Could Air Command II Compressor System with Air Tank Operate Impact Wrench
Published 03/06/2020
Question:
With an onboard air system, air bags and tank besides using the accessory to fill up tires what else can the system handle? I am specifically wondering if it can support air tools like an impact driver that can assist in a breakdown situation. It doesnt seem like you can adjust the tank pressure or maybe I am wrong.

Impact wrenches require typically quite a bit of CFM and PSI to function properly. Just the compressor alone of the Air Command II Compressor System w F3 Wireless Remote, Xtreme Duty Compressor, Tank # F2592 wouldn't have the CFM needed as it can flow up to .94 CFM at 100 PSI. But with the tank you'd get a couple blasts before it would need to build pressure back up. Here are typical CFM and PSI requirements of impact wrenches:
3/8-inch Impact Wrench 3 CFM 90 PSI
1/2-Inch Impact Wrench 5 CFM 90-100 PSI
3/4-inch Impact Wrench 7 CFM 90-100
