Matco MT3779: www.matcotools... THOR Gen 2: amzn.to/4a7PnmR
Today we test the all new Ingersoll Rand 2236QTiMAX and Matco MT3779 REX impact wrenches. Both come with some major updates that bring along with them some lofty torque specs. So we get to the bottom of things the best we can to try and figure out what's really going on.

As always, the creator of this channel works in product development for Astro Tools, always consider multiple sources when looking at a tool!
Edit: Apparently the new Matco gun is not made by either IR or PTP.
Here's testing the IR with the same air coupler as the Matco: ruclips.net/video/2RlTiLdhwOQ/видео.html
The creator of this channel also works in product development for Astro tools, which includes the 1895 that just got handed a whole lot of whoop ass by the MT3779. The dyno doesn't know what tool's strapped to it, but it's always a good idea to consider multiple sources when looking at a tool!

Was that water dripping from the hose fittings or oil?
@@jjchouinard2327 Air tool oil.
We also used the same Milton V fittings. But some are rightly pointing out that the couplers were different between the two weeks we tested these. Which is a result of our red milton 5 way taking a dump, and needed to use a previous coupler we've used on the channel. But we can test the IR with the same coupler this week and add a link here (ETA Thursday). We've not seen a measurable difference before, but appreciate you guys highlighting this.
If you are in product development, and you test pneumatic and electric impacts.. is there a chance Astro will develop electric tools at some point?
The disconnect between the swappable anvil tips and the hammer is where all the torkems are escaping.
Every slippable contact point of an impact is where beans slip through.
Jack and his magical beanstalk only had one branch to the golden goose, just sayin'
I came to watch this but immediately underneath is a short of a guy shooting oxygen tanks. Sorry.
Guessing you came from Edwin? That guy is nuts and i love it
That sounds like a deeply uninteresting thing to watch. Glad I'm not getting that garbage.
Where is this video you speak of
Just had to go find that video. It’s awesome!
fair honestly
The reason the extension adds power here is because the normal loss of torsional stiffness (as you'd get with thin extensions) is greatly reduced by a hugely thick diameter. Add to that the extra mass which acts a bit like a heavy socket and presto-- more avg torque.
Agreed, matches what we see with attachments so its behaving like a external attachment. Where as we're swapped to extended anvils on old school impacts with no measurable difference.
I’m wondering how a 6” impact extension on a regular tool anvil comps to a 6” IR anvil?
@@TorqueTestChannel now weld a bunch of weight onto the hammer assembly then transplant it into a milwaukee
@@TorqueTestChannel I'm curious to see what would happen if they made a weighted extension
You have to put in the anvil yourself. That's how they can state "assembled in USA" you did the final assembly
Seems about par for the course for IR to me. I used to work for IR air compressor division and every new iteration seemed to be less reliable and worse than the last. They seem like a company complacent in resting on their history.
Every old company is like that nowadays. I have a cool waterproof Fluke multimeter and it has bad connections where the test leads plug into. It’s just a bad design. I live with it because I’m not measuring super precise stuff at work and I didn’t pay full price.
IR compressors were really rough for a long time. Atlas not much better and getting worse. I started using Compair and they went downhill, last lot were HPC (Kaeser) and much better. Glad I'm retired.
Wurth stopped using their ones rebranded for similar reasons I think
I feel you, brother, master Ingersoll Rand compressor technician here. Over 20 years with the company split my share of SSR 100-350s worked with the old XLE and PHE . I loved the company, but from 2000 to 2010, Ingersoll Rand basically sold their souls if you asked me. Crap Weg motors from china,the #$@ $#@% Nirvanas about destroyed our relationship with our customers. It's a complete shame because they ran off all their good technicians and ran the line in the dirt. I have all IR tools and compressors for my shop but old tools. Hell the Type 30 was the best line ever made but as you know they ruined that as well. Sad 😔
I got bahned for some reason by mentioning an American company whose initials are SB but they still make their very nice pumps in the US. I scored a couple used ones dirt cheap because they had three phase motors (no problem, I have an RPC) and it's convenient to be able to get parts.
I got the Matco when they were still new on the trucks a few months ago. It is now the most powerful impact in our shop and it’s been fantastic.
