Anyone have a reccomendation on a set of air tools to get? I'm going to ask for some for xmas (about 350$ range), Lowes has a 6 hp 25 gallon compressor, air gun, air ratchet, etc for 300 in their circular today, does that look decent? can anyone tell me what to look for? It's not going to do for anything heavy duty, mainly tires, an exhaust every once in a while and some suspension work. let me know, thanks guys.

 

I looked at that package at Lowe's last weekend. For the price, you pretty much get the air ratchet for free. But, the air wrench in that package isn't very powerful. I was helping a friend change his timing belt and water pump on his R and we couldn't loosen the crank pulley bolt, which is listed at only 130 lb-ft (yeah, right). If you EVER intend on using your air tools to loosen that bolt, you'd better get at least a 500 lb-ft air wrench, preferrably a 600 lb-ft (IR). We spent the entire weekend on that damn bolt.
