Trigger smoothness? Can anybody tell me how much control you have with the trigger? I have a 3/8" nitro cat and its almost an on off switch. I need something that I can easily and smoothly control the power with so I don't strip out smaller bolts. I know the power level is adjustable, but thats not what I am concerned about.

As long as you don't have a heavy finger, you can control it pretty well. Just like any other one though, you push too hard it'll show it's worth lol bought one or work, use it frequently.

It's fairly controllable but the wrench has a lot of power , the trigger is sensitive but linear and it gets better as it is used

I have to admit the trigger isn't very smooth and it makes it a little difficult to control. But the gun is made for torque and it delivers.

It is possible to feather the trigger so to speak but this is not really a gun for "Small Bolts" its called Killer Torque for a reason. Maybe try a air ratchet instead of a impact gun for those "Smaller Bolts".

Nope this is not real controllable like a drill but if you play with it you can somewhat control the speed just fine.

I bought the aircat 1150 impressive trigger control i can reduce the torque apllied with trigger squeeze the dial is only the max torue apllied at that setting while the trigger allows a varibable up to the selected setting

The trigger on my 1/2 drive air cat is quite controllable. In truth, I don't have much reason to go into a bolt lightly, but if it were necessary, I feel like it certainly is doable without stripping or twisting off a smaller bolt. Best of luck to you.

No it is not, trigger speed is a little slow but probably the most durable and easy to work and beat option for the money! Good luck

no you have to mod it so you can do that.take out things that specifically block the trigger from shooting rapidly. bunch of videos on youtube about that.

Be gentle when you pull the trigger to let it spin up to speed. If you just gas it, it will always overshoot. After a few good starts, and you get the hang of it, it is very quick and easy.

I have tried a lot of pellets, Crossman Premier Hollow Points, Benjamin's, and others and you know what? I have found that the gun shoots straighter than I can hold and squeeze the trigger properly with all of them. As long as I use a heavy lead pellet to keep the speed down, the gun shoots great. I guess if I bench rested the gun and squeezed the trigger perfectly repeatedly, I could tell an accuracy difference between pellets. But I hunt using the best rest I can find (the side of a tree usually!) and try my best to use proper shooting technique. If I do that, old bushytail is usually toast. I like this gun (Umarex OCTANE 22 cal) except it is really heavy to carry, and I can't figure out a way to put a sling on it.

The only way to control the torque is letting up on the trigger which works okay. I mainly use this for lug nuts and when I start it I let up on the trigger. In a way I wish it did have an adjustable torque setting like their drills. The specs say max torque is 300 ft. lbs however mine won't loosed my lug nuts on my Chevy truck which the torque is 140 ft.lbs. I hope this helps.

I cant find no .300AAC Blackout loads . Is this a wild cat? I have never herd of this round at all! Can you tell me more and send picks of this round? You have my interest!

Definitely variable. Think of the speeds as gearing. Within that gearing you can control how fast or slow based on pull of the trigger from min to max allowed by that gearing.

My husband said that the trigger is on-off but the torque is variable. He has a F350 dually and didn't have any problems taking off the rims to do a brake change. He had a smaller air wrench that didn't work for that job. He loves this one

Pressure on the trigger can regulate the speed, but it is an impact tool and, as such, I use it for hard drilling and driving with full juice. Sorry for the late response.

I also would like to know how to set the lever. It feels pretty much the same to me and I have not been able to find any documentation on the setting. I see reviews that say they set it in one mode or the other. Could one of them reply to this post?

It does have a really touchy trigger but can start out pretty slow. It starts a lot slower than my similar Dewalt. You just have to be careful because there is a fine line between being just right & making a mess... (btw I've had this drill over 2 years now & use it hard everyday. Not 1 problem. )Good luck

When I received it and with a 1500 Watt load, mine was running about 62.0 Hz to 62.2 Hz at 122.5 VAC. There is a governor adjustment (a phillips head screw) located on the motor just above the recoil start housing. It's easily accessible from the same end where the choke control is located. I was able to adjust it so it is almost exactly 60 Hz, +/- about 0.1 Hz. The frequency being off is probably the largest problem when dealing with twitchy furnaces (mostly the variable-speed ones) and computer UPS systems, so this is a worthwhile adjustment to make.

Paul, I was thinking the same thing when I purchased my new Hitachi. I'm very glad now, I didn't buy the single shot trigger kit, the factory one is fine,just don't keep the trigger held down. After using it for a few days I'm very happy with this tool.Good Luck!

You can control the speed with trigger. With trigger fully depressed speed set by contoller

I really didn't find any variation in speed. I just pressed and released the trigger quickly to give small, quick turns rather than a slow drill. I tried over and over to get a light press, but it was all or nothing for me. I do like it very much, however, for small jobs inside the house when my husband is not available with his bigger, more powerful drill driver. It is just the right size and weight for a woman and household fixes.
