Message and am more than pleased with them. My impact comes with a built in oiler, so I don't have to oil it all the time. It wasn't cheap (about $400 for the impact, $250 for the air ratchet, etc.) but I've been through FOUR of those impacts that come in a "kit" (one was a Blue Point, shockingly) and decided to break down and buy one that I won't have to replace for a VERY long time. I use them a lot, but I also take care of them, oiling often, and I have a air and water filter on my compressor.

I used to recommend craftsman air tools, but from what I've read online, they haven't held up all that well since they went from being manufactured in the USA to made in China now.
