The Thunder Gun will rattle out almost any old rusty bolt or spin off almost any nut you can put it on. The ones that are stuck really good, well it will twist them off. I have had it twist several 1/2" and a few 5/8" bolts that were rusted in solid.
I use this gun for work on big rigs and farm tractors. Can't beat it for the money. Just be sure to upgrade your hose and fittings to give it plenty of air.
The only downfall is that it uses alot of cfm at load. It will tap a smaller compressor if you are using it heavily.

I've had mine for years. I got it from Sears ebay store for a ridiculously low price. There may be guns with more power, but I haven't run across anything it would not take off, including a completely messed up suspension nut. Rather than stop it just finished stripping the threads and off it came. I have friends with plenty of their own tools that want to borrow it all the time.Ingersoll-Rand 232TGSL 1/2-Inch Super-Duty Air Impact Wrench Thunder Gun, April 18, 2011

Bought this for my husband. He got a bigger air compressor and he wanted a bigger impact gun. He says that it works great. It has a lot of power and makes quick work of loosening up even the most stubborn of screws/nuts. Make sure you grease it every couple of days if you use it daily. He greases it every day because he uses it a lot.Great impact gun, November 13, 2010

This being my first impact gun I decided to go with Ingersoll Rand and the debate was between the thunder gun and the TiMax. Being a weekend mechanic I decided the TiMax was more for a professional working 8 hour days with the gun.The Thunder gun is close enough to the TiMax in torque power for my needs. It is much heavier but again I'm not holding the gun for any extended amount of time so the weight is a non-issue. It has enough torque to zip a lug nut that is torqued to 110 ft lbs off in less than a second. The lug nut is spinning freely before I realize the trigger has been fully pulled. Putting lug nuts back on using the forward torque setting is a breeze. I was able to dial in the forward torque to put them back on at around 80 ft lbs then use my torque wrench to get them at 110. It has been convenient to be able to go from full power in reverse to half power forward with just a switch of the button. If you need full power in forward it is easy to turn the dial also. I have a 6.5 HP 35 gallon compressor and can remove / install all 4 wheels without the compressor having to kick on to recover. It does kick the compressor on when trying to break a Really stuck bolt. Holding the trigger for several seconds at a time really sucks the air down, at 10cfm @ 90 psi my compressor so far has kept up just fine.
The protective yellow boot is a nice touch and has kept the gun from sliding on my garage floor and getting scratched up when I drag it around. However the nice yellow boot just seems to absorb grease and grim and mine is now mostly black. I tried cleaning it after each use hoping to keep it nice looking but it just didn't happen. It's not a big deal for me but worth mentioning to people hoping to keep a nice bright yellow boot, it will be a hassle.
That Nascar sound is awesome and makes me smile and just pull the trigger to hear it still all the time. It may not be exactly the Nascar sound but I'm not enough of a Nascar fan to be that picky, it sounds awesome. Anyone who hears it comments on how awesome it sounds. That's not much of a reason to buy a tool but anything to make you smile and enjoy working on your cars is a plus.
I had a small air leak as others mentioned which was a disappointment for sure to have an air leak right out of the box. I added a quick release fitting and thought it was the fitting I had added at first. I was able to quickly confirm it was the factory air fitting when I saw air/oil bubbles seeping from the threads. Removing the factory fitting and adding teflon tape only took a second but should not be needed with a flagship tool of such a respected name brand.
Overall great impact gun with a few minor flaws which I feel don't justify the loss of a star, you won't be disappointed provided your compressor can keep up.
