Low weight and small size makes it a joy to use. This thing has an insane amount of power for the size. Tons and tons ofpower for that little thing.

Cons
The torque capability of this gun is seriously over rated. The drive anvil is far too oversized. The socket over the retainer and o-ring is too steep.
Customer service is trash and amazon refuses to warranty this since it’s been past 30 days. This 1822 model could of been purchased at other vendors at a cheaper price with free shipping. Sent them both back for refund.
Highlights
Quality
I mostly use it for brake calipers now and am careful with the torque settings.
I paired this tool with the nano impact sockets and it got the job done!
Jb tool say you need contact with the manufacturer company for warranty .
I've been reading that many shops are pleased with the performance of astro tools.
Competitiveness
Compared to mac tool mini air gun, it is a quarter of th3 price and will do the exact same work.
Very durable and compact to deliver a lot of umph in a tight area.
