Recent Habitat grab . couldn't pass it up

OP
actually used this last week, I was surprised at the torque it has in loosening bolts .
removed some 3/4" fine thread bolts after just getting them to move ( maybe a quarter turn) with a socket & cheater .
It's all I had handy . I was impressed

That's a deal, glad you got it to work for you, right-away. It appears well-built.
I found an Ingersoll-Rand 1/2" drive pneumatic impact tool (231C), lying in the gutter in Miami FL on Bird Rd./SW 40 St. Funny thing is, I was going to turn off the road, and wasn't able to move to the left quickly enough because of heavy traffic. I had to go a block out of my way, and as-soon as I pulled U-turn, I saw the impact tool, lying in the gutter. I whipped-into the closest place to park, and ran back to pick it up. Luckily, I was first in-line. I looked for other tools, and did turn up a deep 3/4" 1/2" drive impact socket for it, but nothing else.
Cost to me: free
Value to me: priceless

Double You **** because this was found at HFH.
I've quit visiting the one near me because every tool they have, mostly bent dime store screwdrivers used to open paint cans, seems to have been priced as if it were shiny and new hanging from a peg in the Snap-On truck.
The most craptastic power tools imaginable priced at or near new retail. Anything that store sells should simply be considered a donation.
Rant over, that looks like a nearly new gun. Well done!

"after just getting them to move" That is cheating.

Yes, it is.
It is actually a Desoutter tool made by Atlas and rebranded as a CP. Atlas Copco has owned CP since the mid-80's and they also own Desoutter.
It isn't a simple impact. It is actually a hydraulic pulse tool. It has a pulse unit cushioned by hydraulic oil instead of a simple steel anvil being hit by a driver. This particular model is a shutoff version that you can set to a specific torque and it will stop when it is reached. The torque range of this one is 16-29 ftlbs. It is biased to full torque in reverse though.
Over time the hydraulic fluid in the pulse unit will break down and it will lose driving torque. It can be brought back to new condition by changing the hydraulic fluid in the pulse unit.
Oh, FYI the new cost was around $3,000 each.
OP
Wow.
do you by chance have a link to how the torque adjustment is made and oil changes etc?

Here's the factory manual that comes with the tool. No a ton of info but it does give the torque adjustment procedure.

OP
@Tim in Indiana , that's great . I was never able to find much on it. as per the manual, I imagine it's the screw in the lower 1/3 from the left of the picture .
The adjusting screw (the slotted screw) is the only screw that
initially should be adjusted.

Somewhere there is a storeroom at an Automotive OEM missing a wrench !! These guns arent really used outside of manufacturing. Interesting score though.
We had a lot of Desoutter tools at a past employer . They are a different standard than what most mechanics use. Might not set peak "advertising" numbers, but designed to run all day.
