not nearly enough torque to do anything u need, spend money on a breaker bar and a long aluminum tube approx. 3 feet in length and ur good to go

or eat some spinach and try and try again

I have that kit, and yea it's not enough torque to break anything. They're good for lightly torqued nuts, I use the driver mostly. You're probably better off getting just a nice gun and the driver (which costs like 30 bucks anyways)

i'd just buy them seperately, and really.. i have an air wrench but i never use it. the only air tool i use that doesn't cut things or shoot staples/nails is my impact wrench... here's a nice one

i got that set of air tool for free when i purchased my air compressor, the ratchet was pretty weak, put the impact wrench was ok i used it to loosen the the nut on the axle to do my 5 lug conversion. front an rear. but for extra torque purchase a better air tools

Its crap, I used to work at sears and so many people had a problem with this set up. It really doesn't provide enough torque and it frequently breaks. I recommend air tools from Ingersoll-rand. They are probably the best bang for your buck. I have a few of their products in my tool chest.

ingersoll-rand ti2135 FTW. and get a 3/8 one too.

the Ti guns arent the MOST durable (mac and the reg IR are alightly tougher) but it is light and powerful.

IR, Snap On, and Mac Tools.

Those are the only brands that I trust to spend money on when buying air tools.

I second the notion on IR's guns. The guns we have at the shop go through years of abuse and neglect..and can still do the job day after day.

Just remember to oil them frequently, and make sure you have no condensation in your air lines...and you're good to go.

Mr. Samurai · 04-16-2008, 08:01 PM

I agree with smelly240 i have a Ingersoll TI gun and that thing is light and it's broken everything i've used it, best gun i've had yet. I use it to break the nut then i use the driver to remove the nut the rest of the way cause my IR gun spins too fast...

Gnnr · 04-16-2008, 09:15 PM

I would have to say go IR too since its what I see at all the shops and I've read nothing but good things, the Sears catalog has them too...
