yeah, that does it. I'm just going to keep them and start building up the M12 collection.

Honestly, I don't need them since what I have already does the job fine. But then again, 200 is a pretty good price and you never can have too many tools and these are lighter. Initially I was leaning towards just waiting for the Makita batteries to die or the tools dying but now I'm thinking...

wanted to get some opinions on whether or not I should add these to my tool box. I'm really mostly a home handyman and don't use the tools to build much. Currently I have a 14.4 V NiMh Makita Impact, 18VNiMh Makita drill, 18V Makita Circular saw. As far as pneumatics, I have a IR 2115...

Elcometer is the industry standard 311 fnf which measures thickness on steel and aluminum . Expensive but worth it. I've used mine purchasing used cars in the past

OP said he was just doing tire rotations so it's hard for me to understand why he needs 2235. 2135 will be more than adequate. It's lighter and cheaper. Now if he said that he he might tackle bigger jobs in the future like axle bolts it might make sense to get the 2235. Get the 2135, feels...

U can do better than that on price. I picked up the 2135 for 208 on Amazon. I was debating the same question and decided on the 2135. It's more than adequate for what I want ( remove lugs on a small suv). I prefer the lighter weight and size and realistically wouldn't need the power of the 2235.

I didn't even know there were different types of sockets, ie designed for pins or rings. Do I need to get different sockets designed to fit on a 3/8 square nose ring?

i tried it at higher pressure and it does sound different. Probably what's going on is what other people said, i.e. you won't hear a difference unless your impacting a fastener. Probably no compelling reason to have it on high since I always hand torque the lugs anyway. Thanks!

Intrigued by this coilhose inline Anyone know if it really works??

actually the Makita has 2 outlets so I'm good on that. pressure seems inadequate with the A/O separator. for what I'm doing, a few drops of oil are going to be sufficient. Thanks!!

seemed like it was the same in both forward and reverse but I'm going to increase the regulator on the compressor. Had set it to 100 PSI but another thread of mine suggested I needed 120-30 to get 90 at the gun.

so I just tried out the impact gun on my wife's car and adjusted the "regulator" on the back. However, there did not seem to be any noticeable difference in terms of strength. Is this normal.

u don't think setting the regulator to 130-140 is too much? max gun pressure is 90 PSI?? wouldn't I be better off getting an inline regulator and measuring what the pressure is at the end of the hose during load?

so I finally had a chance to try the tools out. I had the regulator on the compressor set at 100 PSI (pressure dropped when I started using gun) and with the A/O separator, it couldn't bust the lug off of my wife's MDX. I took the A/O separator off and lug came off. So I have a couple of...

got the 2115QTiMax and tried it on the lugs on my car (torqued to 90 lb-ft) which it was able to remove with some slight difficulty. I don't have a Nitrocat or Aircat so there's really no way for me to compare. I'm using Milton hi flow connectors with a 25 foot 3/8 in hose. Overall I'm...
