Impact wrench and air compressor

[Scott S]

I have a 15 gallon air compressor 5.1 cfm @90 psi and I am looking to purchase 1/2 drive impact wrench to use about twice a year, to rotate my tires.. this is the impact wrench I was looking at.

1400 ft. lbs. is overkill for lug nuts and your small compressor.

My air tools have pretty much been retired by battery powered tools.

My batteries would go dead for as often as I use them...

Thank you maybe this would be better.

That tank is too small to run that gun. Get a ir231 or an earthquake gun

5cfm runs my IR 2235timax without issues. Even removes Honda crank pulley bolts with the dampened socket.

Is this any better? I'm not looking to spend the money on an IR..

To run it continuously, maybe. I use an impact with my modest 13 gallon compressor and it works fine.

If you just want to rotate tires, this is more than sufficient:

Amazon is currently OOS but they’re usually $100. I have one and it is excellent.

I'd get the first one listed if you will only use it twice a year. You might have to wait a minute after each tire for the compressor to recover, but so what. Can you raise the pressure to 120 or 150 psi on the compressor?

It's an old CH impact I got from Wal-mart way back when, 450 ft-lb. Although it's beyond the meager 3.5 CFM rating of my Craftsman compressor, it does fine for rotating tires or breaking the crank pulley bolt off on my Pilot. Short bursts are no problem.

Yeah it shuts off at 125psi

Might be adjustable.

Good reviews on that little thing!! Might need a little 3 in extension..

Vevor is manufacturing EVERYTHING under that name. 99% of it seems to be Chinese copies. Are their air tools any good? I'm skeptical.

Look at vevor.com and you'll see fireplaces, coffee makers, tools, snow shoes, Christmas decorations and more. Not kidding.

I modify a bunch of their electrical cabinets for a local company. And I have a differential case spreader from them (never used it but was very affordable).

Who makes case spreaders and coffee makers and snow shoes????

 

[totegoat]

No more than I use it, 1/2" drive from HF works just fine.

Cordless impact. I have a 60 gallon 5 HP two stage compressor. And several pneumatic impact wrenches. But almost always use my Milwaukee M18 Fuel impact wrench.

Same here. I found out from a phone call to a Streamlight technician in regards to my Streamlight Stinger battery. He said batteries love energy and those were the words he used. He recommends keeping the battery on charge 24/7.
