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

And there is nothing more embarrassing than slapping that new, powerful, expensive wrench on the nut and having it spin YOU around in circles.

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.
