I’m surprised battery powered tools are said to work nearly as well as I hear. It’s certainly not the case with drills that I’ve used… my corded drills have always been way more powerful than my expensive cordless ones!
After doing more reading - I see guys talking about having broken their breaker bars on these nuts.
When I get the right socket, I think I'll buy an impact gun. I only have a small compressor that does 2.4 CFM at 90 PSI. Not sure if that will be enough. Or I could go electric.
It's very interesting.
First, I've seen more than a few people claim their battery-powered impact gun could loosen a fastener that their pneumatic couldn't budge. I also found a few posts where people claimed 3/4" impacts wouldn't move the nut but a 1/2" would.
Both go against what I thought I understood - but maybe people are comparing different grades of tools?
Some are battery powered in that chart. Also most guns are rated for 90-100 psi so while you may be able to use them a little at 150, keep a rebuild kit on hand.Keep in mind, those numbers are using 150 PSI so you'll need a compressor that can output that much to get the same results.
