The only one that I could find under $50 was a Road Pro RP-03048. Does anyone use these at the track?

 

i think harbor freight has them..

harborfreight.com

 

Go baller style and get the Snap On Cordless 18volt one. I love that thing

 

the snap on's are nice. I have both the 1/2" and the 3/8" versions...

 

those snap on guns are heaven, every racer should have one... there the best,

 

Snap On = $$$ and lots of it. Actually, this is for a friend and he's a budget racer. He used to be a master tech for Honda but now works for Goodyear because of the variety of cars. He put together a custom turbo kit for his car and is running 12.8 at the track with 1.8 60' time. Thats with 11.5 compression and pump gas. Needless to say he knows what he's doing.

 

Actually, I just looked at the price for the corded Snap On wrench, and its around $200. All the brands I found were +-$30 from eachother. I cant find the rechargeable one though.

 

Hey Paul, are those rechargables strong enough to break a harmonic balancer bolt loose?

 

not really...If I remember correctly, they are rated at 80ft/lbs of torque.

That's whne the big snap-on breaker bar or the floorjack handle comes in

Why not just run an air impact gun off a 10 gallon storage tank from Walmart?

I can change 4 tires off/on, air up slicks, then put 4 tires off/on and drive home and still have air left over to adjust tire pressures on the street tires.

 

You can do all that on a 10 gal tank?

 

the new 1/2" guns are strong enough... i use one all day long... battery takes a couple minutes to charge and it last pretty long...

its this gun but the 18 volt model

 

just have to be smart about using the impact gun. Mine is a cheap CH and I set it to about 2 on the dial.

The tank.....


has even been converted to "quick fill" right off home compressor. Left connected at it serves as a 10 gallon "buffer" to the 25 gallon tank.

 

Im using an Ingersoll-Rand 2131A. I dont know how much air it takes using the lowest setting.

 

that gun is the ****...I own one of those also

 

what do you guys think of florida pneumatic, i got a 550 ft/lb impact wrench off ebay for 50 bucks, its 90 psi, i haven't tried it yet, but it seems decent

 

Snap on all the way with the electric 1/2inch drive. IR makes the best air impacts imho

 

Snap on Retails the electric impact for about 400 bucks and it comes with 2 18 volt batteries

 

I like IR tools too. If I get serious with fixing cars, id like to get their whole line of air tools with SK impact sockets.. I can also kind of get a cheap price on them too.

http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/ has the SK sockets for really cheap.
