I’ve acquired an air compressor and would like to use pneumatic tools whenever possible. Can I use an Impact WRENCH to drive lag screws into wood? Or am I stock with buying a cordless Impact DRIVER?
Absolutely you can use an impact wrench to drive lag screws. You can adjust the torque on any quality air impact wrench to avoid over tightening or stripping the wood.
it stands to reason (at least to me) that air tool oil should basically be the same thing as pellgun oil,
I was wondering if this is sound logic, or if I’d harm my air rifle by using this oil?
by pneumatic air guns, I’m reffering to pump air guns, I know it shouldn’t be used in spring powered rifles, I would think air tool oil should more than suffice for a pump gun
The oil is flammable. Used in the high pressure chamber of a spring powered rifle will cause detonation, or at the very least dieseling. This is unsafe. At the least it will damage you gun. It has the potential for serious injury or even death.
edit
as for a pump gun, maybe, but a little tube of crosman pellgun oil is like $3, I’d hate to find out later if it was damaging to seals in say my Benjamin 397… i’d play it safe
I work in a mattress factory, and all of our tools are air tools, and the air comes from a single compressor to various parts of the factory through air hoses and pvc pipes. Water seems to collect in one of the hoses all the time, and damages tools connected to it, no matter how often the compressor is drained. Does anyone know why, and what I can do about it?
A good piping design for an air system should encorporate a drip leg or drain pot at each point where air is drawn off. The drip leg or drain pot is below the take off point for the air tools so the water doesn’t enter the tool but can be drained off. In a really good system, an automatic drain valve similar to a steam trap is installed to take care of this problem.
I want to power a rotary sander with compressed co2. Even though the tool is designed to be powered by compressed air, will co2 work?
I disagree with parts of both answers so far – a big tank of CO2 will certainly power a pneumatic tool – it is pressurized to over 2000 psi and with a regulator you can easily get that to 60, 90 or 120 psi for tool use. But a tank will cost you $100 or more to purchase and refilling will be about $20 and tank will not last very long.
Pneumatic tools use a LOT of air and many air compressors don’t have the capacity to keep them running for long (I have a small Sears compressor on a tank and when used on the few grinding, etc. tools I have, it runs fine for a few minutes, but then the pressure drops as I take more air each minute than the compressor can force into the tank.
I am seeking pneumatic tool repair parts for several days but there wasn’t any result. So I apply to you to get some advice. In what place is it better to purchase what I need? Thanx in advance for your answer!

In aircraft construction or repair work, I find the “alligator” type pneumatic squeezer to be significantly more efficient than the far more common “C” type pneumatic squeezer. Although comparitively more costly, it is also more ergonomic and able to reach structural areas of an aircraft a “C” type squeezer simply cannot access. For example, a clip or bracket can be easily retrofitted and riveted to an existing floor stiffener…an area that would be impossible for a “C” type squeezer to access. This tandem cylinder examble is strong enough to squeeze heavy AD6 rivets and as the video demonstrates, can make make very short work of most dimpling operations.

Long used in metal fabrication and restoration to smooth large areas of metal, welds and gentle panel crowning. The power head is a heavy-duty aircraft rivet gun. The sturdy frame with 18″ throat depth, is beefy enough to smooth 18-gauge steel! A quick release allows the lower shaft to slide down, to accept panels with deep flanges. The power head adjustment controls the intensity from light to very powerful hammering. A foot control starts and stops the hammering. The tool includes one 1-1/2″ dia. flat top die, 3 anvils with different contours and instructions.

Whenever my father or I use any tool (from a paintbrush to a pneumatic air compressor to a stapler to a screwdriver) my dog will freak out, start shaking, panting heavily, and will be right on our toes. Is she afraid of the tools or something?
I believe she is afraid of the noise,the Air Compressor makes.
