they will get the job done for weekend projects if that is what you are looking for. i have a few of there air tools for my home garage and they get the job done. i dont have hte impact gun though. i have my old mac gun i brought home from work.

I have the 734H but haven't used it much yet - just used it to get the lugs off when I replaced my snows. Had no problem with it mated to my cheap, undersized Canadian Tire compressor (4.1 cfm @90, 5 gallon). Thought about getting an Ingersoll Rand 231C but the CP uses a little less air so it seemed a better match to my comp. In general CP make decent tools; they've been around for quite a while and have a solid reputation. You'll have no trouble getting rebuild kits if/when the tool needs it. OTOH, most people rave about IR stuff so if you have an adequate compressor and a few more dollars you might want to go that path.
Just stay away from the CH, HF, Chiwanese stuff if you don't CFM's to spare.

Sounds like you came to the same conclusions I did when deciding which wrench to buy. It's reassuring to hear that it's been working well for ya. So far the only thing I've broken it out for has been the bolts on the lower rad support that I switched out last week. 2 of the 6 were really slow going by hand but the impact knocked them off easily. I'll be doing some front end work soon so I'll know whether my set is up to the job when I try to bust the axle nuts.

Barnone: Have you ever tried Proto stuff like ratchets? It's incrediable stuff...for some reason highly priced in Canada so I bought the stuff from the States. Maybe because the sinking US Dollar? Who knows.
I've replaced my stuff with Proto...they make good impact sockets too. For air i'm probably going with Dvair or Speedaire for my new compressor
I tried to drill out the exhaust manifold stud on my car, but I snapped the drill bits. I couldn't go in on a perfectly straight line, without lifting the engine..so I just left it.
