IR 2130 clunking

[scylla]

Here's a question for any IR owners out there.

If I shake my IR impact wrench from side to side I can feel and hear the innards clunking about. It's not a small part clunk noise, it's more like the hammers are slightly loose inside the gun.

I've had the gun for at least 6 months and never noticed this before. That doesn't mean it wasn't like that, just that I hadn't noticed.

My previous gun was a Craftsman cheapo and I'm pretty certain that even after 10 years it didn't have that looseness.

Any IR owners out there with the same looseness? Any cause for concern?

I oil my gun about 3 or 4 times weekly. I haven't greased it yet though.

Add grease to the mechanism and you'll be all set.

Its just the hammers sliding back and forth most likely, which is normal, I grease my 2135 about once a month. (pull nose cone and coat everything in grease)

Thanks for the quick answers. Time for some grease I guess.
