I would have paid that much for one (but my wife wouldn't let me) last year 
when I was trying to get the crank bolt off my Honda.  My half inch 
Craftsman/IR wouldn't budge it.  The oxy/acetylene torch heating followed
by the Impact wouldn't budge it.  Finally had to go and rent and industrial
3/4 impact, and it finally got the bolt free...

Renting it for those twice a year jobs makes sense - but I'd still rather
buy my own...    8-)    8-)
