1. Performance- While the HF struggles a lot and often fails to take off wheel lugnuts and in one occasion, head bolts on a junkyard engine, the Aircat has yet to meet a bolt or nut that it has not removed. It struggles at times and didn't want to budge a nut on a wheel hub but neither did the IR. Heat was needed in that situation and then the Aircat had no issues. Rust has funny ways of defeating tools no matter how much torque you can apply. It is noticeably slower under high torque applications compared to the IR so if you're paid by the hour, this might be something to consider if you expect it to quickly zip off lug nuts. A friend who is a mechanic in the army borrowed both the Aircat and HF impact for a day while installing armor panels on military HMMWVs...when he returned them, he asked me where I bought the Aircat because he wanted one for himself.
2. Comfort- This is where I have issues with the Aircat. If you have larger hands, you'll notice that the pommel at the bottom of the grip extends outwards all the way around. That plastic is hard, comes to a sharp edge and will dig into the palm of your hand with extended use...I filed that area flat on mine because it was too uncomfortable. If you have tiny hands or use gloves, this probably won't be noticeable for you. I like the texture of the grip when my hands are greasy or oily but I have to say the HF's smooth plastic grip is much more comfortable when my hands are dry. The obvious positive for the Aircat is it's weight...you can work for a long time before feeling any fatigue from using it compared to the IR which weighs about 5x as much(it is pretty much a solid block of steel though so it's to be expected). Another important point for the mutants out there who are left handed...this tool is designed for normal right-handed people. The forward/reverse switch is perfectly positioned for your thumb but gets in the way when using your left hand...It doesn't look like the switch can be flipped to the other side. I prefer the switch to be mounted on the back of the impact like the IR so it is ambidextrous but the side mount switch is handy for switching between forward and reverse when you have a bolt or nut that needs that back and forth motion to break it free without twisting anything off.
Durability- Overall the tool is solid and balanced...trigger is solid and the switches for changing direction and torque have good detents with an audible click when adjusting them. I do not like the fact that the trigger and torque adjustment wheel are plastic...I would have liked to see them made from aluminium. I also don't like the shaft of the trigger being exposed, it has already started to gather dirt and will eventually be a wear point. The HF is designed similarly and uses the same materials however the trigger wiggles and just feels cheaper than the Aircat despite the price being so similar. The jumbo hammer design is fairly reliable but will need regular lubrication and the occasional rebuild if you plan on using it daily. My IR is at least 40 years old and is finally nearing the point where it needs to be rebuilt...tools were just made better back then so I don't think that is really a fair comparison. It is not, in my opinion, designed for daily heavy(high torque) use but excels at daily lighter duty applications where you don't need to max it out on every bolt or nut.
I'll update this as I find more to write about but I deducted one star for the grip, the plastic trigger/torque adjustment wheel, and the right-hand only design.
The gun is super compact which means I can easily fit behind and around say, some brake rotors at work to remove the bolts for the caliper mount. It isn't the most powerful gun in my shop, I have coworkers with really high torque guns, but for the price, and if you need something specifically for tight spots, I highly recommend this gun. (Though if you need something really compact I think ASTRO makes a subcompact that is pretty much as small as you'll get, and it packs a punch)
Can't forget durability, I treat my tools great, I oil this gun and baby it. Even so, work is work and it's tough on the gun. I wailed on lug nuts you swear are welded for 10+ seconds relatively often with no issues. I've dropped it several times, I'm over 6 feet tall so it's a slightly larger drop than average, gun is still great. Also not a big point for me, but even so it didn't go unnoticed that this gun's ergonomics and comfortability is phenomenal.
It has only failed to remove a lug nut 3 times and all three were faulty and 1 of those would never come out no matter how much torque you applied and needed a special solution.

An example? Today, july 27th, did front strut mounts on a 2008 Lexus RX400H. Wheels needed to be removed, link kit, both bottom strut nuts, strut mount nuts and top nut on the strut. Bunch of bracketry too holding the brake and abs lines removed. All this with this sole Aircat! 22mm, 21mm, 18mm, 14mm, 10mm and 19mm sockets used. This is really good imo.
I won’t lie to you readers; there will always be a time when you need a torch and a serious bigger impact like my CP7748 for axle nuts and heavily rusted stuff. For all other times, this Aircat will do the trick for you.
*LITTLE BONUS; here is a video of an 11 years old axle nut rusted on solid (Ford Focus 2011). As you can see, with a 95 psi regulated air, 1/2 '' air hose and a 60 gallons air compressor, the axle nut comes off. NO HEAT OR RUST PENETRANT USED.*
Let me know if you if this was helpful please!
I am a full time automotive tech im whipping out gearboxs and engines all the time. I had the snap on mg325 the snap on 8810a. Milwaukee 3/8 chicago pneumatic stubby.
