Hi all,
Might be inviting a lot of chuckles here but....
Now I'm getting more experienced (yes, ha ha) and that I saw a SIP 25L compressor (as per eBay item 170142156209) in my local Costco for £99 inc VAT with a 10 piece tool kit (pressure washer, a couple of spray type devices, vacuum, tyre inflater etc...) I'm now wondering whether it might be worth getting and getting an impact wrench from somewhere.
This is mainly because I'm a little tired of rolling around on my back trying to apply a breaker bar to stubborn bolts when the car is on axle stands and you've got 20 degrees of swing for the breaker bar.
Questions...
The air specs are:
# Air displacement : 8.0 CFM (227 L/min) # Max free air delivery : 5.2 CFM (147 L/min) # Free air delivery : 4.4 CFM (125 L/min)
Now what is the difference between those three? :) Peak and continuous?
How much will an impact wrench use? I've seen some advertised as 4 CFM and some as 15 CFM. Also do they / can they have torque limiters for doing stuff up that'll stop it applying more than about 20-30Nm? I've not seen that advertised as a feature anywhere, of course if they don't do that then I won't use one for doing stuff up!
I'm sure I'll use the other tools too, patio furniture needs respraying and the Fiesta's engine bay could do with degreasing. Plus my cheapy electric pressure washer just broke down - I know an air powered one won't be as powerful.
Seems like a good buy? :)
Thanks again,
Peter.
