Buy an impact get a free battery. My first battery impact.

You'll never want to drag an air hose around and listen to an oil-less compressor again!

Ya.. I got my ryobi impact wrench, has a lot more power than some of the older air tools I had used in the past.. Ok so my family members had older stuff, but the cordless is just more convenient!!

I borrowed a really small, think it was HF air hammer when I was having issues with my Cummins fan clutch.

Borrowed it again when I was having issues with a stuck nut in a very precarious situation.

Decided it was time to get my own.

Also waiting on a Mayhew hammer attachment. I have a bunch of 20d 4” nails to drive, amongst many others for a roofing project. Need to be the right diameter and length. So I figured I’d try this gun alongside my palm nailer. May help avoid these:

That is a very good tool. The 717 is a very hard hitter and .401 attachments are cheaper and more types are available, it is a little smaller but like the 717 has incredible trigger control and still a big hitter. I would strongly suggest replacing the beehive retainer with a quick change retainer.

That quick change is in shipment. It was just sent separately.

I thought about the 717, but figured even this big one is probably overkill for my skills.

Not 'advertised" torque now, but as far as feel goes, and maybe tighten something with it, and then test it with a breaker bar or wrench?
Does it "feel" pretty powerful?
Looks like a nice made tool!

Sorry I wrote the wrong model first I meant the 714, it should have been this but too late to edit.

The 714 is a very hard hitter and .401 attachments are cheaper and more types are available,

The 717 has too much power for many things, it is like breaking eggs with a sledgehammer but when you need it it delivers the goods, trigger control is everything and nobody does it better than CP.

ya I got it in early 22, before the prices went much higher.. man I'm glad I got it then.. $189 for the entire kit, impact wrench, 4ah high perf battery + charger.

It's the P262 impact wrench, 600ft-lbs of loosening torque and a really cool auto mode! slows down once it realizes the bolt/nut is free.

Lisle "90 degree" boot clamp pliers.

Can't say I've needed this but I could see applications on steering racks in particular.

I like options....

Also got a US made Mayhew hammer. Looks just like a hammer striking face one would buy at the hardware store. I’m excited to use it on a 4” 20d nail!

Is redline air tool oil ok for breakin??

 

[Trav]

No problem at all with the redline air tool oil. Mayhew, Grey Pneumatic, Astro, Ajax are all decent bits. If made in USA is a priority look at Ajax also, they make high quality bits. I have their tie rod and ball joint separators, good stuff and not crazy money.

I ordered 12/30/23 according to my email. Haven't received yet.

They were on intergalactic backorder for some time, and perhaps still are based on the fact I don't have them yet.

BUT they're reappearing in the wild because I have it saved as an ebay search and have been getting emails at least a couple days/week for new listings. For awhile it was crickets, even on ebay.

@SubLGT alerted me to this deal…thank you!

It is a heavy ratchet for its size…but has a very solid feel.

Yours arrived quickly! I ordered one on Nov 23, and I expect it to arrive in a few days. I think it is delayed at a Fedex location in Oregon, because of very icy weather. I also ordered the long version ($64) a few days after Thanksgiving, and am waiting for that to ship from Japan.
