will this thing operate at 350-400 FT LB of torque at only 90 psi from the compressor? or would it have to be higher?

it worked for me at 90 psi and did great just remmber to add oil to it before you use it and it will do a great job

I have a 15 Gallon Porter Cable with 5.7 cuft @ 90 psi air delivery. That works but not at full speed.More would be better. So if you have less power than mine I think it will be frustrating !

You can use it for that since the upper limit is 120 PSI however as a one gallon compressor it too will take a while. On the UP side it is belt drive so won't be loud and should run cooler that the direct drive units out there.

My take is, with the lowest setting, it will hit 120ftlbs in no time. Since this is a twin clutch, I hear the torque limiters don't work with this tool because of the smooth impacts. You will have to test to find out.

I no expert ...but I think it might damage the compressor to operate it that way.....also it is really a top load design....but overall I really like the unit....better than I expected....fast cooling times

My only concern would be that with this compressor your psi may get to low while doing larger areas. This unit has no tank and psi drops fast and would cause the compressor to run a lot. Does come with adapters for larger compressor

Nope, nothing. Wouldn't you think it would? Anyway, great little compressor. Just plan a trip or two to the hardware store before you can actually use it.

I know what it is rated as but I only take it to 90 PSI. I use it for little jobs when I don't want to hall my 100 ft of compressor hose with quick connects. Also got rid of their hose and bought a short compressor hose with correct fittings for connection to tank and a quick connect to connect my other air tools. This unit like the rest has only a tire filling fitting. With those changes it does the job. I think the company would be smart giving a better hose choice for a few pennies more. Good Luck!

I don't think that this compresser will pump up tires to 90 psi. It works great on 15" tires on my wifes Jeep and does alright on the 20" tires on my Ram 1500 up to about 40 psi but I think 90 psi would be too much for it to handle.

90psi operating pressure is fine, the pancake compressor works fine for home projects. If nailing fast and a lot at one time the compressor will cycle more.

Yes it would, compressor cycle start will surge to about 2400 watts that does not leave much room for lights or anything else

Yes no problem. Im a shop owner and have an 80 gallon compressor for work. This unit is great for home use.

Any compressor will work for a limited time before the pressure is too low. But I would think that is too small to work for more than a minute or so. Others may have a different experience. If you have enough air to power it, this is the most fantastic purchase of a piece of precision equipment that I have ever made. Works extremely well. I would have expected it to be 3-4 times the price

Yes it will. I bought mine for the portability of it and I use a3 gallon compressor on mine you just have to let the compressor catch up with it cause the impact will use more air than the compressor will keep up with

that compressor is fine the nail gun operates at 120 max. I was running the gun around 100 to 110 psi No Problems.

Same here I had one and it would do 1 or 2 lugs, 95# torque, before running out of air using a 1/2" Chicago Pneumatic gun. Ran air staplers, pin nailer's and other smaller CFM tools real nice. Very quiet and reasonably light weight. And it is a Makita! To run wheel lug nuts or take off a serious nut better off getting a different, more CFM unit.

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