Years ago SnapOn offered a splined anvil impact wrench, didn't work then either.
you can get most of the domestic brand impacts that are 1" square drives in what the industry calls #5 splined anvil, and a bunch of companies make spline drive sockets, its mostly used in the petrochemical industry.... i worked in the pneumatic tool business for 20yrs, i retired about 9 yrs ago.
IR: "Hey, thanks for making this for us China, would you like credit on the packaging?"
China: * looks at backwards controls * "No, you guys go right ahead"
But it's assembled in USA: because you were in the USA when you assembled the anvil that China left left loose in the box.
This was the comment I was looking for. Thanks man you made my day 😂
I for one appreciate the appearance of air tools; I haven't yet been fully converted to cordless...
I’m looking at these and wondering if I should be looking at air tools more :)
@@gf2e Depending on your exact use case, that might not be a bad idea... My two cents
In a shop environment where there's alrealdy an air supply, I still think it's a no-brainer, despite the power density of batteries. I feel that by and large, pneumatic tools still provide a better combination of size, power, and and durability for a price as despite living in a very rust-prone geographic location, I have yet to come across a chassis bolt on a passenger vehicle that my decade old sub-$200 air-impact won't chew right through given a decent air supply.
If the air line pisses you off, plumb an extension directly onto the tool to reduce the number of fittings around one's hand. I personally use a high quality swivel on the tool, followed by a 12' whip of light-gauge line, connected to heavy lines in the shop. 99% of the time, the reduced flow caused by the whip is still sufficient for the job at hand; and when it's not, temporarily removing the whip is quick and simple.
There are plenty of air ratchets barely bigger than a tube of toothpaste, yet the average battery powered air-ratchet is of similar size to a 15A corded angle-grinder... a light air line that follows your arm will never be an issue if the tool doesn't easily slip in to tight spots.
A small 1/4" battery gun for under-hood work? Sure, I get it, but where I live I'd prefer to break small fasteners free manually, lest the first two kicks of an impact wrench twist the corroded heads right off.
YMMV
What's really crazy about this video is the reminder of just how powerful the dcf900 is...
In forward :P
@@TorqueTestChannel Are forwards numbers not included on the rank chart for BCS? My memory tells me the 900 made 936-942 in forwards
@@slingin_tires they are. But depending on the chart it's only the battery they will include in a kit when tested
@@TorqueTestChannel Understood
That's disappointing for the Ingersoll Rand. I have one I used back in the 70's and 80's. It was, and still is; a very good impact. They really need to do something about those settings being so out of register. A good many wouldn't figure that out, unless they were looking for it in advance. IR needs to take a look at your tests, at the very least. Really a shame.
You changed the air hose quick disconnect between testing the IR and the Matco gun. Different quick disconnects can make a significant changes to air flow to the tool
Yes, which brings up the standard pressure, hose, and connections into the comparisons. Are they stated somewhere? I always use 175 psi for my heavy jobs and know of a heavy equipment shop that had trouble with 3/4" tools and had to upgrade the couplers, hoses and fittings to ensure pressure at the tool were sufficient.
Otherwise outstanding channel and techniques for accurate comparisons. This is why a 45yr veteran engineer and mechanic comes here.
"Be careful with the settings on the 3/8" anvil" proceeds to have backwards power settings that swap around when you flip to forward. Does it come with a decoder ring?
That UX "design" is something I'd expect from a Temu tool. It even has the "multitool" 10-in-1 attachment strat going
I will never nor will i be in a field that requires impact wrenchs, but something about this channel makes it addicting to watch
I do eyeglass repair at the senior citizen center, Finding the adapters to get my 2235 turning screws was tricky but the RPMs have really helped my flat rate numbers.
@NONO-hz4vo Nice! Just a few uggua-duggus.. dont want tweak the frames! 😂
Same 😂
power tool make me feel like GOD
Yeah, I'm in healthcare. I am obsessed with this channel.
Got a dcf 900 because of this channel. Happy to see it's still way up there.
That spline drive is an interesting idea, but they'd need to somehow redesign it to eliminate backlash to avoid the power loss they're seeing because impact wrenches are intermittent tools. Maybe some kind of mild taper with a collar that locks it down into the splines?
The 2135 is a beast bought it almost 20 years ago. Still works great. I'd like it if you tried the cornwell 1 in pistol grip.
