impact wrneches

What's the point of 300 ft lbs of torque? Wouldn't that just spin you around and around.

[Cotton eyed Joe]

naw HP is HP.

 

and the reason for that diff is cause of the RPM.  a diisel will only rev out to like 3500 - 4000.  instead of 9500 like that turbine.

 

and Stan you should hear this fucker.  sounds like im on tony stwearts pit crew, it rocks.

You've been out in the drive way taking a tire off, putting it back on and timing yourself haven't you.....

Funny you mention that, I timed myself awhile back, dont remember the actual time, but it was just taking it off as I was doing a brake job on the ol ladys car.

 

Hp doesn't have to be a constant when related to torque. Just look at a lot of dynos.

[locogato11283]

dont tell me your going to "detune " your snap-on

uh oh...dont get that started again!!

[VinceDizzy]

Depends on what builder you have port it.

well its not like 300 pounds of torque that comes on constantly. it comes on about 1400 blows per minutre so its like a vibration. and it only gets 300 in reverse, about 250 in forward. that way you can take off everything you put on. my other impact doesnt do that and it is a PITA.

[PUSH THE THROTTLE]

so are 3/8 impact wrenches trail friendly?

I hear if you ding up the impellor or else suck up 1 oz of bubble gum it'll detune it to trail friendly standards

just underrun the compressor, but you risk the chance of burning that up

Funny you guys mention porting, cause you actually can port them and make more power...23champ has a Blue Point that is mean as a mf'er. I think he put a drag port on it! Gotta be careful tho cause if ya go too far you'll ruin it.

[racer]

uh oh. give us more details on porting an impact wrench

[reded]

all you gotta do is take it apart and you'll see the ports that the air travels through coming into the turbine and leaving it. Just drill them out a little bit bigger and try it. Go up a little bit at a time until you think its prolly maxed out and gonna start losing power.

 

I saw a guy at a former job port an Ingersol, and it would bust the head off a grade 8 3/8 bolt when it hit bottom.

I guess thats fine and all, but what if you happen to have left hand nuts that need torquing?

Wow, bust the head off of a 3/8 bolt. Suggested torque (dry) 44 ft-lbs. That

[reded]

OK, ya got me, your story is bigger and better than mine, good for you!

[rocketboy]

im gonna go out on a limb here... and say if you decide on "porting" your 3/8" impact ,you should probably look into a bigger model instead of dremeling out inlet air chambers for more power besides ,snap-on is the "cheetah " of power equipment anyways
