Air Tools

Currently looking to source a 1/2" Impact Gun and a 3/8" air ratchet

What've people got for sale ? I know they're not that expensive for new stuff (Clarke etc.) but I could do without spending much really

U2U if you have anything.

Cheers,

Mike

I can sell you a bag full of air for them if you want?

BIG COMPRESSOR NEEDED

I understand all the usage implications, most seem to require around 6-7 cfm which my compressor can supply no problem.

C'mon guys, helpful comments to the task in hand only please

Thanks,

Mike

I know £15 is £15, but given that they'll be new with a warranty, personally I'd just buy something from the vast choice on eBay at that pricepoint.

If you want it to last forever then you'll be spending mega bucks, but for £15 and a years warranty you can't go wrong.

Link to the £15 ones please ?

note i think for 1/2 impact you should be using 10mm hose?

From my limited sucess, i think any air tools benefit from 10mm hose.

For more demanding jobs, i use two compressors and a Y piece to combine the pipes at the tool.

Appreciate the offer there Big Wasa ! If you can check if it works - more than happy to pay for postage and include a drink ?

Cheers,

Mike

PS - Totally agree boys - 10mm ID hose as a minimum for big consumption air tools !

Halfrauds have this set here for £80 at the moment

Seems good value as its got impact sockets etc in it

Cheers

I'll check that out, thanks.

If it's £80 in my local Halfrauds - they'll have 1 less this afternoon !

Cheers
