I've used in my short span of 37 years of turning nuts and bolts, a variety of 1/2" impacts. The CP 734 was my first (wore out three of them) and they're good for general automotive use, not a lot of peak torque, but small and light weight for their time. Got a 231 IR in the late "80's and am on my fourth one of them!! Kind of heavy, not too big as compared to the 1/2" Snap On MG 725 (model # ?), but has really good power for an old design!! I keep it greased at the rear fitting with a needle point grease gun and lube the motor with air tool oil on a semi-regular schedule. I've used other guys' Snap On, IR2135 (?), has a big body, Matco's composite (can't think of model #), Mac's version of the IR231 and a Nitro/Air Cat that one of my current co-workers has. The Air Cat surprised me, light/strong/fast and not that noisy!! I bought a rebuilt Snap On 3,8" last year from the dealer and as 3/8" impacts go, it's a good one. If you have good dealer support, either Snap On, Matco or Mac are good. I'm a little prejudiced toward the IR231 for everything but the weight, but you'll get a lot of good replies here!! Northern Tool has a good selection if you have a store close by to get your hands on. Sorry for the long reply, but that's my 50 cents worth!!

My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
