100 psi should be good, but you also will require sufficient cfm to apply t=
he force necessary (e.g., 1/2" lines would be great, pressure regulator has=
sufficient cfm rating, etc.).
Best,

Fellas,
I'm re-organizing the new garage. I haven't set up new big compressor yet, =
so I've been working with the contractor model I used around the house (135=
psi, oil-lube contractor model--I've actually been pleasantly surprised).
I found my old IR2131 in a box a while back--it's been in that box since ma=
ybe 1999. Before that it was used maybe ten times, total.
I dumped some air tool oil in the intake and it spun. I was going to rotate=
my tires yesterday, and it wouldn't remove the lug nuts.
Now to be fair, I couldn't get them off with a breaker bar, either. But the=
gun is supposed to be better than 600 lb. ft., IIRC. I should have spun th=
ose off no problem. I wouldn't have ever used it at more than 100 p.s.i. on=
the old compressor, so it shouldn't be lacking there.
I thought maybe it needed a rebuild, but before I do it I thought I'd ask y=
ou guys. Do these things just 'age'? I remember pulling apart other impacts=
in the shop back then, but I don't remember their guts. Maybe a seal has d=
ry-rotted?
Or are tire shops just sticking wheels on tighter now? I couldn't budge tha=
t thing with an 18: breaker and everything I had.
Scott
