Advice on Impact Wrench Setup

[harriw]

Hey guys,

I went to Sears tonight, planning to buy the Craftsman gun I decided on (I was returning a smaller gun to get it, but had no receipt as this one was a gift. That meant store credit at Sears only, and my research found this was the best gun Sears had).

So of course, they're out of stock of the gun I decided on (their 580 ft-lb model). But it turns out they had an IR-231C in stock for $20 more so I grabbed it (I didn't think Sears carried that model - they don't show the IR model number anywhere online and I didn't recognize it from the small picture).

So if this thing's as reliable as you all say it is, I'll be handing it down to my 2-year-old son some day. Thanks again for the advice guys!

-Bill

At Home I run a Craftsman 25 Gal Horizontal Compressor , and my gun is an Old Mac Tools AW5500 , which to me is the best gun ever made , the gun is about 5 or 6 years old , and out performs all of the brand new Snap-On and Mac Guns. I need to fix the regulator on my tank , asd it is currently set at full bore , and i need to get a new air hose.

and how do you grease an Air Tool , i have a tube of Air Tool Grease in my box , but have no idea how to use it , and i oil mine at least once a week , if not more.
