I'm going to say that's absolutely amazing that between the three of you you've never broken a Souix tool wow
@@deepsquat600 Oh we've broken a sunex tool. Just not a Sioux USA made air tool.
@@TorqueTestChannel wow you were right on top of my comment two seconds after I hit the post I realized I put the wrong brand up and you caught me out good response time also hey man love your channel
How do i send you guys a tool? I have a harbor freight Chief brand air hammer. I have never used it it is basically brand nee
Sioux. A snap-on Corp owned brand ,, could be a factor as to longevity of the tools ,,
You and Project Farm are 2 of the CZcams GOATS 🔥
Don’t forget ave
Oh yeah! Project Farm definitely needs his due credit. I also like real tool review but haven't seen anything from him in a while
@@CaptainVillanueva1 Don't know what happened to Real Tool Review. He dropped off the radar.
Project Farm is awesome. I check his channel before I buy stuff to see if he has tested it.

“Gently wake up your wife in the morning and she would still be willing to make breakfast” 😂😂 absolute gold
Not sure if that’s supposed to be dirty or not
Hahaha I love this guy 🤣
I so thought he was going to tell us about the new silicon attachment that comes with it the way he was going with that phrasing 😂
@@andrewbrummer9539 If not sure, the answer is always "Yes" ;-)
it’s the best way to say it tbh
I’ve been a mechanic in Michigan for 30 years lots of rust I would have to say IR is top of my list
I love how ir pneumatics reward you with more power just by having higher line pressure. Perfect for shop use.
It's why I will never own cordless tools except for your standard drill, and 90 degree drill. They are a scam designed to sell lithium battery packs.
@@JosephArata??? They are completely mobile for a different use and consumer
@@JosephArata Yeah, let's just ignore the fact that pneumatic tools are a massive hinderance outside of shop use, and that most cordless tools are marketed and designed with that in mind.
@@realsaxual2357 but they don't have the power when really needed, you would be better with a corded tool with a small gas generator to use for mobile works.
I’ve had the sunex for over 2 years now and used it as a full time auto mechanic and it’s been pretty solid. It’s very strong for the money and has held up very well. I’ve been pretty happy with it all in all.
This is the comment I was looking for
@@Dr.Squints I’d highly recommend it! Good air hammer for the money.
And again IR win the competition, I am proud to see my Air hammer win.
They are great products, but I’d snap on was in there it would win. Price is ridiculous tho
Mine is less than a week old and the barrel shifts and moves around. All fittings are tight. Is this normal?
I will say I have every one of sunex’s pliers and they are amazing, never had major issue. I did chip needle nose from misuse and they swapped them out so fast. Their shipping is unbelievable it’s so fast.
This channel is such a good service for consumers, I think it should get funding from the government
Only thing govt would do is skew the results to benefit whoever lines their pockets lol
This is such a honest and good channel
I’ve had the IR 119K for a few months now was really hoping it would show up on here, the thing has a stupid amount of power but I didn’t have much to compare it to. It really amazed my coworker to see a pretty large rivet get it’s head curled over and sheared off within seconds
Can’t wait to see my likely next pickup, the astro 4980 get tested and I’m sure it’s on the way! Awesome to finally have a way to compare air hammers much appreciated
My CP717 is 10 years old and has done hundreds of jobs. The Snap-On 3050 is a fine tool but the 717 does the business. Great content, thank you.
I’ve got an el-cheapo ($10)harborfreight air hammer that gets used a lot simply because of it’s size but when I’m not in the mood to mess around and need a heavy hitter my IR119Max has never let me down. I’ve also got an IR needle scale attachment for it that seems to work better than dedicated needle scalers, probably due to how comfortable the IR119Max is to run normally. If I had to buy it again tomorrow, I would have no problem paying full retail for it!
Have been waiting to buy an air hammer until you released this
I have the IR and i love it. Been a beast for years. Ive had it for three years and still kicking. I bought mine for 120 online with a warranty. But from what i hear the Chicago Pneumatic CP717 Super duty is a champion amoung champions, its the OG design of Astros big nasty. Yes it has a bigger shank. But most will argue the astro Super duty .498 shank air hammer is a monster. It didnt get the title as big nasty for no reason.
Been recently running into some stuff my short barrel IR is having trouble with (CV axle seized in the hub the other day.) Perfect timing on this.
Super video and great work. Also helped that your example video was from my favorite mechanic from my favorite auto repair channel! Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing.
Thank you for helping us make better buying decisions.
