Air Wrenches

An air-powered impact wrench works much the same way as a manual impact wrench without the hammer and time consumption. When you pull the trigger, there are impacts from tiny hammers inside the wrench that are transformed into a rotary motion. The difference in these air tools is that the air wrench does the work for you, and much quicker as well.

Impact wrenches are great for loosening tight or stiff bolts. They also make changing a flat tire fast and much easier. When shopping for impact wrenches don't forget to pick up an air compressor if you don't already have one. Every garage work shop should have an air compressor, and if you work on cars a lot, yours should also have an impact wrench. Look for an air compressor that has at least a 10 gallon tank and is able to generate at least 3hp.

Other important accessories for your impact wrench are the sockets. Air wrenches require special sockets that are designed to withstand the high torque applied by impact wrenches. For the best savings find an impact wrench set that includes sockets; then you know that the sockets are specifically designed for your impact wrench's torque.
