impact gun - Toyota Yaris Forums

Bluevitz-rs · 09-10-2015, 03:16 PM

I have all Makita 18V tools so I got myself the small ½" impact gun. Best investment I ever made for working on the car or anything with fasteners. With that said, it does not have mega bolt snapping power of my air gun. And even if I have to use my air gun on an axle or crank bolt (usually the two hardest to remove bolts on a car) my tiny 1hp ½ gallon compressor that only goes to 110 psi is enough to get the job done.

I've found that the biggest restrictions in any compressor system is the regulator. Even when maxed, it will limit flow because they're usually fed by a ¼" line. A bypass to get full unrestricted flow out of the tank will make night and day performance difference out of any air tool.

I speak from experience.