You guys are killing it! I thought I'd know after this one which gun to go buy, but now I've got to wait for the next video in the series...just in case. Honestly, I'm leaning towards getting both the IR guns you've tested which would cover about anything my home gamer operation would need.
I'd love to see some of the SDS Plus Rotary Hammers tested on this dyno, see how well they stack up as an air hammer alternative
He made a video about that if you didn't get notified
Agreed
Excellent, I’m glad you finally tested a rivet gun.
Just found your channel last night I'm so glad I'm not the only person that still uses BEANS as a unit of measurement
holy cow I was just on amazon looking for air hammers! I was just thinking about TTC and it seems my thoughts were answered!
Thank you for another fantastic video! 🙏
I don't use these stuff but still love these type of videos 😂
Just bought 119max a month ago. Impressed for the money but nothing like my Snap on. Great video and I loved LA Noire drop in 😁
'The Most Powerful Airhammer' yet I don't see Big Nasty in the Lineup......Time to call Eric O again
.401 shank in the title!
@@TorqueTestChannel Ah yes. That's true, Big Nasty is the big boy 0.498. Brain farted for a moment!
Maybe if my 498k ever ships out I'll send it over, summit racing says November... Not hopeful lol
@@ryanoneill91 Nov?! Yikes
I don't think the SMA channel is giving up the Big Nasty. He seems to use it in all his videos.
I look forward to compare to the snap on air hammer, I have the Ingersoll Rand and a work mate has the snap on at triple the price in Australia, but we do the same jobs with them pretty well
Excited to see the next video, my IR always got the job done so I've never looked at other guns. I'm curious to see how the tool truck guns perform.
Love this channel thanx guys !!
really excited to see the next air hammer vid!
I've got the CP hammer. Awesome gun. Wish it had a built in regulator though. Just added one on. Good enough to spin #6 jic fittings off without damaging them when turned down and drives some pretty big bolts and pins out when maxed out so I'm happy. I'm sure all of the guns on this list are worth the cash anyway.
Appreciate this video, had my eye on the Sunex for awhile.
I love the airhammer videos. I am a user of the med barrell harbor frieght with their 5 dollar chuck. Hehe only the best. Thanks for doing your work you guys knock it out of the park every video.
I've been running my Matco for 20 years. I think I'm getting the IR now. Thanks guys. I've been watching this entire series. Please review the new harbor freight Cheif
I've had the Sunex SX243HD since Jan 2021, hard hitting hammer while being a bargain in price. Glad it stacks up as well as it does.
Well thank God. This video game out literally a day after I ordered the IR. Glad it's not a slouch!
The CP717 is an absolute monster. It’s a .498 shank, though, so it’s a separate category.
"BIG NASTY"
Yes Indeed, I only bought this tool last month, €590 all in.. Its ridiculously powerfull
Can't wait to see them next 4 all stacked up.
Can't wait for the truck brands competing!
I bought the IR 119 a couple years ago, and noticed it was likely the most powerful .401" hammer I'd ever used, beating out my older IR by a good margin. Appears my hands weren't lying; I made a solid purchase.
Hi, I had an ir that was ok, and a blue point that was a beast and still is, now I want cordless!
I didnt notice you figuring the quick change bit retainers in to the value. Theyre definately worth having.
I don't know how you've been listening in on my private conversations... But that Mac air hammer has been on my radar for a bit now. Very excited for your next video. I've had really good luck with the few Mac air tools I have.
He's onto us! Scatter!
I bought a sunex tool cart and it’s just as well built as my snap on box.
Really excited for the next series because I wanna buy the Matco one really bad but now I’m gonna wait until you do the video to see how it stacks up against Mac and snap on
I use the sioux model all the time at work putting together box trucks, damn fine piece of equipment
Finally a decent video even including the 119Max
Awesome series of videos. Another vote to test Big Nasty to get some numbers behind the hype, and to see what .498 really gets you vs .401.
Great comparison.
I completely forgot about souix! Glad you thought to pick one up 👍🏻 can’t wait for the tools truck brand video
I have that IR long barrel... good for the price...you are getting good tooling with it and a good case..with that price..not just the tool...but, my Snap On 3050 hits harder...but it has its place...
Can’t wait for the tool truck showdown!!
Great video! looking forward to what snap on and mac can do! especially after just buying a snap on myself!
I would like to see the Chicago Pneumatic CP7165 perform, it's their latest in this range. Powerful, yet low vibrations are really important if the use is daily. Really nice test, if power is your only priority. Operator using the tool for extensive periods of time will benefit from better ergonomics.
