Normal for an impact gun to do this?


Recommended Posts

I have a husky 300ftlb impact, 20 gallon compressor (4 cuft/min @90psi), and a 50ft 3/8 air hose. Compressor was charged to 150 psi, regulator set to 90psi.

The impact I'm using will stall out - will stop hammering and just sit there leaking air until I pulse the trigger a few times. Then it does 1-2 more hammers, then just sits there again.

When it stalls only a tiny bit of air comes out of the handle, much less than if I were to take it off the bolt and spin it up "free air"

Is this typical? My battery powered hand drill w/ impact attachment puts out more torque than this

is it new ? or old?

did you oil it like normal ?

edit: what is the air regulator knob set to ? (on the bottom of the handle)

could be offset

Both are brand new

Oiled the gun, spun it around by hand, put more oil in it, then whizzed it through with the air. Then took it off, oiled it once more, then used it. Each time I oiled I used about 5 drops. It was the first time being used so I wanted to be sure it was nice and lubed

Regulator is set to 90psi.

I can get a video if it's helpful

Well like a true genius I can't find the receipt to take it back. So I guess I'll be taking advantage of the warranty.

Will get a video up tomorrow

I have this happen all the time with one I have from advance auto. It only does that with a certain position I hold it. If I hold the gun straight down or at a 45 degree angle its perfectly fine but if its anything more than that or sideways it will just leak air and not spin at all. It works perfectly fine as long as its not tilted sideways or upside down. I don't know if its something inside that jams it or what but thats what I found with mine. Have you tried to use different positions when you were using the gun?
