What a wimp! I've got blitsers on me fingers from replacing my ball joints yesterday. And my muscles ache. And it took me three times longer. The ONE saving grace was I actually didn't snap anything this time!!!
All because I loaned my compressor to a friend of mine that lost his job and is doing autobody in another friend's garage...
I bought a Sears Craftsman compressor, and it was on sale, and it came with a 1/2" drive impact wrench, a 3/8" drive ratchet, an air chisel/hammer, a hose and some other small goodies. I haven't broken it yet, and it's loosened some pretty tough stuff. But, I only use it 3-4 times a year. I also bought the same wrench (the 1/2 impact) at a Salvation Army for $5, I can't remember the name, but it's the same wrench. And a 3/8" Snap On for $8 at another SA. I have been using these mostly.
I'm not a pro, I'm not using them every day, and they've been working fine for me. IIRC, the whole kit from Sears with the 2 wrenches, etc was $129 on salle, but I got it free. I wanted a *BIG* compressor since I sand and grind body panels and wanted to paint with it. The guy I loaned it to did an Olds, and for a "barn job" it looked MINT!!
