Dude, firstly, as other people have already pointed out - there's no way to attenuate the wrench's speed in reverse (save softly squeezing the trigger, or lowering the tank pressure), and secondly, WTF are you doing operating that gun at ~142 psi?!?!? And if the exhaust note is your "proof" that Kamasa operated the IR at "lower pressure", well, then - yeah...I'm guessing they did, too.
Kamasa is not testing it against the TIMax if you look. They are testing it against a model with a different forward/reverse trigger, it's one that has about 550 lb/ft iirc, not the 780 which the timax has.
Yea I think your right , there shouldn't be any problems. I think ill run mine around that PSI too, way more power!!! nice! Anyways Ive heard that most shops don't even use 90. Most of them use 120, 140,160.... Thanks!
Hi, I have the same IR 2135timax impact gun. I was wondering if it is SAFE to run the gun at 140 psi like you did??? The reason I ask is because, i taught the max psi to use for that gun was 90psi. Thanks
@fastjdm I think 90psig is the max reccomended pressure via the manufacturer.... as far as max Safe pressure... I have no idea. I have never had any problem with mine running at this pressure.
Question, I bought the 2135timax and when I hook it up to the air line there is a slight hissing sound (like an air leak) coming from within the handle and NOT the NPT fitting itself. Is this normal?
@620JK I don't believe so. My gun doesn't leak at all. How much pressure do you have it connected to? Does the leak itself worsen with movement of the trigger?
I think that test was rigged too. I have the snap on mg 725 and I still borrow my coworkers four year old IR. It's ridiculous how much power the IR packs. Mg725 won't even brake loose a Honda crank bolt. =(
Hi I just got myself one of those IR Guns I did my research and found out they were one of the best and usually cheaper than the snap-on. My question is how do you maintain tour IR gun. Thanks
@Thegarmendia I believe the instruction manual said to use pneumatic tool lube to oil it every day (or before each day of use). If you keep the insides from corroding by keeping water out of your air system and oiling the tool you should be just fine. thanks.
@Thegarmendia I live in an area with high humidity. I drain my 60 gal compressor tank every time the compressor runs. It usually has about a cup of water in the bottom every time. So drain the water out of the compressor often to try to prevent corrosion.
@dewan247 ive had mine for three years it starting to get loosie goosie now but still dont miss a beat i still reach for it in my box over my snapon im6100
Is this impact wrench strong enough to remove the spindle nut without unstaking it on a honda. How do you like this impact gun. I bought a 725ft lbs Craftsman and then returned it today because it was not strong enough.
@kzkevin888 Kevin, I really am not sure how tight a spindle nut is on a honda but, this impact puts out as much torque as you could safely channel through a 1/2" drive socket with out tearing up sockets. If I need more torque than what this IR 2135TiMax puts out, I definitely would not be using 1/2" drive sockets. I know that Craftsman is not the best at pneumatics. This impact (2135) throws out 780Ft/Lbs of torque. I run it at 140psi so it might be putting out even more than 780ft/lbs.
@novakane87 thanks for this post, because i just purchased the exact same gun and was wondering if it could be used with more than 90 psi and what would happen if it was. It seems ok. and it will put out more than 780ft.lbs at a higher psi.
@kzkevin888 So if the nut your talking about could be broken (loose) with a half inch impact, then this is an impact that could do it. But it requires even more torque than this to loosen the nut, then I would get out a breaker bar and a pipe. That would be your cheapest way out.
@kzkevin888 thats why you dont buy crapsman.i bought one of the ones your talking about and put it on a torqmeter (from snapon) and it only registered 400 foot pounds with 175 pounds of air.then the valve blew apart.i put my old (worn out as the guy i work with told me.same guy that told me to buy crapsman)ir and it turned out 618 foot pounds and the claim was 425.then i bought a new ir and it turned out over 835 foot pounds claim was 650.
@kzkevin888 i take of crankshaft bolts with this gun on 1.5 and 1.6 hondas all day without holding the damp still ..... if you guys ever done timing belts or any water pumps head gaskets..... well you get the drift .. you know it can be a bicth some times
@kzkevin888 I would say it would rip off a Honda axle nut with out unstaking it, ive done it lots of times. its a really good gun. if it dont take off the nut your working on, its gona be broken. (trust me)
to be fair its not the same gun as in the other video but im pretty sure there was still some trickery involved with either the pressure or power selector switch.
What kind of compressor do you have?

There are no speeds for reverse, at least not any gun I have ever used. Just thought I'd point that out.

@fastjdm yea it is ok to use that much pressure. i run my 2135 TiMax on 155 max Psi from my kobalt compressor. it actually gives it more power.

@fastjdm once you run the gun, and after all the hose and coupling lost, its not quite 90psi anymore if the compressor is at 90

That's 1.5x rated pressure, it's unnecessary stress on the tool.

how long have you had this gun and how often do u use it.
Note: the internals of Ir are the exact same0 as snap on, the numbers of the parts are the same just reversed order.
