anybody who owns a MT2858

[bigsteve1969]

just got mine in yesterday and hooked it up my compressor at the house and its really quite. kinda wiered cause my older IR 3/8 screams when you hit it. and this thing spins kinda slow im startin to wonder if i got a bad egg like some of the other items i got. (tq wrench that was broken in the case) maybe its my 3/8 line or the swivil connector i got on it. what yal think. thanks

my question is what kind of compressor you have? how much pressure you set at regulator?

it dosnt have the rpm's imo. thing would damn near snap your fingers off though

It's rated at 180 RPM. A Snap-on FAR7200 is 220RPM by comparison.

I demoed one for a week and it was painfully loud. Also, didn't find it any more powerful than my 7200

yea i figured with all the power it would just spin away but just like drag cars its tq that turns it now speed

It's a slow turner. Also, make sure you oil the snot out of it & run it at free speed for 2 minutes. This helps to break the motor in. The original units had a tag stating to do this. Now it's supposed to be already done. I still advise to do it again.

yea on the box it had new and improved head design or something to that effect and the only tag on it had the extreme tq warning. but i put the oil to it for bout a min. and it started seeping out by that c clip on the head so i figured it was good

very few air tools i buy arent IR or a rebadged one, but the 7200 whoops this one hands down.
