not very well mc
6 gallon is too small. Assuming that you can get about 100-125 psi, it may work, but you ‘ll never get the maximum torques from the impact gun. Just try it out and see if it will work for you. It will be good for low torque stuff.
Remember shop air compressors have 5+hp motor and about 100 gallon tanks. Pamarand
The pressure is the key for short bursts from an impact wrench. Steady, continuous use will empty the reservoir faster than the compressor fills it – but if you’re willing to wait a short time for the compressor to build between using the gun, you’ll have no problem.
Die grinders, pneumatic sanders and other continuous air sucking equipment will not operate satisfactorily from this compressor. LeAnne
yes,but only in short burst… desert camel
for the amount you are buying a new compressor thats 2hp 6gallon you can find a used one that will work much better for air wrenches around the house.
atleast a 20 gallon tank and no less then 2.5hp max of constant 150+ psi Anthony
