5 things you PROBABLY didn’t know an “air hammer” to do 

How did that work our for you

@@Naismith624he must still be hammering 😆

@@oxygen454😂😂

@@chevyboi0898this shid got my dying 😂

I never remove the spring either, this never occurred to me.

Not just to shake/brake the bolt, but also to separate parts using their own bolt, for example hitting the wheel hub on their inside bolts and it will come right off

The problem is that it doesn't hardly touch the nut or bolt head AT ALL. LOL. Instead, loosen the nut or bolt and use a hammer headed insert to hit either the bolt or knuckle. My Chicago Pneumatic long neck is still the most powerful tool in my box, and it was put into service in 1981.

True that man! I honestly didn't know it can do all that... Super cool!

That's exactly what we at work use it for. To knock the paint off. And get a better bite

You mean like an impact wrench?

For a really rusted bolt it can break the rust loose and reduce the likelihood of breaking the bolt off.

Especially valuable on exhaust manifold bolts

Mumblix is right - Look up the operation of an IMPACT wrench. You'll find that they do the exact same thing as an air hammer, but with a twisting motion added!

You should have just hit the stud with a large hammer, it would have popped right out. For re-installation, they make a special bearing tool and your local parts store has one for sale.

Most air tools like this want 90, but the check the specifications on whatever you're looking at to know for sure. Beyond that the psi is only good til your tank runs empty, then you'll have to wait for it to fill back up to maintain that psi during continuous, so CFM spec is also important if you plan to use it continuously. For occasional bursts of hammering at home you can get away with a smaller tank with lower CFM. Some also recommend 3/8 hoses with high flow connectors.

Damn your a bitch no offense

@@MasterShiFu714 You mean "you're"

Harbor freight doesn’t sell that socket attachment i’ll find a link and put it in the description. There’s the name brand shake and break, or other companies that make something similar. They sell them in three eights and half-inch.

@@errorcodeguy456 thanks

How did you modify your palm nailer? I’m in the same boat. Palm Nailer is my last hope before I start cutting shit out

@@jordankrupp6582 all I did was unscrew the front housing to expose the hammer pin and I tig welded the largest cold chisel that would fit and it’s been a life saver. It can be a bit of a pain cuz you have to have the housing slid up on the chisel while you weld it and then thread it back on but other than that there’s nothing to it

Adjust the air intake valve.

@@CheetahBigKitty I figured out that the barrel wasn't fully screwed in to the body! Once it was tight, it worked. It still works loose, but now I know. What can one expect for $12!!??

Are usually run them at about 80 psi if I get impatient I’ve turned it up a bit more. It’s got a regulator on the handle so if the tool starts bouncing off or going out of control you can take it down some. Hope this answers your question

@@errorcodeguy456Awsome yep, I'm in the process of buying an air compressor, what's a good size for this and other auto equipment?

@@user-xe9ue2jr2w 2hp real, 5hp modern rating. Even a pancake compressor is a good start. It becomes an excellent portable air tank setup for the future.

Through the years I’ve had big compressors I’ve had small ones, You just need to let the compressor top off and then run your tool for a little bit and then let it top off again. If you have a big compressor you don’t have to do that as much.I have broken off some of the hardest bolts with a small pancake from harbor freight compressor. I had a 2 hp 20 gallon tank for years, it’s still possible to get this in the car and transport it to where you need it yet big enough to barely sandblast something. One thing that people don’t think about with the compressor is they are noisy and they turn on when you’re not expecting them to. If you’re grinding some thing and the compressor kicks on it makes you jump, this could be dangerous. Are used to have a 80 gallon 5 hp two stage with an extra tank this is eally big and you absolutely can’t move it and it’s 220 V so you can see this is a difficult question to answer. There’s no right answers there’s only trade-offs. I hope this helps answer your question. If I could only have one compressor I like the 3 hp 20 gallon because it’s just barely big enough to do everything but still portable, Sandblasting is the largest challenge with any compressors

@@errorcodeguy456 Ditto
