratchets before. Must have for heavy line or trans r&r's.

Nice design, compact and light. Powerful for the size and weight. Good price too. I bought a 1/2 and a 3/8

This is a must for the begginer tech to advance tech to add in the tool box. Releases/ tightens the nuts and bolts easily and quietly, in the tight areas of the vehicle. An application in where can it be used the majority of times when doing brakes is shown in the picture. I also do recommend buying with swivel sockets and nano sockets if possible which it fits even more in tight areas. For price and quality makes it a good buy. Recommended tool.

Product works fine but I cant get the advertised torque even with CEJN hose / couplers and pressure gauge adjusted to max constant working pressure. 500L compressor can supply tools max pressure air indefinitely so issue is not air supply. I thought better of Ingersoll.

とてもコンパクトで軽く使いやすいですが、 トルクが もう少しあるとよかったかな。

Exactly what i was looking for. Small enough to creep in tight spot and enough powerful to do the job. It is quiet, but it doesnt remove a lot of power. I was impress
