[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 377653, member: 13599"] I have a 28cfm 80 gal tank with a piggy-back 60 gal tank in line @ 120 psi. All my tools are Porter Cable and some times I must break stubborn nuts with a pipe bar. They are just so tight. I also have the 6 gallon home compressor and the impact gun works the same. It is probably not your air supply but the configuration of your impact tool. My brother told me about holding the socket while you apply the torque. So I have heard that before also. Just keep eliminating the possible problems until you figure it out. Your setup should work as is. I just checked my air wrench but the tag is gone so I don't know the torque to it. It weighs 6 pounds, 2 ounces if that helps any. If you can, borrow a friends impact wrench (of a different model) and run it on your setup then compare the results. I am NOT a mechanic by any means !!! I just like older Porter Cable tools. And the reason I have so much air is that I used to do a lot (a LOT) of sandblasted redwood signs "back in the day".
