smokinv8 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 These are mine old school Chicago Pneumatic. CP734 - 1/2" Torque rating 576Nm (425ft.lbs) CP772 - 3/4" Torque rating 1356Nm (1000.lbs) An air chisel/hammer, and an air drill. My spray stuff and die grinders live in a different drawer. The air compressor I run now is a SIP jobbie 14CFM and tbh I'm yet to have it struggle. I keep meaning to ask....What is the purpose of having a "small" peice of air hose between the tool and the main air line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdderlyOffroad Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I keep meaning to ask....What is the purpose of having a "small" peice of air hose between the tool and the main air line? Stops the vibrations from the tool prematurely wearing the quick connect coupler out. It does make a difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CwazyWabbit Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Yep, defo makes a difference especially on tools like needle scalers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L19MUD Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Only just seen this thread but I will add to the IR recomendation. I bought a 2131A which I guess is slightly less powerful than the ones you are speaking about earlier. £130 on the bay brand new. It is AMAZING! Wheel nuts on a TK bedford that had not been touched for 10 plus years came off like my old Sealey one would take off Fiesta wheel bolts! I took off half the wheel nuts on one wheel with the air tool and half with a 4 foot breaker bar as a test. They were very very tight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
