I’been an auto tech for 4 decades, now semi retired, so air tool was king.
The kids at work have very powerful battery guns, ratchets and air tools.
So at home garage, for my own needs, I have smaller compressor mostly being used for tire pressure, air blower after washing, plus some other small applications or emergency. I also have a big old style but powerful 110V-1/2 drive electric gun that mostly collects dust.
The bottom line: anything for our cars I do at work, motorcycles, small applications at home.
Don't do any side jobs.
Crack that bolt loose… so we can finish with this lengthy problem....and don't use JB weld next time

Yeah, I never use air tools. Hand wrench and torqued (where necessary), always.

Go watch the YouTube channel I shared. They test all the brands / options and give real world results. Lots to see, lots to learn.

There are some cheap options that give very good results- certainly enough to pop your nut next time.

And even if you only do it once- buy it, use it, sell it online for half and come out ahead.

Yea... I have 2 upright belt driven 240v compressors w/ multiple overhead air reels... I can't remember the last time I turned one on for anything other than putting air in a tire.
