Wierd Snap On Air Impact

[JMorrison4371]

The foreman at the shop I work at has a Snap On Impact that sounds really wierd. I've never heard one that sounds the way this one does any info on this gun? It's like the one in the pic

also the trigger on this gun gets stuck alot and it'll just sit there and spin unless you pull it back out

A co worker of mine got that one off the truck too, an orange one. Putting some oil in it should stop the random spinning, at least it did for him. He only kept it for about a month and a half before returning it, that thing sucked and it's pretty freakin big too.
Maybe others have had better experiences with them though.

the one hes got is pretty strong and ill tell him about oiling the trigger. he doesnt use it for wheel lugs he uses it to break stubborn bolts loose and it works great for him but i have never heard an impact, or any air tool for that matter that sounds the way this one does.

One of my co-workers had one that looked similar to this but I think it was yellow or orange, I forget, it was years ago. I remember his had a different sound also but that's cause it had a silencer feature that could be switch on & off for more power.

The XT7100 had a unique sound.

The XT7100 had a unique sound.

Kinda like boxer engine sound on low air pressure.

I still have min. it's a pretty strong gun, but just too heavy and big compare to new models.

I had one, I don't remember what it sounded like. but traded it in about a year ago for the newer. I use the new one only for stubborn bolts. I use a smaller light wuieter mac gun for most things now. That S/O gun is WAY To heavy and loud

Mine sounds funny, I thought something was wrong at first but it has plenty of power so I don't think twice about it now

yea the xt7100 is a real strong gun, but it isnt worth rebuilding every couple years.

they have more of a whir sound to them, it just sounds strong...

The XT7100 has a dual chamber air motor which gives it the weird sound. This also means they need a decent amount of airflow to perform well. Quite a powerful gun when hooked up right.
