    You're gonna love the light, I've slowly been replacing my fluorescents one at a time, they're so much brighter and work without having to warm up in winter

    For 10ish bucks you really cant go wrong. Obviously dont expect snap on or ingersoll quality but its lasted me 2+ years light but very regular use

    I have a set of hf ones and ingersol ones. The hf ones do fine with my little 30 gallon but I can only use it for so long before the compressor has to catch up. The ingersol needs a bigger compressor. My dads 60 gallon barely keeps up.

    I’d seriously look at the new cordless ones from Milwaukee. Pricey but cordless with no bogging and no air hose. Be my next investment even though I love dewalt.

    Honestly never seen one come back, I'm a logistics manager so I see what gets put on the shelf and I see the things that get sent back. Ive never heard anyone say anything either way, but since launch weve probably sold ~100 from my store, but never seen one come back

    Havent had any time at all with a titanium, but as i said before they're in high demand and I've never seen one returned, I highly recommend the vulcan though, 2 years and it hasn't seen a project it couldnt tackle

    When I go to work today the icon sockets are being released in store, they seem extremely nice for the price point. Same with the wrenches, I met a guy that said his boss wouldnt let him use pittsburgh( airplane mechanic) but the ICON he didn't have a problem with

    Why do you even have that Chicago Electric one even listed?

    It should be like this:

    Vulcan>Titanium>....

    Chicago Electric.