I have a 2135qxpa, it was pretty low on power so I ripped out the mufflers in the handle and around the motor, now its one of the most powerful in the shop
@TTC I'm glad to see you're not ashamed to say anything when your products(you workfor\on) are beaten.
But one thing Astro does have a couple things better w\the THOR!
Longevity of product testing & a way better price!
So to me saving some coin & still having a kick ass impact is way better than the newest,cutest girl down on the corner while charging for it. Might as well get some money before the looks go to crap!😅
You should be extremely proud of what you do.
Things like running the gun at realistic shop pressures (130-150) and the charts make this the go to for industry and individuals. Thanks
All this time and effort and only now is matco first of any to barely edge out the astro for 3x the price at that. What is going to be their next major flagship impact?
The "issue" that causes higher performance in reverse at the low setting is not really an issue. The regulator reduces performance in forward by bleeding live air to exhaust which it cannot do in reverse. However, every 2 direction air motor requires what is called a secondary exhaust path which is incorporated into the reverse valve. This creates an air path from the non-driven side of the motor to exhaust which prevents recompression of air as the air chambers on the non-driving side of the motor compress. The forward regulator in the lowest setting allows for increased secondary exhaust flow, which increases performance. Not sure how you set air pressure for your testing but if you set it to 90 dynamically you should get close to the rated number, unless IR is rating it with a statistical Max for safety purpose.
You need to get a hold of the dcf860 and dcd1007. They are already available in Asia
I like the idea of the interchangeable anvils, but if im reaching for air, we are in a serious situation, i jeed good power and i am going to just lay into it until the bolt moves, and im not sure if this isnthe gun for that gig.
I still hold to the fact that something asked to do many things cannot do any one of them up to expectations. I wonder if the mass of the extended anvil behaves like a weighted socket.
It would also be interesting to weld the anvil into the new IR and see how much it's really losing
Years ago. Spline Drive guns were pretty common for guns the size of 3/4” and 1” . They had external splines though instead of internal and the sockets all had splined receptacles to match.
I freaking love this channel!
Are you oiling the air tools when you use them? I know it sounds dumb but it helps
awesome video and videos, shame i cant get matco tools in australia, i would love to see you guys do more videos "hotrodding" other air impacts to see the numbers change
Weird how the extended 3/4 in anvil is making more power on the dyno testing 9:00 @Torque Test Channel
Can you swap the 2236 anvil assembly on to the 2235? Or any of your other impacts. I am curious if there's a way to quantify any power loss from the new setup, which I do like.
I got that Matco in purple a few months ago and it kick ass like nothing else. It was expensive but it’s made its money tenfold.
The spline drive would work better on larger guns like 3/4 to 1 inch. Kind of a waste for IR to put it on a half inch gun. Swapping from a standard anvil to a extended anvil or swapping from 1 inch to 3/4 inch would be nice so I won't have large guns taking up the limited space on my service truck.
Perhaps you could touch on the differences between "Made in USA" vs "assembled", buy American, and how those labels are regulated or total scammery.
Oh man, I could talk for a long time on this. But simply Made in USA has to be wholly or virtually all made and processed in the 50 states. If the product is close to raw material in finished state that needs to include sourced materials made in USA as well.
Assembled in USA is one version of a qualified USA product. It requires finish assembly that undergoes as "substantive transformation" and usually should require skilled work and tools or machinery to perform. This was created back when finish assembly would be done in the US due to a more skilled workforce. Now-days it's more often (though not by everyone) used as a loophole as it's less regulated by the FTC, is harder to regulate, and IF you're ever "caught" it's not so much a punishment as a "hey, actually this is wrong, don't do that".
People often think brands only do this for marketing reasons but there's a list of benefits to skating the line.
- HTS codes. You can often bring a tool or product in as parts and pay a lower tariff %, or avoid the current 25% tacked most but not all Chinese products.
- Patents. Sometimes the source country (if they care about these things) has a patent on a product and can't be made there.
- Tax incentives. Counties and states in the US provide tax breaks to companies that employ a skilled workforce or produce US products. You can have a 90% workforce warehousing, shipping, logistics but 10% assembling tools and sometimes this still qualifies.
@@TorqueTestChannelIt’s a bit like Brazil repackaging Japanese electronics, SOMETIMES in a Brazilian-made plastic shell, just to skirt import restrictions. When NAFTA happened all of North America switched to Made in Mexico.
