How do you guys set up an air line for your impact guns?
Dad has a Harbor Freight Brand 1/2 impact- it always was wimpy. By my research, it is probably one of the ones that makes 250-400 lbs of torque. Today I bought the highest torque 1/2" at sears- rated at 700 Lb. Well, It still wouldn't remove the bolts for the wheel bearings on my 3/4 ton Chevy, still had to wrestle with a Breaker bar and pipe- only took 2'. Now, I only weigh 175, How Could I exceed 700 Lbs force on 2' of pipe? I can't.
My air line is 3/8", with the larger couplers, going through a filter/ regulator unit. It's set for max flow, but is it possible that regulator is too restrictive for running an Impact gun? I'd like to know how others have set up their air lines for their Impact guns- my setup seems to suck.
By the way- The new impact sounded healthier than our old Cheap-o, but didn't seem to make any more power.
I'm at a loss. It sure would be nice to have the Impact guns run properly- could probably save lots of time fixing stuff rather than wrestling things like we always have. -Andy
