Impact rotary overveiw

Yeah it definately is a more refined design than the rotangi, very good deal too. The finish looks like a lot of work went into it. I'm really looking forward to the pen style as well...

I've been waiting on that Dart since the 3d cad came out and as soon as the soft med hard sliders become available I'm snatching 2 of them up. Todd's machines are amazing.

Great review. I'm sold I need 1 soon!!

how is compared the 3,5 impact to the 4,2 ? i looking for a new machine ( photorealistic style )

the large stroke is going to hit harder -better for 23+ for large fields of grey tones for say a large back leg pieces, for solid block colors,whip shading & for 8-18 liners
the 3.5 is good for every thing else 1-7 liners,shading,blending, layers etc
they both can run can run slow to fast unlike alot of other liners out there that lock up are tend to vibrate to much when volts are cranked

wow thanks i order my impact today :)) that's what I've always wanted without much seasonal
thanks for the great review !!! slicksteel

I was talking with Todd earlier and he told me the 3.5 will do anything and everything and that the 4.2 was made primarily for guys that like to hang a ton of needle. I'm sure you could use it like Michael says for larger mags etc but the low down from Todd is that the 3.5 does it all :)

for sure limey both great strokes that work well with little noise and vibrations-and both can do it all for sure. I like them both!

How about the tension springs what did you get in yours slick the low tension or high tension ?

Bump for info on different spring tensions im thinking the high tension is going to be better for lining and low tension better for color or shading and if you use t tech maybe the low tension is low enough not to add too much resistance i wondwr how the impact runs with t tech and no spring
