Default Air Compressor / Tools ?

How many PSI should your air compressor be to put out enough pressure to turn suspension bolts etc?

It depends more on the tool itself. Our shops compressors are set at 150 psi.

to run an impact wrench your going to atleast need a compressor that can do 4.0cfm at 90psi.

any impact rated at 200ft/lbs or higher will get almost everything out.
