<p>If your going to replace the quick connects, Devilbiss makes
awesome high flow units. If you compare the openings, you'll see
a huge difference.<br>

<div>There was nothing wrong with the wrench.</div>

<div>The female quick-disconnect at the compressor wasn't
seating correctly which wasn't allowing full air flow to the
tool.</div>

<div>When I pushed in the hose to connect it, the hose connected
and wasn't hissing. If you grab the male fitting and force it
another half-inch or so into the female fitting, you get
normal function.</div>

</div>
<div>I don't know if the fitting itself is defective or if I
bought the wrong fitting. They're all Harbor Freight
'industrial'-type fittings....which might answer my question
for me.</div>

<div>On a side note, I've never tried to use an air tool with a
small tank...and I won't be trying any more. This may be the
excuse to buy the Quincy I've always wanted.</div>

<div dir="ltr">I have seen this with seldom used air impact
wrenches. The air paddles in the motor get stuck in their
slots and will not seal. You will hear the air escaping from
the wrench, but with little movement or power.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You could try to squirt some air tool oil in it, spin
it just a little to spread it around the paddles, let it
set for a few hours and try it again to see if it free the
paddles before you open it up.</div>

<div>It's maybe 20 years old. Been used maybe half a
dozen times in twenty years (it has a brother that
gets used usually) and has lived a coddled life in a
padded tool drawer. Not even really dusty.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Tried it the other day and it acts like there's no
air in the compressor. Turns really slow with no power
at all. Not even a first good smack.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm trying to use it with a portable roofing
compressor (the two long tanks, maybe three gallon
capacity), but it puts out 100+ p.s.i. and it filled
up.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Should I try to take it (the wrench) apart and see
if something's in the passages? Do they just wear out
over time, even if not used? Might the compressor be
too small? My only thought is maybe a wasp got into it
and made a nest somewhere in there. I don't *see*
anything, but...</div>
