Is this compressor suitable for use with a half-inch impact wrench? I'd like to rotate tires with it (for example)...

Yes. This compressor will run any air tool you would like. I run impacts, cutoff tools, sand blasters, air saws, die grinders, nail guns and all sorts of things off of it. It just need to run the motor more to keep filled since it's smaller. Not a huge deal just let it cool down periodically.

I just used it with a 1/2 impact wrench today to rotate tires, worked great! Don't expect to open a tire shop with it, but for occasional use it's more than adequit. I set the output pressure up to 120 PSI to get the most out of my impact gun.

The compressor is excellent for any work, painting, sandblasting and I guess for connecting a pneumatic tool bede not have any problems ... the compressor load your tank up to 200 pounds of pressure and has a regulator that gives the ability to deliver this pressure of 200 to 0 lbras.

Yes no problem. Im a shop owner and have an 80 gallon compressor for work. This unit is great for home use.

I have a snapon mg725 and it works well. However, you cam zip car tires off easily with a 3/8 gun also. I use my snappy 3/8" gun for taking tires off my vehicles, its a beast. Compressor works well, i always set regulator to max psi for doing that stuff though.

Michael.This compressor was not designed for this job. The volume it produces is far too small to do a tire in a reasonable amount of time. ARB offers a tire inflation kit (part #171302) that can be fitted to any of the larger compressors such as the CKMA12. However, even that model is slow. Expect a 30 minute fill time for a tire. if you have any questions please let us know

I run a 1/2 inch impact pretty regularly. It doesn't cycle that much. It has a very hard time with a cut off tool or angle grinder.

this compressor is ideal for very lite duty work.not big enough tank to operate air ratchet or impact tools

No, it is not big enough. It can pump up tires but it takes a while to do that. It does not produce enough air. It would not run our impact wrench.

I have that exact compressor. It not only works well, but I've even used a 12V extension cord to help reach the back tires. As I mentioned in my review, I've also used it to run an electric impact wrench and an electric scissor jack. BTW, for tire changing, it's helpful to have an extension cord with multiple outlets. That way, you can plug everything in and not have to walk around to the battery to swap out the plugs (obviously, you should only run one thing at a time). With this set-up, you can jack up the vehicle - I use the InstaJack - and take the lug nuts off while barely breaking a sweat. As a side note, I bought this clip-on power socket because the power sockets in my Tundra would shut off before I could finish inflating the tires or jacking it up off of the ground.

I would say it would be ok. The difference between an impact driver and impact wrench are slight, but basically the wrench as no "forward" impact. I mainly use it for light jobs and this is overpowered.

I believe it will work fine. My son bought one and uses it on a smaller compressor with no problems.

Dean, I would contact DeVilbiss for a better answer than I could provide you. Our shop had a huge compressor that ran everything. I'm thinking that if you didn't do a lot of spraying a 3 or 4 HP would work especially if you use any other pneumatic tools.

I used mine for a nailer to nail down my hardwood floors. really good compressor for that - also use it to top up my car tyres on occasion!

The unit does not have enough free cfm to run a 1/2 impact wrench without constantly waiting for the compressor to recharge. Ordinarily the impact wrench needs at least 8 to 10 cfm output to run the wrench with near constant use.

I don't own a 1/2 inch impact wrench yet. Have just been using it with small nail and brad guns so far. Works fine with them. Sorry.

I have the tool with the 1/4 impact socket head. If you need to "drill" in very tight spaces, the impact head version may be too large to fit as either an adapter or special drill bits (with 1/4 socket adaption) are required. As others have said, base the decision on what YOUR primary use will be. That said, I may get this version, also. I like the various Makita tools and have several 1.5 and 3.0 batteries.

Yes, I use this compressor to air my tires. You will need to purchase attachment available in any hardware or home supply store for $15-$20. Don't forget the quick connect (if the tire attachment doesn't come with it). A great compressor kit, use it all the time.

I run a 3/8 impact when rotating my tires and it does fine. Recovery with this unit is fairly quick. If you want to run the sander continuous for extended periods of times probably not. I would check the CFM of the sander and compare with the output of this unit.

this is an impact driver not an impact wrench. it is used for instance on sheetrock. it allows the installer to set the driver so when you screw it down it will not go completely through the rock it will stop at the surface.

The compressor has worked well with the pneumatic tools. I found it on sale later at Lowes.
