<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">First, many of the impact 'innards'
I've seen are ?nylon? plates that spin in a off center chamber. Nothing
to dry rot.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">But the thing to ask is, when you first
plug it into air, any leaking noise? Then, when you trigger it, do
you hear any air rushing noise that you don't normally hear when using
an impact? Also, does it feel like the gun is 'bucking' or just 'whimpering'
when it is trying?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Next, I've seen shops put tires one
CRAZY tight! My guess is that "there is NO penalty if the nut
is too tight, but if it is too loose and comes off, that could be a major
lawsuit." So they "air" on the side of caution. (bad
pun)</font>

<br><font size=3>Fellas,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>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).</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>I found my old IR2131 in a box a while back--it's been
in that box since maybe 1999. Before that it was used maybe ten times,
total.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>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.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>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 those 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.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>I thought maybe it needed a rebuild, but before I do it
I thought I'd ask you 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 dry-rotted?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>Or are tire shops just sticking wheels on tighter now?
I couldn't budge that thing with an 18: breaker and everything I had.</font>
