Pneumatic tools I'll be getting a compressor here in a week or so. What brands are good to get? What should I stay away from? I thought I'd go check in the pawn shops to see what they have (maybe get some good quality stuff a little cheaper).
I have mostly craftsman hand tools and have been happy with them. How do thier pneumatic tools compare (I'm not a big fan of thier electric tools like saws).

Re: Pneumatic tools I would say definitly get the best from the start. I would get IR ingersaw rand tools if i was to do it again and will when i have the money to upgrade. For instance i have some knock off brand of air tools. Well some of them work just fine. But my impact gun wont even take off lug nuts. I say IR brand because i know a mech that has a smaller impact gun that is 100% better than my bigger no name gun. It was a bad *** little gun by IR. Aslo lube them often to help them to last.
That is my .02$

Re: Pneumatic tools A lot of the Sears/Craftsman air tools are rebedged Ingersol Rand tools. I have a nice Craftsman/IR 1/2" impact gun that came from Sears, and a Craftsman 3/8" air ratchet that works great also.
Sears has some pretty nice/good quality air tools.

Re: Pneumatic tools I've got a Husky 22 Gallon vertical oil-less compressor. It's just a rebadged Campbell-Hausfield.
It's my first compressor and I'm real happy with it. It's gotten a fair amount of use this week, had to change the water pump, timing belt, crank pulley and valve cover gaskets on my beater.

Re: Pneumatic tools My friend blew a lower radiator hose on a Ford Ranger.
It is so freaking tight up by the water pump, I couldn't get a screwdriver on the hose clamp and there was no ratchet room.
I broke out my 1/4" drive air ratchet and made short work of that sucka!
Air tools good ...

Re: Pneumatic tools well I ended up getting a Husky 1/2" Impact wrench and it came with 3/8" rachet, case, socket, and a few other accessories. It's the same impact gun they sell seperately for the same price, and the rachet they sell for $40 or $50. So all this for $60....pretty good i thought with a lifetime warrranty