Ford is known for this as well... A certain SUV is made in Mexico & Germany. But assembled in the good ol USA!
Keeps the tariffs down, profit up, & quality below the belt!
UAW finally had enough & went for the throat w\last contract negotiations.
But with the EV fiasco the workers are probably looking at becoming more & more a couch potato 😢
@@TorqueTestChannel "Made in USA" is definitely a lot looser than you're describing here as well. I previously worked for a Canadian company that made pipe for oil and gas wells. We purchased steel coils from Canadian steel mills, had them slit by a Canadian subsidiary of our company, then sent them to a pipe mill we built just over the border, where the steel slit coils were rolled into pipe. The pipe was then shipped back to the plant I worked at in Canada, where we heat treated the pipe, performed extensive testing on it, threaded the ends for assembly, then shipped it out the door as "Made in USA". Canadian raw materials, bulk of processing done in Canada, but apparently the fact that it became a pipe in the USA was substantial enough for the entire end product to be marked as made in USA. And this wasn't a fraudulent claim on "our" part either, this was signed off on by the US government for tariff and duties.
Just assume everything is made in China, because it likely is.
I got the exact one for my job. I have dubbed it. The PURPLE NURPLE!
Named my rex Barney. Got it on sale and I am not disappointed!
Looks like IR has to come out with a special set of sockets with splines to avoid those energy loosing sloppy seconds.
I just bought the Matco on Monday, so I had a vested interest. Good to see it put in a good showing.
The swapable anvils might be worth a try and if the whole setup is as tough as the old guns it will still hammer away in 15 years. Unlike most cordless guns
I have the matco 1/2“ impact from 5 years ago and have been amazed by the power it makes.
5:47 “and there’s no way to know this without a skidmore or dyno like ours”
Of course there is. Like watching a great channel like TTC. Awesome work boys
I bought the 2779 last year a few months before the 3779 came out, I was a little disappointed that had I waited a little I could have got the new one but in the end I still love the 2779. It’s a beast and gets work done, haven’t ever needed more power from it yet.
I kind of like that "feature" on the IR. You can keep the gun on high for removal and then when you switch to forward its automatically in low for install. Not sure if that is what they were going for, but could be handy
Enjoy seeing versatility innovations like the splined swappable anvil but it seems like it can be tricky to get right. More successful but still a bit reminiscent of the Bosch freak hammer, which was, in its own right, an interesting idea but never seemed to work phenomenally well.
Why did you change air fittings for the two different guns? What brand/ model did you use on them?
Air fittings? We've used Milton V on every air tool since the start.
As for couplers, we used one of the Italian universal couplers we often have since channel start on the IR as we've been having fitment issues on the red Milton 5 in 1. So we've since ordered the all steel milton 5-in1 couplers hopefully they will last longer. We got the viewer's Matco later during shooting so it has that. Both coupler types have a CFM well in excess of the tool, but we still own the IR so would be happy to show it with the same coupler if people like.
The pinned post was updated with a link, FYI
Impressed the purple matc9 passing the dewalt wow almost 900 ft pounds yikes 13:00 @Torque Test Channel
Battery powered tools have their place, pros convenience, weight, air tools are almost indestructible compared to Battery powered, I've dropped thrown air impacts they never die you can even lower a car lift on them and do no damage at all, a battery impact will get crushed. A air compressor and a little oil maintenance the air tool is like a roach it will survive a nuclear event.
Its sad that these expensive and brand new air impacts cant surpass even Dewalt. I think people nowadays get more and more excited about electric and air is for filling up tires
The DeWALT made that torque in forward. Not sure what you guys need 1,000 ft-lbs in forward for
@@TorqueTestChannel I need ALL the torque all the time 😏
Most cordless tools will be in the garbage in 5 yrs, or getting weak.
My ir231 from '89 is as good as ever, and used a lot.
I finally got another, the Astro Thor, because of the high power. Great deal, I expect it to be around for a long time, also.
I think of cordless as almost disposable. Not quite, but the batteries just WILL die.
