Troubleshooting your air impact wrench.
If your impact wrench is not working like it used to, there are
a few things you may check before you throw it in the dumpster.
If you are experiencing low power on your air impact wrench,
here are three easy steps. The first problem could be a dirty
inlet bushing or air strainer screen. Just simply clean both of
these with a suitable cleaning solution. Next, examine the
cylinder. Replace it if it is worn or broken or if the bore is
scored or wavy. Finally, disassemble the tool and clean all
parts with a suitable cleaning solution in a well ventilated
area. Reassemble the tool according to manual. These three easy
steps can solve low power problems most of the time. If your
impact wrench is not impacting properly, try this. Check and
make sure the air tool has been properly lubricated. Lubrication
is absolutely critical to maintaining your air tools at peak
performance. To resolve lack of lubrication, remove the hammer
case and lubricate the mechanism. Once the hammer case has been
removed inspect the impact wrench mechanism parts. Replace any
broken or worn parts. Most manufacturers include detailed
instructions on how to do this procedure in the manual. These
are a few easy procedures that can extend the life of your
impact wrench and restore it to its original working condition.
