So the debate continues. Before one says "my new brand-A is so much better than my old brand-B" I have a question. Who compares a new LML dmax to an antique ford 7.3idi? No one does! Get the latest of both brands and compare, test drive a 6.7 powerstroke and an LML dmax before you say one or the other performs better!
Take an IR 2135TiMAX and a NitroCat 1200-k
Compare operating pressure and cfm consumed. As the old saying in the race world goes, "there's no replacement for displacement" less cfm = less power.
One mfg claiming their gun can loosen a fastener torqued to 1100 ft-lb vs. the other claiming 1295 ft-lb is pure marketing hype, just compare "BPM" blows per minute.
Take both brands for a test drive!
Please don't take this as me giving a f*** which brand tools you buy, I just don't care for unfair comparison in any market.
IR has never left me down and I've done quite a few side by side comparisons. The specs that matter do show themselves in performance.