@@TorqueTestChannel Ever had an axle freeze solid to hub splines? It's not super common but it happens. Using an axle pusher or whatever it's called, you can need all the torque you can get. My 900 has done very well for me
Wow that Ingersoll Rand 2236 speed 1 setting is high and speed 3 setting is low that is strange 4:48 @Torque Test Channel
So they added a not needed gimmick, less performance, and a higher price? The shareholders will be thrilled! Corporate greed in a nut shell.
Isn't the q series the quiet gun? As in muffled down inside? That makes sense. Do they make that gun in a not q series? I'd imagine it would do better
Had the same feeling but this looks to be it
@TorqueTestChannel well that kind of stinks.. I'm on the second anvil of my 2235 ti that's been force fed 140 psi shop air its whole life 8 years or so going strong... but its starting to leak in a few odd places so I was hoping the new one would be at least as good.... the anvil setup is pretty slick... maybe they'll make a non q one at some point
i wonder how VEVORs 1000ftlbs model compares it was first g.u.n and it likes forward
I was looking forward to this review, I planned on getting one. Not so much anymore.
I almost picked one of these up when it got released to finally upgrade my 2135 which I've always loved....in light of this testing, I'm going with a solid meh.
Just checking up from the ball joint press video from about 2 years ago, since I haven't seen anything on snap on for their BJP1 kit I was wondering how it compares to kits from astro and such. Great video with the high speed footage for the attachement details!
Ive been using the astro thor v2 since you guys announced it, pretty happy with it overall. My only complaint so far is just the forward/reverse, I wish it was more like an IR. Sometimes I hit it on accident, might be a me issue though lol
The IR style fwd rev switch can't be beat in ease of use. Maybe cordless but that's it
So I had a matco 2779, and I loved it. I ended up selling it when I bought the 3779 with very high hopes..... after two weeks of being in denial about it sucking, I returned it and purchased another 2779. Another guy in my shop did the same thing.....
Why didn’t you like it?
@DadDaGoat123 I put the 2779 and the 3779 head to head on equally torqued bolts. The new 3779 took nearly twice the time remove it as the 2779. I recently ordered another 2779 as a back up, because I know it won't let me down.
The Rex has proven very strong for me; however I've still had to break out my DCF961 several times. But I can't complain, they're about the best of both worlds! 💯
Air for speed, cordless for max torque
Think for the settings it’s a feature for not over torquing fasteners, especially for lug nuts. Full power on reverse to take off but little power tightening. Also big fan!
That purple matco impact is so pretty, the thor looks nice too. i want more purple and/or matte black tools.
i’m a plumber in fayetteville nc, i actually have done some drain work for the plant in southern pines, they do a lot of their building right here in nc
my theory with the IR backwards thing is that you want full torque in reverse to break something loose and when you put it in forward to install a fastener, you might not want all that torque. so have it be high power in reverse and low power in forward.
I love the idea of exchangeable anvils. Will save a load of space in the toolbox.
Wondering if there’s a way you can get a hold of some master craft tools for the channel to test, I’m sure many of my fellow Canadians would love to see how their power/hand tools compare!
This video reminded me that I haven't touched my air impacts in years now. The interchangeable anvils are cool but not cool enough to go back to air. I hope they stand the test of time and perhaps find their way to other tools.
Unrelated to this video, but an idea for a new video, show with parts on how you upgraded some of those older air guns with new fins, ported, motors, etc.
That Ingersoll Rand 2236 Is weird why install the anvil yourself oh that is neet you can put different size anvils and a Extended anvil kinda cool 1:09 @Torque Test Channel
Looks like I’ll just buy an old ir impact. The 2235 just seems better. Either the old 2235 or I’ll go with matco or aircat. Also can you test the matco raptor?
The 2235 is awesome
We know all about these ideals that they're presenting to you and we know all about how the star system works it's the point of leaving things out when people are trying to take or resell your ideal so if you step back and look what they create and laugh because they didn't know about certain things that you leave out then when their product fails and sometimes fails miserably then and then only do you even laugh harder but step back and look at it through our opinion and you will see what we see but if you don't then the creativity is not been applied to you so have a great life
600 bucks... It they would slap 450-500$ price tag on it they would sell more and make more money quicker as with quality build and numbers like that people would want to try it
They might also lose money in it. Prices aren’t randomly selected.
I have the Thor II and it’s been great. I also got the new Matco stubby, which they claim has 1200 ft lbs. Could you guys test the new Matco stubby MT3765PP?
