Where do u oil?

[Johnnysshop]

@jessegarcia123 Depends on the tool, model, etc.. This one has a little hole for it.

[Raphcoll]

how much nm or ft/lb does it have

[Johnnysshop]

@Raphcoll Kinda low.. I think 250 maybe?

[Nagichim23]

Show it in action, more revving!!!

[wheely132]

We have the earth quake from harbor freight, I believe we got it in 2005. Still going strong!! They are worth the money.

[Johnnysshop]

@wheely132 Good to hear!

[wheely132]

@Johnnysshop Yep! Have you tried the earth quake yet?

[Johnnysshop]

@wheely132 Not yet, I may have to pick one up!

[wheely132]

@Johnnysshop Do it! Never had a problem! Haa it has never failed on us!

[Johnnysshop]

@wheely132 I actually ended up just picking up a Kobalt at Lowes with 3yr warranty on sale for $19.99! Picked up an air ratchet as well.

[Mooseboy240]

@Johnnysshop they are sooooo badass

[museken]

Anyone with understanding, know anything about Klutch Impact Wrenches? There's an IR on Amazon I'm interested for about $130.00 but the Klutch with more power is only about $90.00 out the door I have IRs..And A Husky(week). Northern Tools seems to be pretty good stuff through my experience but Pneumatics area different technology. I'm looking for a Knuckle bleeding, tough hided in extreme cold ." God dam it , who designed this car."(talks to himself working)..SOB for this response, Thanks.

[trixy07]

it even made him loose his train of thought.. loads of back pressure

[Johnnysshop]

@trixy07 LOL.. It wasn't a rip!

[NateDoner]

holy smokes did you let one rip at 0:49

[Johnnysshop]

@NateDoner LOL.. No.

[rototumasi]

@Johnnysshop I think someone dropped a chalupa.

[Johnnysshop]

@rototumasi LOL

[aviomaster]

I paid for it 29.99 $ ... This is super tool .. light and powerfull ...

I would not recomend it for car wheels...

[spazmoso]

i grabbed a crafstman combo impact wrench,air hammer and a 3/8 impact wrench for 49.99.couldnt pass it up it seems as though the tools are decent prices but the attatchments are what kill you.harbor freights tools are getting much better than they used to be,but i cant go there cause all my projects go way over budget cause i cant just buy what i came for

[Johnnysshop]

@spazmoso $49 is a great price. I would have picked it up too!

[mjcorp7652]

Couldnt find that model number on the site. I am assuming you meant ITEM 94802-0VGA?

[Johnnysshop]

That's the one! On the box it just has 94802.

[MrBandit420]

@mjcorp7652 the ovga is just an online code. the store item numbers are between 3-5 digits long.

[BADFASTMOTORSPORTS69]

I love harbor frieght

[liveforrock1]

the car can be off the ground if you use an impact wrench

[Johnnysshop]

Yep, makes it so easy!

[coondogtheman1234]

I love these things vroom vroom love the sound it makes.

[jschirr]

2 more questions:

are you using 1/2" or 3/8" hose?

can you take off lug nuts once the wheel is off the ground (and you havent loosened it first)?

[Johnnysshop]

Actually I'm only using 1/4". Yep, it will take them right off without loosening.

[jschirr]

what is the size of your compressor? Ive thought of buying one of the larger torque wrenches but im not sure the compressor can run it.

[Johnnysshop]

It's a Craftsman that I've had for about 18 years (xmas gift when I was around 15). 15 gallon, 3.5HP. I think it's 9.8CFM at 90PSI. The HP sounds small but the CFM is the most important rating and these older compressors were a bit more conservative on the HP ratings. Unfortunately anything made overseas can put whatever HP rating they want as long as any model of that compressor has put that HP out at any given time, which they call "Peak" HP. Same goes for anything electric made overseas.

[lovemym16]

You have a good point about the overseas electric tools, Ive got two of the same Kawasaki 1/2 7.5 amp impact wrenches and they both seem to perform to different specs. they a great tools for the price $45 at Pepboys will zipp lugs right off but the other seems to want to impact for a few seconds. They are rated at 235 ft-lbs but only the older one seems to be there

[Johnnysshop]

Yeah, it kinda sucks. Same goes for anything made overseas. Car amps are a very common item that is fudged. They can put whatever power rating they like on the amp for the most part. Basically if they made 1 million amps and had one that hit the rated power for at least 1 second they are able to list it.

[Joygear]

I was thinking about recommending one of these to a friend and its good to know it works OK. Myself I use my 1/2" kind of heavy and own a Matco and Chicago. I picked up a all alum HF 3/8" and for small stuff (ATV and Motorcycle) but trigger was too quick stripping and breaking stuff. I now have a KOBALT 3/8 from Lowes and it has a trigger like this one and is the nicest one I ever used. Does this have a variable trigger?

[1G0TP1NK8C1DB00TS0N9]

ooo, look at that big impact wrench. I have one of those, but its not a cheep china is a industrial model. Anyways I was going to say that my current compressor is just too small, its only a home use unit and does not have near the amount of CFM power needed to run an imact wrench. I can run a air rachet though :P I need to get a second air compressor and tie it into the first one so i can double my CFM.

Thats what my air rachet does, hand tight. Thanks for sharing!

Peace :)

[Johnnysshop]

I thought about getting a good one but I only use it to take off wheels, etc... I had a Bluepoint/Snap on long ago but sold it. Wish I still had that booger.

[1G0TP1NK8C1DB00TS0N9]

Yep only idiots sell the good tools, no offence I like you dude, just saying LOL. Naa, I am sure you were tight for money at that time and thats why you sold it. Good air tools cost around $150 and up

[Johnnysshop]

Wasn't tight for money but I sold it for $300 so I couldn't pass it up! It was a very pricey one when new. I never used it much.

[1G0TP1NK8C1DB00TS0N9]

WOW, you must have been one happy lil dude after that sale. Did a victory dance and said whos the man ha? Whos the man! JOHNY!!! :D
