I read over the responces, and it occured to me thet mabey i should get a bigger diameter hose, mine is 1/4 inch, could i put a 3/8 in there??? I read the manuel, front and back, but it doesnt say what to do here, only that "exess oil SHOULD be blown out the exhaust ports". The manuel said this thing maxes out at 90 PSI and i had the compressor set at about 75-80 when i was using it. Any more ideas??

Sometimes an impact will just rattle around on the stuck bolt head until it rounds off.

Sounds like your next purchase will be:
1. Breaker bar
2. Cheater pipe
3. Band aids
4. Drill and sharp bits to drill out broken bolts

But just think of how easy it will be for the next guy in the future after you replace all those rustd tight fasteners with new ones?

For those of us that work on stuff often, and have to have a bolt, or nut off now!!, we'd set the pnuematic down and use another method.

That's not to say a bigger hose, or more pressure aren't goint to be REQUIRED to make that thing work, but there are a lot of times the gun aint gonna get it.

In those cases we might just grab a bigger tool, like a long wrench, or the 3/4" drive breaker bar, or biggbutt ratchet and put a 10' pipe over the end that to stand on, thus increasing our available torque (by a lot).

Most of the time when working on old rusty tractors and the like, the next tool I'll grab after the gun is usually going to be the Oxy/acetylene torch. Turn them babies red a couple times, squirt some smoke juice on it and away it comes.


I don't have time to jack around with incidentals, I need to do the job and move on to the next.

Lanse, The longer your hose, The bigger the diameter you will need. Your wrench depends on Air Volume as much as Air Presure. A good way to demonstrate this is to take a drinking straw and blow through it with your mouth, Then cut it in half and blow through it.
You will notice a considerable differince in the amount of effert used to blow through it. Now go to a larger diameter straw and see how easy it is to blow. 3/8 diameter hose will make a big differince in the way your wrench works. And allways remember to drain the water from your tank. Good luck with your tractor and keep the pictures comming! Steve

Yes. You will notice a big difference in your wrench.

Here's a thought: I was working on my truck the other day, using a half-inch IR impact with PLENTY of air (50 horse industrial, 185CFM, at work) and the wrench petered out on me on a muffler clamp. Shoulda wrung that thing offa there without even breaking a sweat.

After mumbling a few incantations and checking this that and the other, discovered that I'd inadvertently bumped the forward/reverse button into "neutral". (In the middle: Not all the way in the Forward position, not all the way in the Reverse position). Pretty easy to do when yer flat on yer (old, decrepit, overweight) back under a truck and workin' over year head.

You need all 90 psi.If you have one of those coiled yellow hoses it ought to work but it would be better on a 3/8.If you have one of those coiled yellow lines,they dont take a lot of abuse.Dont worry about the oil,it will blow it out.Just oil it when you use it and it keeps the rust out of it.I use atf and diesel mixed.90 psi is kind of to protect the people that made it for some reason.My compressor is set at 125 and thats what I run it at.About the only thing that has problems is my Harbor Freight sanding board.You might want to get an allen wrench and check the bolts that hold it together and make sure they are tight.Then up your pressure to 90,and make sure it stays at 90 when the gun is running.Then I bet you will see a difference.

Lanse I dont want to offend you but I think that there is something simple that you are not doing.
I had bought a cheap husky compressor/ tool set a while ago came with a 1/4 hose and it ran all the tools fine. Does your blow gun work good, does the compressor built up pressure good.Set the regulator to the max pressure suggested, then run a bolt through something tighten it up as tight as you can with a wrench and see if it will take it off. you have 2 gagues one shows the tank pressure the other the output pressure but I assume you know this, mabey post a pic of your setup?