Would love to see the AirCat 5200-A-T tested. I had searched the forums last year looking for a new air hammer .401 typical shank. For price/performance the AirCat 5200-A-T kept coming up. I bought it, far better than the $20-40 crap short ones I've had for 20 years that seemed to do nothing. But I have no way to compare how much better. Almost bought the Ingersoll Rand 119MAXK, but the AirCat was thought to be as good, but saving a bunch of bux. Would be great to see that tested. Great job! been binging the vids !
I have the sunnex one I love it it fit my budget and made stubborn suspensions stuff come out it win in my book bc it's under 100 bucks and did almost as good as the ir brand for a lot more
What kind of pressure can you get out of a 3lb mini sledge by hand vs air hammers.
Came here to say the same thing! Wanna see a few different hammer sizes ested by hand to get a good idea of how much stronger air tools are
That's a good question for instance one day a guy at my apartment was trying to use a hammer to knock something loose just your average like 16 24 oz hammer and I said hang on a second I went upstairs grab my 48 oz sledge that I bought at harbor freight for about 20 bucks brought it down he hit the item twice and it broke free he had been working on it for 20 minutes lol
We've all been there get out the sledge hammer and hold the chisel with one hand and then pray you don't smash your fingers to infinity and beyond.
@@deepsquat600 Oh yeah, if there’s space to use my Canadian made Impact Poly mini dead blow sledgehammer, I’ll try to use it. If that feels impractical, out comes the Snap On air hammer. A few weeks ago, I as replacing my passenger side upper control arm on my 1997 Acura CL. There’s a lot of electrical boxes and stuff in the way, and one stud from the control arm was stubbornly not moving. There just wasn’t room for a hammer and punch to go full force and avoid damage to a fuse box. Air hammer was the right choice in this case.
TLDR: It’s good to have tool options, and experiment with them.
@@deepsquat600 See that is why I think the maximum impacting force is more important than how quickly these hammers drive a wedge in. 8 hits with a 1 lb hammer don't equal 1 hit with an 8 lb sledge when you're trying to get something loose.
The Sunex is a beast for the price!
I have the sunex with the needle scaler and the thing hits hard
These guys have spent all their money the last couple videos lol thank you for that tho enjoy the channel a lot, I like seeing what's the best.
I run the cornwell big boy now but my last air hammer was the ir 118 max long stroke and it was a beast aswell preferred it over snap on and matco
I'm looking forward to a Snap-On air hammer test. I've consistently heard from mechanics how that's the one to get
Thank you Sir!
Now I know whats going under my Xmas tree this year.
been waiting for this one
At 700 bucks for your whole collection I understand why a guy would not want to test it, but you gotta run the Snap On long barrel gun. In fact I'll loan you mine. Its twenty years old and used every day. Nothing I have experience with is in the same ballpark. It will blow a ball joint across the shop with ease. Nothing has ever even come close. I own a number of other hammers and the snap on is what I grab when you absolutely have to fuck something up. I have 4 other guys in the shop with a number of other air hammers, and when the rubber has to meet the road, they sneak my Snap on. And I am not a fan of snap on air tools, but their air hammer is the Diggler in my experience. In other news, love the channel, love the content and keep it up. I hate to admit that watching you guys rattle away at shit is interesting, but it is. So thanks.
Can't wait to see what the old faithful snap on 3050 does I've had mine for 20 years and it still gets the job done ...I've beat the tar out of it and only had to replace the trigger and the quick release once
Yes, I've had my 3050 for 12 years. Haven't had to replace any parts yet. Absolute workhorse imo
I'm really happy there weren't any cp and dp jokes... also I've owned the new snap on, matco and Cornwell air hammers. Cornwell was the best in my opinion
Oh God...
The Cornwell is an Ingersoll
That Sunex has a nice range, good low and pretty decent high. Nice do it all model for the home DIY guy.
Thanks for these videos. I am in the market again for a new air hammer since my cheif broke in half. This helps me decide what to go with.
I'm at a toss up between the IR and Sunex. Which ever I go with will be used for normal automotive repair uses. Such as hubs,rotors,ball joints,studs,etc.
While the cheif worked great till it broke, I'm wanting to try something else.
Update, I went with the sunex and haven't regretted it. At times I would like a little more power but it's been able to get the job done for me. The trigger is wonderful to use its miles ahead of the cheif I replaced.
Don’t forget to test ” Big Nasty” from Astro tools in the mix. Really curious on that one. I have seen Eric O from south main auto struggle with snap-on getting a lower ball joint out, then using big nasty and it lasted 5 seconds. I’m considering selling my snap-on and getting big nasty. Thanks
Torque Test Channel i absolutely love your video can you do a air die grinder test where you test a bunch of them to see wich one is more powerfull and for the money ?
