Why is the average CMF 4, but Load is 24 CMF? What kind of compressors do this tool need? Does it have a setting for adjusting torque?

I would say the average is more like 9 cfm for normal auto use. As for as a compressor, I have a 20 gal and that is probably the minumum for this wrench. It has a high and low setting no torque adjustment.

The DW292 generates an output torque of 345 ft lbs. Unlike an air tool, it's not designed for adjustment. if you require a specific (tightening) torque value, you should utilize a torque wrench. I hope this helps.

There is no standard answer since factors such as temperature, humidity, water saturation, pipe size at the compressor location all affect the SCFM. If you supply all factors to C.H.'s tech support they will calculate it for ou.

depends on the balancer and how tight it is. I'd run the compressor at what ever tank pressure will consistently read 90psi with the tool running, probably 100 psi or more. I wouldn't go lower than 4.5-5 CFM, but it'll want more like 10-15 cfm under full load. Compressor ratings are for constant usage, your usage is momentary for an impact wrench. I have a 33gal compressor that'll do about 4.9 cfm and that's adequate. Next compressor is going to be a 60-80 gal though, but not specifically for this tool.

There is no torque information sent with the product. I do know that it is somewhat higher than any of the 18 volt drivers I have used. I suspect that the Impact driver attachment which I also have and used is much greater than the standard drill driver.

The MV50 has a 120psi capacity and the MF-1050 has a 150psi capacity, so in short, even though they both have a 12 volt motor I'm assuming the MF-1050 us just a newer model or redesigned compressor with more air push. I have not had any issues with mine at all and if fills a tire relatively fast but of course not as fast as a full size air compressor.

I have not used the Compressor to run any tool so far. The specs are athttp://www.portercable.com/products/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=23677It may not have the continuous delivery for a 3 psi tool.Have you talked to anyone at Porter Cable?

I usually run my compressor at 90-100 lbs, and make sure the staples are sharp side down. Good luck!

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.

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.

There are 3 settings for torque on this gun - one could use the medium setting then finalizing torque by hand with a torque wrench to the exact specification you desire. 500 lbs is a lot of torque however. I use this on the high setting when I'm only torqueing my truck wheels to 150 ft lbs and its ok as long as I don't torque overly long.

The Range from 90 to 120 is pretty normal for most air tools. I would dial it down to 115 PSI at the highest end. More pressure is unnecessary, and may prematurely ware out the tool. I personally set my compressor to 90 PSI and only step it up in 10 pound increments if I need more power. If the tool you are using starts having problems that force you to crank up the pressure, then chances are there is more wrong then low pressure on the tool, especially if you increase the pressure beyond the recommended range. Never do that.

With my use I usually only ran 40-50 lbs for good rpm control, and light load, and a 3/8 hose, possibly your load is overriding the torque, but at 150 lbs of pressure it is quite likely that you will need a 3/8 or larger hose for this to produce its max torque under a fairly heavy load. Dan

I'm using a portable 6 gallon 150 psi pancake compressor made by Stanley. It's fine for my basement/garage projects using any of my 3 nail guns.

"what kinda of compressor should i use for these?" Hi, I found a very nice compressor... V-Power 21 gallons and 2.5HP and max at 125psi.... It is just enough to give intermittent blasts on the impact wrench. I might add an extra storage tank to possibly kick it up to 30-ish gallons? The perfect world is 30 gal. and with 5HP might be the better spec. Hope this helps.

Hello,With this question I would suggest going to someone who knows about coilovers. You don't need compressors because you can lower the perch to take the spring off. You should always set preload on coilovers. Megan racing has all of the info you need to know about them on their website.

The density (type) of hardwood is going to make some amount of difference, but I was using 90psi for 3/4" maple. Can't tell you CFM because I have 150psi tank and the compressor kicks on at ~ 120psi; I was never dealing with a tank pressure anywhere near or below 90psi where the compressor was running. And I mean ... it would also depend on how fast you were nailing; it's not like this is a tool that runs continuously. Given that I would think almost anything would give you enough CFM @ 90psi unless you've got a crew all working off the same compressor with multiple pneumatic tools causing it to be continuously running (Or, you were 'Bishop' from 'Aliens' and firing 120 nails a minute, I suppose).
