I assure you, you are completely wrong as to which brands are produced by Ingersoll-Rand. The IR name is NOT a "higher brand name" for CH or husky. IR makes IR branded tools, some of the Sears line(you can tell which ones because they look exactly the same as the IR 2131 etc), MAC air tools, and Snap-On air tools. They DO NOT MAKE Campbell Hausfield tools. They (IR) make a line of cheap chinese (or Korean) produced tools called "powerforce" by IR. These are what they are, cheap chinese air tools. You may get a good one, you may get a crappy one. Most likely a crappy one if you plan to use it for anything besides tinkering around. The quality control is basically non-existant for these off-shore produced tools. All of the other brand-names mentioned (IR line, Snap-on, MAC, Sears) are made in the Athens, PA facility that has been there since the days of the very early Railroads (which is how/why the impact wrench was invented) I can assure you I am correct on all of this, as I am head of the Metallurgical Lab for the Athens facility.
