my friend has an impact wrench but it seems to take a while instead of just zipping bolts off in a second like I've seen before. I want a tool that is going to make my job as quick as possible. thanks.

Buy a Milwaukee electric impact wrench and you won't need to buy a separate air compressor.

Air ratchets are in simple terms a pneumatic style of the universal socket set ratchets that have been all conscious of. they arrive in diverse sizes collectively with 3/8", a million/2 and 3/4" in simple terms like the hand ratchets. frequently they'll constrained to the quantity of torque they are able to grant of say 30 feet-lbs to a hundred feet-lbs. An result wrench or result gun frequently formed like a gun or a hand drill can grant lots greater torques collectively with 200ft-lbs to 800 + feet-lbs. The extreme torque forces enable those result wrenches to loosen ( breaking unfastened) nuts and lugs that been torqued to a extreme value collectively with lug nuts on vehicle/truck tires. those result wrenches require particular "result sockets" designed for the extreme result stresses. result wrenches are good as removing nuts yet with the aid of fact the psi of the air imparting power to the end result wrench will selection, they no longer so good and not used at setting up and re-torqueing the nuts to specs. this is the place the torque wrench are available in. there are a number of types maximum of that are handbook wrenches which would be calibrated for use manually grant the main concepts-blowing torque referred to as for.

What you have to know about impact wrenches is that they only go as fast as the amount of air you put through them. Your friend has a good idea by not putting too much air pressure through his gun. If you ask him he'll probably tell you. The reason for this is so the wheel and lugs don't get damaged. It's really easy to damage the wheel, warped rotor cracked aluminum rim galled or stripped threads etc. if you use too much force.
As for wich one, Chicago Pneumatics makes a good, sturdy model that'll last you for years. It's middle of the line, about 75 bucks or so.

It all depends on how much you are willing to spend. But you will also need a suitable air compressor so if you have not got one then its price would need to be considered. Prices vary between $50 to $400 for air impact wrenches.

That really depends how much you want to spend, Sears has a good 1/2" drive impact that will do fine around $60.00 or so. The other option is a Snap-on 1/2" impact with dual hammers around $300.00 to $400.00. Your choice!