I had a regular snapoff hammer. It finally died. I now have a IR long. I feel the snap was more powerfull. Not sure why.
Love the test.
Yay!!! More air hammer 🔨⚒️
I know it's niche but I'd love to see some chipping hammers or rivet busters. The really long ones run at under 1000 BPM with longer barrel lengths. Would be interesting to see the extreme end of the speed/impact side of things
I am going to check your channel before any tool purchases in the future!
I would like to see how the .498 shank air hammers compare to the .401.. Like the Astro Pneumatic 498k and the Chicago Pneumatic CP717.
Thanks!
I love my 119max!
Look into Cornwell tools as well
So Mac tools has one with locking bits, that won't rotate. That would be quite helpful with cutting bits. Great channel...love the subtle humor.
I been a tech for 25+ years and I will say most tools on the tool truck are over rated over priced and generally not worth it. Only reason they are popular is convenience.
I will agree that in most cases this is the case, however my 1/4 flex head snap on ratchets(short and long reach) ones beat out my others(gearwrench, wera and tekton). For certain jobs, they just work where other ones dont. This IR airhammer is the same one i have. My co worker has the mac one and its just as good as his.
I’ve been a tech for 18 and will say that the tools I bought from snap on are the best I’ve ever owned. I see a lot of guys having to buy and buy again after breaking when they don’t want to spend the extra money.
I wish you can feature a CP-714, which is what I have. In my experience, it's comparable to some tool truck brands in power, but has great control/teasing trigger.
I love this channel
I've been selling surplus aircraft tools for over 20 years. I've sold no less than 500 rivet guns/air hammers over those years. The most powerful gun is the APT 800 .498 shank riveter. As far as .401 shank units go I think the Ingersoll Rand ACV-13 is top dog! The Sioux 270 is a great unit also!
I'd like to learn about the APT 800. I don't see it on the website. Can you provide a link?
@@jheissjr astro pneumatic
@@zoticus1 I don't see an air hammer or rivet gun from Astro Pneumatic called 800.
Thanks your video help me for buy
Definitely test the mph 1911 in the next vid
I think you need to throw an aircat branded one in the mix. A guy I worked with a couple years ago had one and it was an absolute monster
The mysteries of the auto universe solved! At least some of them. This is good
Eric O gave us the what for on air hammers showing us where the beans are at . "-) what is that SMA., being a retired HDR / welder, the air hammer was all about what worked, in short I destroyed them. CP was the go to in my day.. used the short barrel hammer / slagging chipping and so on. needed bigger get a hammer, and put the meat to it.
I have the CP 7150 and thought it would do better, but the numbers don't lie. It's done everything I've needed it to and I only paid $35 for it on clearance at Northern Tool. Guess I'll have to buy an IR.
I worked in a shop and we had a few Sioux tools being used. Those tools are built like a tank and can take being used for 8-10 hours a day. We had an air ratchet that was old when I started 7 years ago. It’s tightened down and removed many fasteners for leak testing on tens of thousands hydraulic tanks over the years.
I have seen the same. And they got some good designs.
Will say when I got my cp 7125 needle scaler I was disappointed at first but after running a bit with oil she Woak up quick.
All this beans talk, glad you had Eric O. at the end!
Looking forward to the Atlas Copco 7x rivet gun being tested.
Will you be testing air drills and die grinders in the future?
Sioux makes hands down the best air hammers. IR makes the best impacts, and CP best drills. All pneumatic
Don’t be changing the rank of my IR! I already bought it. And it rocks.
Look at the mechanics time saver MTS568, it's only 57 dollars and seems comparable to the IR and Matco. I just got it and my first impressions are positive.
While I appreciate the trigger test for lower power usage and control, nobody buys a long barrel air hammer to do light hammer work. You can buy one of the under $20 hammers for that or you could throttle the air for more control. In a long barrel, impact power is what counts the most with price probably second on that list. You can purchase 3, 5 and 7 of the other models for the price of the Sioux so shops can afford to have a spare. One thing that might be nice to include is air volume usage.
Pretty cool! Comparison with electric rotary hammers maybe? Different tools, but it will be interesting to see how the mechanisms produce different power curves.
Wonder how the m12 palm nailer holds up
Great video. I would like to see the SHINANO SI4120A tested in your next non tool truck .401 video please. It’s quite affordable and is made in Japan so I’m hoping for good things
