Ive got at least 4 1/2 impact guns (air) and the ones I drag out the
most often..are the Black and Decker/Harbor freight 110vt impact guns.

O.K. I'm reading that two ways. I presume that you mean:

"Four 1/2 inch impact guns"

and not

"Four-and-one-half impact guns"

:-)

Enjoy,

Biggest ones I saw was a 2", but it was hydraulic. It was to put on 6" or
thereabouts nuts on a BOP stack or a Hydril on an oilrig. It was rigged up
like drilling tongs, hanging from a chain, and having a chain dead manned
off so it wouldn't send the holder of the device into orbit. They were few
and far between, it was usually a BIG hammer and a hammer wrench. A long
process for two guys, any way you cut it.

This is a 2.5 inch impact that I sold:

This very impact wrench is also pictured in the Wikipedia article on
Impact Wrenches. I uploaded its picture compared to a small impact.
