The Ingersoll Rand 2146Q1Max impact wrench with the pressure and volume gauge got us thinking about how to show viewers the real performance of the impact wrench without inflating the performance with too much pressure. We quickly realized this was going to be a huge issue as the Aircat 1870-P wanted much more air than the IR. When we put the air hungry IR 1" into the mix it even was worse. So we threw the scientific part out the window and went with what most would see in a real shop where people hooked up air tools and just went to work.
In this situation and in the real world, many will wear out tools prematurely from too much pressure. I am sure you could learn a lot about this from @TorqueTestChannel as he is an expert in both battery and pneumatic impacts. If you want to know more about who has the beans, go check them out.
In our case, we were surprised to see the difference in performance between two wrenches that shared similar specs. The IR 2146 and Aircat 1870-P were close on paper but in our testing, the aircat smoked the IR in every way. Is that a fair test putting a 3/4" up against a 1"? Probably not, but on paper it worked.
