    How to get bits on a 1/2 drive impact?

    Hey all, I finally ordered the impact gun I've been looking at for a while. One of the first things I need to do with it is try and get out a stuck Torx bolt. My question is, how do I get the Torx bit onto the 1/2 drive impact? I looked online for adapters, couldn't find anything. Thanks!

    Truck-mount air compressor for garage use?

    Hey guys, I don't know much about air compressors, so I want to make sure this will work for my needs (occasional weekend work with impact tools, painting, sanding). A buddy is selling a 9 hp truck mounted air compressor he used on his service truck to inflate semi truck tires. It has a Robin...
