Stupid air compressor question
How many hp and what size gallon tank air compressors are u using to feed your impact wrenches? Preferably people who've used it to get those 2 freeking 22mm bolts off the front strut. Don't laugh. O.k. maybe a little is ok.
I assume ur setting to 90 psi.
(I'll probably try muscling it off again- but thinkin about a new compressor anyway so I appreciate your equip specs.)

For pulling wheels and anything stubborn, a bored and lightened hammer Snap-On 1/2" impact, 900lb reverse torque on 200 psi nitrogen.
For everyday use, a 4hp Sanborn 25gal, with the regulator dialed to 110psi on the main spool. Compressor is about 15yo. Finally moving up to a dual stage in the summer.

900 lb nitrogen?!? You could dismantle a skyscraper!!
Thanks for the feedback. Heads up anyone else... don't buy a low hp small gallon compressor. It's probably faster to do it by hand when there's any tension- ie. spring compressors.(And all that waiting for the pressure to build suxx!) Just do it by hand or get some... uh... nitrous power- lol!
