I wouldn't overlook a King Tony impact wrench. Having spent the last year or 2 selling them, I found lads were happy with them. They wouldn't be the cheapest stuff ever but would be of a fairly good quality we always found. I have a small one myself (lightweight but very powerful, 450ft/lbs) and find it great. I'd like to get a bigger one as it's a bit small for bigish wheels and have my eye on another king tony one when the funds allow, but wouldn't have enough use to justify it at the minute either.Quick question on impact wrenches - as I picked up a compressor lately a guy offered me a snapon 3/4" for €300 s/h but good condition however looking around you buy a Chicago pneumatics 1/2" new at half that and the torque rating enough for my need. I need it for the tractor wheels as the 14.4v snap on while handy for spinning on/off wont loosen them (217Nm). The tractor manual suggests the tightening torque is about 450nm. Ideally I want a lightweight unit that will do the wheels but may be useful on other jobs as well plough etc.
CP7736 1/2" http://www.airimpact.ie/p/cp7736-1_2-drive-chicago-pneumatic-impact-wrench-/cp7736
Working Torque Range (fwd) 69-770 Nm 51-570
Maximum Torque (reverse) 900 Nm 665 ft.lbs
Weight 2.58 kg
MG1250 3/4" https://store.snapon.com/3-4-Drive-...-Wrench-Air-Heavy-Duty-3-4-Drive-P750121.aspx
Maximum Torque, ft-lb (N•m) 1,250 (1,694)
not sure how adjustable fwd torque is
Weight 3.6kg
Any views appreciated as if the snapon is what I need it seems good value.
Its the way the work the blow off there on auto too. Is there oil in the compressor?Lads my 3hp belt driven compressor (Italian middle of the road job) has been hard started in cold weather the last few winters but it's gone worse now.it will spin a bit them the overload on the motor trips.
When you hit the red switch on top of the electric control unit it lets off a blast of air which leads me to presume it's not trying to start under load but maybe I'm wrong
Mine has been doing similar for a couple of years, I now spray a little easing oil/WD40 on the drive shaft of the compressor motor to oil the outside of the bearing.Lads my 3hp belt driven compressor (Italian middle of the road job) has been hard started in cold weather the last few winters but it's gone worse now.it will spin a bit them the overload on the motor trips.

When's the last time you drained your compressor.@gone Is yours only acting up in cold weather?It's in frost mine stops.much worse this year than last
I didn't notice if Frost had any effect, but it is worse during the winter, but that could be just that it wouldn't be use that often during the winter.@gone Is yours only acting up in cold weather?It's in frost mine stops.much worse this year than last
Drained sometime last winter.When's the last time you drained your compressor.
I try to make a habit of draining it at least monthly, of course it depends on usage and it usually does least work in the winter, ideally it should be drained after each use which would be preferable to leaving water sitting in it for a period of time.Drained sometime last winter.
How often do most lads drain there's.
There isn't a way of drying air on the way in to the tank that i known of?
If you want to go mad, Magnum have an offer at the moment on their MX1008 200L 15 CFM compressor. My just bought 1.The pump is very free by hand.
It's more like an electric problem.
I replaced the capacitor a few years ago.
Could it be gone again?