Honest question, probably viewed as ignorant: why does IR design to not have the same power/torque curve in Fwd, as Rev?
On an air tool it's take from one and give to the other clocking of the motor and things are usually most tough on reverse
@@TorqueTestChannel 10-4, thank you! Keep up the great work and channel
Hi TTC! As far as I remember, "IR" was designing and engineering their composite impact guns to give maximum torque after about 20-30 seconds of work with anvil being stationary (extremely high torque required scenario). At least mine was and still is like that. Please try cranking it a little longer. Thanks.
IR's own testing practices developed with SIOUX tools & Skidmore Wilhelm that standardized this sort of thing doesn't go beyond 10 seconds.
Ive been wondering about that IR for a while, went how i figured.
Make a video testing impact gun mufflers and their effect on performance!
more torque because of longer extension, maybe you twist the steel and this acts like an amplifier.
Couldn't click fast enough! Everybody here at the shop bought the T-Rex impact, as soon as it came out. Good to see it can put out some great numbers.
Thing is a savage yet feels like a puppy dog
I only know Ingersoll rand for the club car side of things grew up around fixing golf carts. So I’m interested in the air tools now
Can you test the Ingersoll rand DSX2 with the DSX2 sockets that IR makes for it?
I wonder if the Matco internals will fit inside other impact guns, like the Old 2235TiMAX.
I have the 3779 Matco in purple. It is an absolute tank of a gun, and I couldn't be more satisfied with it. Use it daily and it has yet to be defeated.
What about line volume? Try a 3/4” hose and quick disco’s
I really want to see you do the kobalt 1/2 and 3/8 in air impacts. I have had my half inch that is rated for 750 ft lb for 6 years I use it everyday at work and has outlasted both my Matco 1/2 impacts. Also you can use matco parts in them as well.My 3/8 has a matco anvil in it.
I haven’t been able to find anyone testing the skil 12v impact wrench in any way, so you think you guys could try that at some point? The mid torque and 3/8 20v would be nice too if you could get to it. Keep it up with the great videos!
Also maybe the ratchet, I have a somewhat unrealistic hope that they might release some more variety in the automotive field if you guys test their stuff.
The new IR gun with the reverse selector with a "Double Check" detent does the position of the dial of power affect that?
Now the one thing I don't see on the IR 2236 is a grease point. Are these ones not able to be greased?
Seems that if they had a reliable way to 'lock in' the splined attachment to keep it from bouncing around at the attachment point, it would probably negate some of that loss. But I imagine that maybe a fair more difficult to keep it reliable and from breaking a the torque levels were seeing now.
What’s better in terms of power? Thor 1896 or ingersoll Rand 2145qimax
As badazz as that Matco is, the Thor is just such a beast for the money.. I just don't see 3× the value coming from the Matco.
The new ir 2236 has its own sockets. Wonder how different the torque output is when using its proprietary sockets
I'd like to see a comparison of the IR 231c and all the rebadges/knockoffs of it!
You should test the new matco rex stubby impact im very curious about it and how it compares to other brands and its old self
My old extended anvil Ti is wore out and giving up recently. My remaining Thunder Gun is also failing hard. I gotta find at least one new TG. And a new workhorse. Currently using some brand I've never heard of that a guy traded me for a used race helmet lol.
Maybe some thicker grease could help tighten the gap between the splines and transfer more torque?
Got mine in purple as well i love it
Try doing some more air tool testing with 1/2 hose
My 2235 at 165 psi sure does the job. Dont think ill be upgrading any time soon. In real world use ive found it outperforms my Milwaukee 2767. Im sure at 90 psi the Milwaukee would win, but lets be honest. Most shops don't regulate their air to 90.
TTC I’ve got a request for you, I would love to see if you can’t up the RPM speed on the Thor gun via new iteration of your previous chainsaw massacre! It would just be interesting to see if you could operate a airgun using the chainsaw!
Matco and Ingersoll Rand for the professionals
I have this matco gun and I love it, use it every day, glad someone finally agrees with me lol all my shop buddies like their IRs
The Matco might have the same regulator defect as the IR. Guy in my shop has the earlier Matco and in reverse it's RPMs are faster on "low".
Just curious, I understand in large truck scenarios where someone might actually need that much power.....but dang, how does it not just break stuff?
