Are air tools worthless now?

[HALLETT BOY]

It’s still a lot quicker to fire up the air compressor and start working, then it is to charge a dead battery

@Shlbyntro , oddly enough, Honda and Duramax crank bolts...even a 3/4 Milwaukee electric won't budge them! Serious Loctite from hell and torqued by a gorilla

Get a socket with more mass…ingersoll makes ‘em and the truck brands…Honda crank bolts come out much easier.

This.

I have a special very heavy wall 19mm socket (Lisle) just for Honda. I also use an Ingersoll titanium 2235timax air gun with great success, it's a beast!

It took me a long time to figure that out. Have some gnarly 1/2 an 9/16ths 3/4 drives...handy for BIG Cummins stuff. Sometimes overkill scares them loose

Start sleeving pipe over a socket and weld all that shit together....DIY. It works well. Kinda like how if an impact won't budge something, if you grab the socket and pre-load it so it can't rattle, things will come apart. This is similar in the mass of the socket limiting the "retraction" so the next impact is doing more than just taking up the slack from the clearance...and of course having 5 times the inertia.

Aren’t air tools better when working around flammable liquids? I seem to remember a pit stop situation when a cordless spark a fire.

brushless stuff doesn't (shouldn't) spark....

Is there an electric version of this that works?


I use it a lot.

I gave up when my 60 gallon compressor failed. Now I just buy the cheap Harbor freight 2-3 gallon to fill air in the tires, and blow out dust.

If you have a facility with a good compressed air system piped (doesn’t leak and always running) through out the build, air tools can’t be bet. They are usually 1/2 the weight of electric versions, and easier to control in most cases. The problem is, installing a compress air system costs a lot more than an electric equivalent.
