Impact Wrench Recommendations

[David Kase]

Isn't a large compressor needed to run an impact wrench?  I guess for 
short bursts, maybe not.  But it would suck to sit there and have to 
wait for your compressor when trying to do a few bolts.

I have a 60 gallon 6 hp compressor in the basement.  I hard piped it up 
to a hose reel in the garage.  The neighbors think I am "the shit".  ;-)  
(others think I am white trash as I am always working on a car in the 
garage, even though as mentioned, the cars are /in /the garage...)
