I just called my wife and let her know we are still in the air impact wrench market. She said let's take the other one back, and I brought her up to speed to the fact it is now dripping with air tool oil, and I will have to keep it. This thing won't be well received at the store. It was that darn women with me telling me to go for the cheep air wrench in the first place. I had my boney finger pointing toward the high end wrenches, but the argument that I would only be using it one time wone the debate.

As it turnes out, I never even did get to use it once! Not successfully anyway.

Haaaaa Haaaaa !!! Smile

TalonWomen!!! not me! Smile

There are just some hard life lessons we all must learn.

I just got me one more lesson today.

I should have went with my 'go big or go home' motto on this one.

The up side is I have done no dammage to my fan yet!

Talonwoman-

Always go big or go home! If you can't run with the big dogs...stay on the porch!

Really though. I do hate to see that you are having difficulties. I hope it is isn't foreshadowing for my future swap. At least I can learn from you. If I lived closer I would come over and help you out. How far are you from Indianapolis?

I would love to have an engine buddy living near me. I am new to the entire off road thing. Unfortunatlly I still have a few more lessons to learn than most of the other guys here. I do learn though, and hope to be a force to reckon with on the racing circut some day. I still am in good spirits due to I figured I would get stuck right here. The one thing I didn't want to do was dammage the fan.

I am not sure how long it would take you to get to my house, but there is a good chance I will still be doing the upgrade!

Get rolling man!! I would take the help for sure!

Crank up the psi, who cares if it is only rated at 90psi, max out your compressor!!!!!! Razz

Do you think this one will be ok? All of the rest seem to me a grand, or underpowered!

We have heard that the talon and twister cvt bolts are hard to get off. On the other hand, I have the larger impact wrench from wal-mart... I think it's rated at 350 or something, and I've easily gotten that same nut off of 3 different engines of mine now.

I do regularly exceed that PSI rating though.
