What air impact gun or air ratchet do you suggest? I have been thinking of going this route.

I have Dewalt 1/2in electric impact that kicks ass. I use the air-rachet, no-name brand to run up stuff I can't get to with the impact. My compressor is small, but the air rachet works descent on it. I'm debating right now, get a bigger compressor or a new gas grill, bottom of my grill fell out.

I am new to impact guns, ratchets all that stuff. When you use them, will they break and torque a bolt to where you do not have to hold onto the nut your tightening to?

you need a grill.

It's impossible to live without a grill. Almost as hard as living without a Jeep.

I got a real easy solution... drop the JK off at my shop, and pay me $100/hr to do it for you. Have a coffee!
