Best Ingersoll-rand air wrench for big trucks?

I have a lot of choices but I am not sure regarding what specific model of Ingersoll air wrench should I get. I need one which is tough and sturdy since I am going to use it for trucks, and one which is compact and lighter for emergency use.

Anyone who has experiences with these kinds of wrenches?

    as long as your not talking about for the tires then about any 1/2 of 3/4 drive impact will work. most shops i've worked at provided the real heavy duty stuff and i've found that 1/2 drive is all i've every really needed

    Any thing IR makes is good. Now how big a truck are you going to working on. You may need both a 1/2" and 3/4" impact. The 1/2 inch thunder gun is a good one com-posit body and lots of torque. The 3/4 model 261 is good a little slow but torque wise it has it. I own both and would not trade either. I have abused them both very well. Dint forget a good air drill and a good die grinder and air hammer the CP717 has all you need for tearing things up.

    Good luck I've been working on equipment for going on 22 years.
